The jigsaw is one of those tools, where when you need one, you need one and there really are no other safe, or reasonable alternatives. Saw this one on sale for a great price and am totally happy with what I bought.

br /The laser guide is very handy, saw operates smoothly in all settings. It's very easy to change mode of operation by the click of well labeled and easy to access switches. Haven't had occasion to use the scrolling facility as yet, but for everything from cutting out holes in countertops, shaping both treated and untreated pine lumber to cutting down metal shelving parts, it's performed like a champion.

br /Tooless blade changing is very nice and you know when the blade is seated correctly before you ever turn the saw on. Also accepts a wide selection of manufacturers blades, which allows you to shop around and save money easily.

This is a pretty nifty jigsaw for home use. The laser guide really helps when cutting straight lines. We've already used it several times, so far, so good.
