Customer Reviews for WEN 6.6 Amp Variable Speed Orbital Jigsaw with Laser

Amazing power for the price. Does 5 types of cutting. Also you can use the light and level beam in areas not well lit. Great Product!!!!

THIS IS A DEAL! I bought this to replace my B&D orbital varispeed jigsaw that the speed control died and the saw quit. Everything on this WEN seems more robust and the laser guide and "soft-start" feature are nice upgrades over the old B&D tool. As I recall, I paid more for the B&D saw years ago, so there's that plus, too!

Great tool for the price. Worked as expected and instructions were easy to follow. Did a great job for the project that I was working on.

Picked this up to replace a craftsman that died mid project. For a 40 buck jigsaw it has impressed me. The speed control works great, the angle stays locked in and the light/laser combo works great. My only gripe abut this saw is that the dust extractor is pretty much useless. Mind you this is a plastic saw so its lighter but doesn't feel as substantial as say the old metal craftsman.

Very good saw with a lot of options to be used by beginners and professionals

This saw was easy to use and created excellent rounded corners.

The wen jig saw was surprisingly sturdy and cut precise cuts wasn’t sure how it would be knowing that I haven’t heard of this company before but I’m pleasantly surprised and would buy wen Products in the future I definitely would rate this as an excellent I would recommend to friends and family

Does exactly what a jigsaw is supposed to do and works like any other more expensive brand on the market. I was hesitant to buy at first but the hesitation went away from the very first time to the now multiple times I’ve used it! Not sure on the customer service because I haven’t needed it. Overall, it’s a great tool to have without the stupidity of name brand overpricing.

Handles great Laser makes it easier to cut a straight line. Blade changes easy. Happy that I purchased this.

Absolutely perfect. I love it

Performed well and blade installation is very simple. Like speed control. Meets my needs well! I would recommend this tool. It is a great value for the price.

Best saw for your money.

Lots of features for the money. Works great.

WEN 6.6 Amp Variable Speed Orbital Jigsaw with Laser - great features but variable speed control on two consecutive purchases, more than a month apart had the same issue - i.e., not a fluke. The variable speed feature is controlled with a wheel marked 1 through 6. Speed range from 0 to 3300 spm (strokes per minute). First use (both machines) started up smoothly however as the speed selector was increased slowly, shortly after reaching the 2 setting, the saw began a surging behavior, increasing speed dramatically and then acting as if the power was suddenly cut off. As saw started to slow the power would kick back on with a jerk as torque was applied and the cycle would continue as long as the power button (trigger) was on. It continued to run in this cyclic fashion and became more erratic. Ultimately, as I dialed the speed wheel back down, the machine was not responding to the speed control at all until trigger release. I cannot recommend this machine and suggest that this jigsaw may present a safety hazard due to the jerking behavior. I have reached out to Wen and to date they have not responded to me other than to give me a ticket number.

Easy to use right out of the box

Very very good all features work great i recommend this tool highly

This saw performed flawlessly. No assembly was required other than blade attachment. The laser and LED light is a plus. The fact that I can saw through 4" thick lumber is a real premium feature. I highly recommend this product. Thank you!

This product works surprisingly well over par I would say. This product was 20 to 30% cheaper than other name brands. I didn’t want to spend too much on a jigsaw because I knew I wouldn’t use it very much I just need it for some small jobs around the house. This product was so much cheaper than the other brand means I didn’t expect it to perform well however it did a good job it was well worth the price

its a little heavy other then that I like it

Good quality for the price. Laser works well.

I was blown away by the power this little saw has. Tears through a 2X4 like butter.

Very nice and heavy saw

Very good value. Will do everything I need for home projects.

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.
