Its not your products that I have a issue with. Fedex delivery is no good for this area. Once the packages get to Grove City, oh, it leaves and go back to grove city 2 or 3 times before it is really on its way to me. Then it is dropped off at the Post office 4 miles from my house.

Good saw.
Rating: 5
I had an older reciprocating jigsaw, which is the only one I've had to compare this one to. The laser light does not seem to be helping my cuts as to the accuracy of straight lines, but I wasn't banking on the light anyhow! I like the speed, and flexibility of this saw. I just need to learn how to accurately cut a straight line when cross cutting! Definitely would recommend.

Great saw for homeowners.
Rating: 5
This saw replace a Skil jigsaw that was 30 years old. I didn't want to spend 150 dollars on a high end saw that I will only used 10 times a years. This is a very good saw. Select the correct blade and this will cut neatly and quickly. I bought the Skil variety pack at one of the big home stores. I have used it on 3/4" red oak and 3/4" plywood, no problems. Accepts U or T shank blades.

Some reviews say the laser is useless but I disagree. I have low vision and the laser is very helpful to me. I work with plywood a lot and this saw finally allows me to cut a straight line without a guide or rip fence. The tool less blade change is a great feature. No more hex key to keep track of. The motor along with the orbital action is plenty strong for cutting thicker stock. You can spend more money but you won't find a better jig saw

Nice jigsaw for the price

I find the laser not as useful as just a regular light.I wish it had a light instead of the laser light.Other than that ,a great jigsaw for the price.

You get what you paid for

You get what you paid for. Very light usage. The trigger went after 4 years. Not worth fixing. I bought a different brand.
