Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW321KR Heavy-Duty 5.8 Amp Top Handle Jig Saw

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes.

Whether at home, in the basement, or at a remodeling site, DeWalt's 5.8 amp jig saw makes cutouts the way they should be: quick and hassle-free. Vibration-dampening rubber grips soak up the shocks, making it easier to hold the line, and the counterbalance design places the weight squarely over the shoe. Need a fast cut? Flip the orbital adjustment switch to position four (maximum swing) and cruise through material at up to 3,100-inch-long strokes per minute. For more precise cuts in high-visibility areas, use the zero setting (orbitless motion) for a cleaner edge. Thanks to an adjustable blower on the right side, sawdust is whisked out of the line of sight, a feature we always appreciate in a jig saw. The shoe locks on this saw seem sturdier than the one on DeWalt's cordless model and the shoe easily adjusts--with a tool-free lever--to slide forward or backward for flush cutting, and also bevels 45 degrees to both sides. No wrenches are required to change blades, either: simply pull and turn the top, remove the old blade, and replace it with the desired universal or T-shank--a handy, timesaving design that is unique to DeWalt. --Justin Paul

1.0 out of 5 stars I should have bought the Bosch, October 2, 2001

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW321KR Heavy-Duty 5.8 Amp Top Handle Jig Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am on my second saw in 6 months with little use

Good points:

Lots of power
Accepted universial and T shank blades

Bad points:
Sole plate sticks and is hard to accurately adjust.
Both saws pulled to the left when cutting.
Could not cut a straight line using a guide fence, blade would pop out of guide roller or pull the wood lose from a clamped down guide fence resulting in a bowed cut. The cut was also off perpenducilar. Got two different stories from Dewalt on this. One person said it should saw with a guide fence(straightedge) another person said it wouldn't and I needed to buy a different tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need to improve Keyless blade, June 28, 2001

By 

Carlos Rivera (Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews

I purchased this item and the only problem that I have found is the keyless blade system. The operator manual doesn't mention that you must have the blade attachment at the right position before the keyless blade will function. To set the blade attachments to the right position you will have to operate the jig saw and try to stop the reciprocating blade shaft attachment to the exact position. This will require few trys and lots of patience.

1.0 out of 5 stars a shoeless wonder, October 25, 2001

Jim Smith, Sr (Waynesville, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Factory-Reconditioned DEWALT DW321KR Heavy-Duty 5.8 Amp Top Handle Jig Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

The black shoe falls off regularly (which knocks the transparent covers off, as well). Received a replacement, but don't know if it's going to work. Grat for sawing curves with bevels...just can't saw straight at 90 degrees. Blades bend from lateral movement while sawing. Not a good 'un. Go with Bosch or Porter Cable. Got sharp teeth? Buy a coping saw. Or a knife. Wish I had....
