Bought a Model #4295 (4.5 Amp) saw and have used it a few times getting started on a kitchen remodel. It's done fine so far, if I have any issues/other praise it'll be noted.

Easy to use
Rating: 5
I bought this Skil saw as a replacement , it's has more power and very easy to use. This saw is very basic for a beginner to use. It's also great to be able to purchase a saw that's very in expense. I also would take a very long look at other Skil products too .

It is easy to use
Rating: 4
After reading the instructions and features I was impressed with the safety features listed on the enclosed info pages. For my 1st use of the unit, following the instructions I found it very easy to use. I would recommend the product to my friends and would purchase other Skil tools as needel.

Great basic jigsaw for the DIYer
Rating: 4
I purchased this jigsaw to replace another Skil jigsaw that had served me well for many years. This one has slightly more power than my old one but otherwise works the same. The ONLY con is that it is designed for a right handed person. Being a leftie when I used the jigsaw for the first time I was unpleasantly surprised to find all the sawdust was being blown directly into my face. I didn't have this problem with my old one. My solution was to buy a pair of chemical goggles that enclose the entire eye area. Problem solved. I would have given it a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the sawdust problem.
