6.6 Amp Variable Speed Orbital Jigsaw with Laser

In the 50 years since being a young man and purchasing all kinds and many types of power tools, this is the worst power tool I have ever owned. It's ability to make a perpendicular cut is non-existent. Top of cut on cut line but the exit line off as much as 1/4inch... With that said, there are some positive features such as the lights, dust blower/vacuum exhaust, variable speed and power. But, if it can't make a good cut then it is worthless. Please be sure of what you are trying to accomplish with your projects before selecting this item.

Gets the job done. Easy to use and lightweight.

6.6 AMP VARIABLE SPEED ORBITAL JIGSAW WITH LASER Jigsaws are always challenging for me. They vibrate, and the blades always drift when I use them. However there are times when one is needed. No other tool will do that task as easily. I have a high end jigsaw that cost me around 3 or 4 times the price of this one by WEN. My other one was purchased 10 or so years ago and so does not have the current features. I was anxious to test them side by side and see if I could tell the difference in quality. The short answer is that I could not. My old expensive one is slightly heavier and has just a little more power. But, the truth is that the extra power does not make that much difference to me. When I use a jigsaw, I use it slowly and I take my time. So, the ability to move quickly through the cuts are not an issue for me. I am just trying to stay on the line and cut straight. What I like very much about this WEN jigsaw is the laser which lets me cut in a straight line and I love the blower that moves dust off the line and out of sight. The blower is an option and can be turned on or off. I really like the blade changing mechanism. It is very easy. Much easier than others I have used. A quick flick of the thumb and the blades can be installed or removed. I found that my cuts were just as clean as the expensive one I have. Although this is more a function of the blade than the machine. The product feels rugged to me. It feels like it will last. I say this because I have numerous WEN tools and I have used them pretty aggressively. I have yet to have one break on me. The price on this is excellent and this quality with the price is a deal that can't be beat for a homeowner.

This is a great saw for the price. The saw body is all plastic except for the base and feels good in your hand. There is an led light and laser that can be turned on together or separate. It is variable speed with 6 settings and 4 settings that control the blade movement. There is a dust port and a switch that directs air down at the blade or dust port. When the tool is plugged in there is a green light at the back that lets you know it has power. I would recommend this tool for homeowners and light use.

For the little jobs around the house it works great. The saw has lots of power and cuts good when you let the saw do the work and not push things. It has lots of features as well. I am happy with it.

This saw is above standard. It has features of the high, high dollar saws. I have cut with it, and it performs with no issues. It is worth the money. It far exceeds what I expected.

the first speed started slowly as it should be but after 20 seconds it accelerated automatic to high speed. Another problem is that the blade was not parallel with the base and the cuts made them crooked even if I put a guide, it is a shame since it has light, laser, blower and its 6.6 amp I expected something good, I ended up returning it
