Bosch Professional Hand Held Circular Saw GKS 190 (240V, Saw Blade Ø 190 mm, Rated Input Power 1,400 W, incl. 1 x Circular Saw Blade, Parallel Guide, Hex Key)

I've been living my life using a jigsaw to cut wood. I also bought a table jigsaw to make life easier but even with a guide, as they cut so slow, I'd never get a perfect line.With this - I trimmed around 1cm off the bottom of a door when I put new carpet in and didn't need to use a guide to get a perfect line. I simply placed masking tape on the door, drew a straight line and followed it with this. It was like putting a hot knife through butter, cut with ease!The only annoyance is that blade shield which you have to prop up a bit when cutting something thick as it gets in the way. You can let go once the cutting begins but it's an awkward annoyance. I'd prefer if I could adjust the bottom point but it's a minor complaint.The box it comes in is very sturdy as well but like all Bosch tools; the hardest part is putting the power cable back in the box so it will close properly!Definitely recommend this.

The merchandise arrived on time. It was as per the seller’s description, as well as per my requirements. The packaging was adequate for transport. The product I had ordered, has proven to be just right for the use intended. My overall experience, with this purchase has been excellent. Always good product to have available.

This one was discounted and was extremely good vale for money and is up to the usual quality and more than needed for a DIYer.

Bought the saw to build a 3.2m x 3.7m pergola with all straight cuts and scallop cuts, mitre cuts of various angles and also, depth of cut. These various adjustments were very easy to use and I used the parallel guide to long cut 6ft fencing slats. I wished I had bought this last year for other tasks I had. It made light work of the large amount of cuts I had to do.I felt it was value for money compared to Screwfix etc, but was a bit upset when receiving an email from Amazon a week later asking would you like to buy again with a price drop of 20%I also bought the Bosch sawdust collection bag which worked fine to keep the work area clear just needed to empty it regularly.

Bought mine when it was on offer (£75) and overall I'm happy with it. It complements my old B&D saw which is 10 years old and showing its age. The Bosch is definitely lighter and more manageable but nothing remarkable - I don't like the safety button on it though. Don't get me wrong the feature itself is a must but I just find the design here a bit fiddly and causes some faffing which is not ideal when using a hand-held circular saw. Maybe it's just me. I did ponder for quite a while whether to get this one or the Makita but the near £35 difference at the time was enough to sway me and I'm sure this one will do admirably. I've registered it and got the 3 year warranty which is a nice bonus as well as a very nice plastic case which I'll probably never use.

Good value and a nice weight to use

Really good tool

Thank you
