 You get what you pay for September 7, 2010
Anthony W.
This jigsaw is on the pricey side, but well worth it. So far it cuts like a knife through butter for particle board. It runs so much smoother than the old $20 Black and Decker I use to use. I can move the saw through the cut much faster than I'm use to as well. It's like a whole new experience. Gotta pay to play.

Highly Recommended! Awesome Saw. July 9, 2010

Perfect weight, comfortable, cuts smoothly and with easy control, lights area of cut and blows chips away. Even takes the 1.5 batteries. I really like this saw and feel it is the best I have used. Comes with 3 sets (6) of popular type tang blades.
Update 7-11-10: This saw could not be better. It works with a lot of power with the 1.5 amp batteries, though mine from my drill/hammer set fit very tightly and were difficult to remove; just tight electrical clips for good contact that will likely loosen in time. Cuts plywood like it is butter and scrolls nicely without a cord. Well balanced.
UPDATE 7-29-10: UPDATE: Still excellent! A note about the 1.5 amp (smaller) battery: it fits with a little force, and takes a little force to remove if the unit is unaltered. However, if you like the tool and will be keeping it, turn the tool over and note the small plastic bump on the left side of where the battery is inserted; inside the start of the slide. It blocks/resists the use of the 1.5 battery; just cut part or all of it off with a sharp knife and the battery fits and removes with ease. If you have a drill/driver that takes the smaller battery you will notice no little bump where the battery slides in. Simple modification, just don't expect the 1.5 to last as long as the 3.0, in usage time or lifetime of the battery.

I built the interior of a log cabin in Vermont this past summer. Did it all with just the 18 volt battery powered tools from Makita like this Jig saw. They all worked perfectly. They may not be the cheapest tools but they certainly are one of the best. This Jig Saw is solid and powerful and the battery last longer than it takes to charge one up.
