What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this jigsaw for exceptional value and reliable performance. The 6-amp motor delivers clean, accurate cuts across various materials, with variable speed control and smooth operation handling curves and intricate cuts effortlessly. Reviewers highlight tool-free blade changes, ergonomic grip, and balanced weight reducing fatigue. The LED halo light and dust blower improve visibility and accuracy. Many emphasize outstanding affordability and solid build quality, with long-term brand loyalty noted. A few report the tool becomes warm during extended heavy use, and occasional durability concerns exist, though these are outliers among overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Jig saw
Would Not Recommend6 Amp jig saw overheated to the point of near burn within 5 minutes on first use. Didn't dare to use any longer and I will return. I hope it's just a one-off event.
Skill jig saw
Would Not RecommendOrdered on 7/29 and was delivered on 8/1. Upon opening the box the saw was thrown into the shipping box with out packing and when i opened the saw found out that it was USED AND RETURNED. The saw was full of saw dust and the blade was broken off in the saw. GREAT JOB LOWES, will be returning tomorrow. Will NEVER order anything from Lowes again.

Very disappointed
Would Not RecommendPurchased this jigsaw to cut some flooring that I was installing in my kitchen. It made it through 1 1/2 boards before it shut off and stopped working.

Plenty of power
Easy to use. It doesn’t fight when making curves. Plenty of power.

A replacement for my trusty old jigsaw
Would RecommendI haven't bought a new jigsaw in 40 years and was pleasantly surprised when I bought this one. It has 3x the power, a light, and a blower. Changing the blade is a snap and I have absolutely no regrets. I hope it lasts as long as my last one!

Interchangeable Blades and Powerful.
Would RecommendAccepts both T and U shank blades. Cuts through a 2x4 easily. Light is nice. Easy to change blades. Powerful. I replaced a very old Skill jigsaw with this one, and I was able to keep using all my U shank blades. I was told at a competitor’s store that I would have to go to a pawn shop to buy a jigsaw that accepts U shank blades. I am glad I researched this fact and found it not to be true, as I have a lot of U shank blades. I recommend this product. It’s a keeper.

Great tool
Would RecommendWould have given 5 stars but box only came with bi-metal blade; no wood blade. Bought a set of blades. Tool is very easy to use and cuts great. The light helps keep you on track.
