Just What i needed
Rating: 5
Great item to have to save time and have a quality cut. Easy to use, and having the laser to follow cuts helps with final fit.

Easy to use.
Rating: 5
The product is delivered about 2 weeks ago and I'm using it almost everyday. It's very easy to use, you just select from the diagram which cutting style you want then press the switch. Blade is easy to install & remove. I did a research before buying this product & I did not regret. The only this I'm not certain is that how long will it last.

Great Inexpensive Tool.

After buggering with an oscillating tool with metal bit for 10 minutes (I was cutting a metal screen frame) and just hearing screeching and feeling my whole body vibrate I got out my new B

Nice little unit. A little heavy but got used to that quickly.

Great saw
Rating: 5
Great saw. I purchased this because several websites listed it as the best jigsaw in 2018. After trying it, I think they were correct. This saw has good power, easy to change blades, very comfortable to hold, and cuts accurately. The only thing I thought was kind of strange is using the highlighter and black light instead of a laser. But I have lasers on several other saws and don't really use them that much, so I guess it won't be a problem. Overall, I would recommend this saw.

Good jig saw for a good price
Rating: 5
Really love this jig saw. Variable speed trigger is great. Base plate easy to adjust and locks securely so that if you need to cut at an angle, the angle you set will stay firmly in place. Dial control on the side of the unit easy to set. No complaints!

Absolutely the Best jigsaw for under $50
Rating: 4
I make musical instruments, so I know tools. I actually wore one of these out, only took 6 years (and hundreds of man hours). The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is the cheap, aluminium base plate. TOO SOFT, not rigid enough, started to bend upward at the front (like I said, lots of man-hours) so I flattened it and glued on a layer of baltic birch to keep it flat. Love the speed control and adjustable orbit. You would need to spend nearly twice as much to get something better. The light on the front is pretty useless, but so are the lasers on. Laser guides are good for circular and radial arm saws where you cut straight line, useless for saber saws. A super bright LED would be thousand tines more useful. If you want the BEST jigsaw for under $50 this is it.

Light does not work

Seems to be everything a good jigsaw has but the dadgum light doesn't come on.

I purchased this saw two weeks ago and finally got a chance to use it. First cut of a piece of plastic moulding the “saw blade support roller” fell off mid cut and I can't find the snap ring that held it on? Not very industrial or even useful as manufactured, on hold with support now, live chat doesn't work on their website either?
