The economics are laughably bad. Someone needs to turbo slap the person that thought this design was a good idea. I didn’t even get this tool to the work piece, and I already returned it.

Excellent jigsaw to have for any project. Very powerful, but easy to maneuver for those precision cuts. Excellent for detail work.

The good: Powerful Accurate Easy blade change Well balanced The Bad: Not a whole lot other than it can eat up batteries pretty quick but that's expected with a tool that is as powerful as this one. Review: I recently purchase this machine to go ahead and cut intricate letters for wooden signs that I have been working on for my fiance. First off I'll say that this tool has lived up to everything I have wanted it to and more is extremely easy to use and functions very well The locking mechanism that allows it to cut a bevel is great. It will lock and a 90 degree position and also a 45 degree position which allows you to take the guesswork out of your settings. Also the balance of the barrel grip model is tremendous when scroll cutting I have recently scroll cut block cursive lettering and it is done everything that I have asked it to. The only issue I have and it's not even a bad one is that it does tend to eat up batteries I use a 6 amp battery and get about 45 minutes of use out of it which isn't bad especially if you keep another battery on backup and rotate them on the charger then you don't have any issues. I would recommend this to anybody that's wanting to do detailed scroll cuts.

I absolutely love this jigsaw! A little heavy, but well balanced. So, its easy to maneuver for precise cuts. Only con, I wish it was a bit quieter and it should've come with a screw for a guide. Kind of weird that you have to purchase the screw separately.
