From the Manufacturer

DEWALT¿s 28V Cordless Jig Saw with NANO Technology is powered by a combination of a high-efficiency DEWALT-built motor and exclusive 28V nano-phosphate lithium ion battery. This combination delivers maximum power and the runtime of 28V, but at 7.2 lbs. weighs one third of a pound less than traditional 18V jig saws. The DC318K is designed with a 1¿ stroke length and 0-2,700 spm with an electric brake, allowing for improved control and versatility in different materials and applications. For further control, a four-position orbital action feature provides users with the ability to control the aggressiveness of cut and speed. DeWALT designed the DC318K with an all-metal lever action keyless blade clamp for quick and easy blade changes. Additionally, the DC318K has an all-metal keyless shoe with detents at 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees, providing versatility for easy bevel cutting. An anti-slip comfort grip provides increased comfort and control for the user and an adjustable dust blower keeps the line of cut clear from debris, improving cut accuracy.

5.0 out of 5 stars 28 V Jigsaw, December 22, 2009

This review is from: DEWALT DC318K 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Jig Saw Kit with Nano Technology (Tools & Home Improvement)

Replaced an older corded Bosch jigsaw with this DeWalt model. First, going to cordless is really the way to go. This has all the power of the old corded model. In addition, this is a hefty saw and provides for very stable action. I went with the 28 volt to ensure that I have the power for precision cabinetry and decorative work. I need smooth and powerful operation with no hiccups. This saw provides everything I needed. Very smooth operation and the blade does not flex as much as the old corded saw which provides for an improved turning radius. The blade changes are much easier than the older models and the dust removal feature actually works quite well.

If you are looking for a stable, smooth and flexible jigsaw with a little more power than that provided by the 18volt model, then this is the one for you. This can seemingly go forever on one charge. Certainly will last you for the cuts on any reasonable project. The other nice thing with the Li-ion battery is you don't have to worry about battery memory and can throw it on the charger whenever you have the time.

A little pricey, but if you need a good jigsaw, this is the way to go.
