The jigsaw arrived same day as advertised; I put it to work, right away. Worked well. The next day, a set of different blades, for a variety of different projects, some for wood, and others, as well—may be even more pleased, with the opportunity to choose the best blade for each project. Can’t comment further on that as yet. This is my first experience using a jigsaw. It seems to cut as I expected, and is versatile, curving when I need a curve. I’m not very strong; if I can use this, anyone up for woodworking projects surely can too! The saw blade was easy to put in place. The jigsaw only weighs 2 lbs, and was easy to handle. It takes some effort to cut 1/2” plywood, so at times, I needed to use my other hand, to steady my grip. But ultimately, it worked.
The power seems sufficient— it’s a trade-off; a jigsaw with greater power would cost more and weigh more.
This was sufficient for the weekend woodworker with an occasional need for a jigsaw.
I highly recommend using earmuffs to protect your hearing and safety glasses. Fortunately, I had those already. Be advised, noise experts caution that earplugs, while they may deaden the noise, WON’T protect your hearing. (A word to the wise.)
I also ordered a Package of four plastic clamps; just enough to hold in place the project I’ve been making in place. The six-inch size is sufficient for holding 1/2” plywood while using my new jigsaw. Very good value for the money! These may not last as long as clamps made from other materials, but are OK for the occasional quick project.
