Great product!
Rating: 5
Bought this jig saw for a little project online through Wal-Mart site. Ordering was smooth until checkout. Delivery although didnt do such good job. Item was suppose to be deliver to home that turns out i had to go get it from mailbox. The product has a lot of power and the trigger is such a booster the control of speed makes you feel like a pro. Curve selection is as useful as it is. Great for all around the house improvements. Definitely recommended.

Glad I bought it.

I am a hobbyist so I was looking for an affordable jig saw to build things for my layout. I used the stock blade and was pleased with its ability to cut curves. It has good power and is smooth while cutting which is great for me being a layman with wood work. I like the vacuum attachment since it helps shorten cleanup time.

Perfect size for my projects

My husband bought this jigsaw for me when I was making a baby cradle for a family member. It is light enough that I can handle it comfortably even with the arthritis in my hands. I needed it to cut out stars in the sides of the cradle and it worked perfectly. I have used it several times since then and am very happy with it. I like the adjustable features. I have used it when I wanted a slower controlled cut and also when I wanted it to cut quickly. It is very easy to use and I haven't tried to use it for anything it hasn't been able to handle. I'm sure at some point I will find out it isn't the best tool for some cutting needs but so far I haven't found anything. I have wanted a jigsaw for a while and I am so glad to have one finally. I have several black and decker tools and they are all very good.

Great Value

I thought it was a excellent piece of equipment for the price. Used it to cut out fairly intricate patterns on 3/4” plywood and it did a great job with the variable speed. I am a novice and found it easy to use.

Affordable and beautifully designed

I would give this brand new jewel a 4 out of 5 for all rounder. I ordered it from Walmart (being cheaper than online competition and local market here in Canada). It arrived within a few days. It came with a single T-shank blade. I used it on various types of wood and it really handles very well. Cutting 45 degrees was a breeze (simply slightly unscrew the bottom plate, select angle and screw again. I had to purchase a couple of blades for plastic and metal. Vacuum cleaner attachment is provided but I did not see the use of it for the projects I have made. I made a tools-organizer in the garage and this jigsaw is now occupying a permanent seat on the wall.

Appears Mode Control Dial is reversed. The Manual indicates least aggressive cut is a "1" and most aggressive cut is "4". However the "1" shows a very curvy line and "4" indicates a straight line. I would think the straight line (least aggressive) should be a "1" and the most curvy line should be a "4".

Waiting to see...

I bought this jigsaw recently and have used it twice for light jobs. During second use a retaining ring holding to blade guide in place fell off, rendering the tool useless. Tried a home center to find a replacement ring and none carry one that small. Now I'm stuck. Went on this site to contact support and the "Contact Use" section errors out. If they resolve this quickly, perfect. If not, its a poor design with a simple fail point. Hopefully they'll get it resolved for me
