Best Darn Jigsaw
Rating: 5
This was given to me to review from a friend and then I loved it so much I purchased my own today. I love the line start mode and the ease of installing the blade along with all the other features on this saw. Its heavy duty and exudes quality with a life time warranty this one you can't pass up it is a must have in the wood working shop.

Surprising performance!
Rating: 5
This is my first cordless jig saw and I'm very impressed with the overall performance. I was apprehensive about power output and battery life since I'm used to traditional corded power tools but this saw has conquered every job I've put it up against. It's nice being able to install and remove the blade as well as make all adjustments by flipping a lever or turning a knob instead of using another tool.
