Best Cordless jig saw – Black+Decker BDCJS20B
Cordless jig saw for DIY warriors with a penchant for precision.
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'."

Best Cordless jig saw – Porter-Cable PCC650B
Cordless jigsaw with quirks and features for the tool-savvy.
Why we chose it:
"This PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX Jig Saw is the unassuming hero in its price range. Not because it’s flawless—far from it—but because it does what you need without charging you a kidney. It’s like your reliable but slightly awkward friend who shows up with a six-pack when you’re having a bad day. The tool-free blade release makes swapping blades a breeze, assuming you’re not prone to losing them in the first place. It clears debris better than a Roomba on steroids, which is handy since seeing what you're cutting tends to be important. With its variable speed trigger, you can pretend you have the precision of a surgeon or at least a competent carpenter. Just remember, the battery and charger are sold separately because, of course, they are. It’s like buying a car and realizing the wheels are extra. A cunning way to keep you on your toes and your wallet a little lighter."

High-End
Best Cordless jig saw – Dewalt DCS334B
Sharp, precise, and versatile, the DEWALT DCS334B jig saw is a pro's best friend.
Why we chose it:
"Why settle for mediocrity when you can have the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Jig Saw? It has a brushless motor, which means more efficiency and longer runtime. Imagine cutting through your projects like a hot knife through butter, minus the drama of overheating. Its compact design makes it as easy to handle as a cup of coffee, ensuring you don't fumble around like a first-time jigsaw user. With a bright LED to illuminate your inevitable mistakes—oops, I mean work surfaces—you won't need to squint in dimly lit areas. And let's not forget the variable speed control, which offers all the precision of a Swiss watch, minus the price tag. The DCS334B is a no-nonsense tool for those who actually know what they're doing—no amateur hour here."

Luxury
Best Cordless jig saw – Dewalt DCS331M1
Cordless jigsaw with 4-position orbital action and variable speed. Versatile and user-friendly for the sarcastically inclined DIY enthusiast.
Why we chose it:
"Why is this overpriced piece of machinery the best choice in its range, you ask? Well, it’s a DEWALT, which means it comes with the privilege of paying for a name. But hold on, there’s more! The 20V MAX Jig Saw, with its unapologetic 4-position orbital action, sneers at the very idea of splintered cuts and botched bevels. It doesn’t just cut; it slices and dices like a gourmet chef with a vendetta against wood. The adjustable dust blower will keep your line of sight clear, because heaven forbid you ever lose sight of your underwhelming DIY masterpiece. A keyless blade change, because who has time to fiddle with keys in this fast-paced world of instant gratification? It’s not just a tool; it’s an experience in pretending to be more competent than you probably are."
