The main notable features of the Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li jigsaw are its beautiful build and ergonomic design. But that is not the only thing that allows it to take its rightful place in any workshop.
Its functionality is obvious, because the Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li easily and vibration-free copes with a 20 mm asbestos-cement half-pipe in 40 seconds; almost effortlessly and with little vibration cuts a nail-embedded beam (with a special progressor-type bimetal blade) and works with 18 mm chipboard with extraordinary ease.
Advantages of using the Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li
- Like any other power tool, the Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li consists of several components, but they are assembled so that the entire product feels like a monolith in your hands. This gives confidence in the results of the work and contributes to a comfortable feeling when processing even “difficult” materials. The rubberized upper part of the device also helps here.
- The thumb can easily reach the switch, which is in the “right” place – the engineering calculation was correct.
- Curvilinear cuts are easy to make with this device due to the mushroom-shaped handle of the device. Maneuverability is also provided by the low weight and compact dimensions. Length – 230 mm, soleplate – 140 x 75 mm, height – 160 mm.
- You always know the state of the battery of the device. For this purpose, the LED indicators are located on the left side of the device – always in front of your eyes.
- The Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li has a battery overheat indicator to ensure that the tool is not overloaded during the cut. This protects cordless power toolby signaling you when you need to take a break.
- The Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li jigsaw helps your safety due to its automatic blocking function if the saw jams – in such a situation, the device simply switches off, signaling the event with a red LED.
- Did you remove a dead battery and forget to turn the power tool off? After inserting the battery, the device will not start, creating a risk of injury, but will simply flash its red LEDs. And only after turning it off and on again will it work.
- Making quality cuts is much easier with backlighting – just like professional tools, the Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li also has such an option.
- You can make oblique cuts up to 45 degrees in increments of 15 degrees to either side. That means that you have six different slant cuts at your disposal.

- The Bosch GST 10.8 V-Li is designed to be used in combination with a splinterguard in the tool shoe or platform.
- If it is necessary to cut inside material with this jigsaw, you will perform such work without any additional devices – it is possible to smoothly plunge the end of the moving saw blade into the material, after which the cut is already inside the workpiece.
- The speed control is in the range from 1500 to 2800 rpm; there is also a pendulum stroke, which improves performance.
- The jigsaw cuts 70 mm through wood, 3 mm through aluminum and unalloyed steel.
- The tool kit includes two 2-amp batteries.
