Cordless jig saw

Why We Chose It

This BLACK+DECKER jigsaw is the peak of mediocrity, priced just right for those who think spending more might actually buy them skills. It does the job, mostly. With a 2,500 rpm variable-speed trigger, it sounds like a race car but moves like a tricycle. The tool-free blade change is perfect for the impatient or tool-averse. You can pretend you're crafting a masterpiece, even if it's a birdhouse that resembles modern art. The 45-degree bevel shoe is for those who think they're edgy but really just need to cut at an angle. The built-in dust blower will keep your workspace as clean as your dreams of being a master carpenter. The interchangeable battery system lets you swap batteries like a desperate phone user at a concert, but don’t expect one to be included. It is a 'tool only' package, which is code for 'go buy the battery'.

What It Does

• Cuts like a caffeinated tortoise.
• Blade changes faster than a toddler's mood.
• Bevels like it means it.
• Blows dust away like a weak sneeze.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't include the battery. It's lonely.
• Doesn't make you measure twice.
• Won't build your IKEA furniture.
• Doesn't come with a sawdust fairy.

Who It's For

Meet Bob, the weekend warrior who believes his garage is a workshop. He loves the idea of a cordless tool, mostly because he trips over cords. Then there's Jill, the amateur artist who thinks jigsaw puzzles are practice for jigsaw cuts. She'll appreciate the clear line of sight, even if her art is abstract. Finally, there's Greg, the reluctant DIYer who was voluntold into home improvement. He'll use the BLACK+DECKER to prove his worth, or at least, not get yelled at for not trying.
