Customers overwhelmingly praise this jigsaw for its powerful 6-amp motor, cutting precision, and exceptional value. Most highlight clean, accurate cuts through 2x4s and hardwood laminate, with variable speed and orbital settings enabling smooth curves without vibration. The no-tool blade changes, LED halo light, dust blower, and ergonomic grips are frequently praised as user-friendly features. Reviewers consistently note outstanding value compared to alternatives and express strong confidence in reliability and warranty. A few report rare issues like premature failure or trigger heat during extended use, but these are vastly outweighed by positive experiences.

Why did I wait so long to upgrade?

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.

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.
