Power
A 5 Amp motor is responsible for powering the jigsaw and it can run up to 3,000 strokes per minute, which is decent. Come to think of it, that is more than enough for most of the DIY projects. This saw is capable of cutting through almost anything like laminate, wood, aluminum, PVC, and other metals. However, before you go cutting into every type of material, it is important that you have the right blade installed for the job.
Variable Speed
You can adjust the speed according to what you’re using it for – adjusting the speed can be done by depressing the trigger switch.
Changing the Blade
Many times, when it comes to power tools, changing the blade isn’t easy and that is why this jig saw surprised us – when it comes time to change the blades, it can be done without having to hassle with it. All you have to do is press the lever and place the new blade in the clamp and then you’re done.
Design
We feel the size is just right – it’s not too big and not too small and the D-shaped handle makes it easy to hold. It offers some vibration absorption, which is good if you plan on using it for a prolonged period of time.
It’s not all that heavy and feels well balanced and sturdy. It’s solid enough to use for hours on end, without worrying about it.
Simply by adjusting the shoe, you will be able to make some pretty good bevel cuts.
Dust Collection
We find the dust collection feature pretty interesting. This tool has a slot that will allow you to attach a vacuum hose to get rid of the dust.
