I was in the middle of installing plywood flooring in my attic when I realized that cutting shapes and slices of plywood by hand was going to take a loooong, tiring, no-fun-at-all time, and so I bought my first electric saw. I crossed my fingers and hoped that this inexpensive tool would last long enough to finish the job, and I was delighted to find that zipping through wood with a power tool is fun, and that this saw has lots of zing and feels solid! I'm sure there are far better jigsaws out there, but for an occasional, around the house job, this machine is absolutely fine, and I doubt I'll ever wish for anything better.

It comes with one wood saw blade. I've ordered a set of saws for wood AND metal, and now a whole new world of reducing things to little bits has opened up to me!

Purchased this jigsaw for my Father. Since then it has been used on multiple projects including replacing a floor in a trailer and cutting through 19/32" floor boards, multiple 3/4" MDF projects as well as different types of metals. Cuts through them without an issue, and the blower is nice to keep the dust out of the way. It holds a few blades on the jigsaw itself which is helpful. Excellent jigsaw for small to medium projects but not for any type of commercial use.

I am really surprised with this B&D Jig Saw. I bought it to cut circular designs in 1/2" plywood and was hoping it would have sufficient strength. Worked absolutely excellent, clean, fast, accurate, really surprising me. The quick clamp to hold the blades works fine, fast and easy to insert blades. Another advantage is its ability to hold both T type blades as well as standard. Not to overlook, a major advantage of this inexpensive model is its pure simplicity to operate. Some of higher priced models are so sophisticated that us simpletons have a severe challenge in trying to figure out just how to get the blades inserted correctly and adjust all the controls. Think I am kidding? I bought this one after renting a top of the line model and then bringing it back, not being able to even get the blades in correctly - and then found out that the experts, two of them, were no better than I at figuring out either how to get the blades in correctly. And this happened with more than one model. Further, the top of the line could only take T type blades, none of which I had. So - simplicity and effectiveness are winners.
