Bosch, GST 185-LI, 18 V, Cordless Jigsaw

The Bosch GST 185-LI Professional Cordless Jigsaw, 18 V, 2 x 4.0 Ah, is a battery-powered cutting tool designed for curved and straight cuts in wood, aluminium and steel. It runs on an 18 V Li-Ion battery platform with a brushless motor that delivers a variable stroke rate of 500–3,500 strokes per minute. The 26 mm stroke length supports efficient material removal across substrates. At 90°, the jigsaw cuts up to 125 mm in wood, 20 mm in aluminium and 10 mm in steel. This cordless flexibility, combined with multi-material capacity, makes it suitable for professional tradespeople and workshop users.

Weighing 1,900 g in a top-handle format, the jigsaw features a two-speed mechanical gearbox that adapts motor output to material density. The base plate adjusts for bevel cuts up to 45°, extending its use to angled work. This package includes two 4.0 Ah Li-Ion batteries, a charger and one T 144 D Speed for Wood blade. The batteries are removable and cross-compatible with the wider Bosch 18 V tool range, so users who already own Bosch 18 V equipment can share power sources between tools.
