After paying almost this much for a used unit which turned out to be a rip off; This is the best saw of its type I have used in my 78 years. Black and Decker has a winner. This is a well built unit with all the features you could want. I have cut up ,down and sideways and it has worked fine.

Ergonomically, the BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw is very user-friendly. The handle is comfortable and well-designed, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The tool feels balanced and sturdy, which enhances control and accuracy while cutting. The included blade change mechanism is quick and convenient, making it simple to switch blades as needed. The 45-degree bevel cutting capability is another highlight. It allows for accurate angled cuts, which is perfect for making beveled edges and complex joints.

This is a very decent unit at a very good price. I can't compare this to any other Jig Saw as the only one I had used was my father in laws old 2.5 amp craftsman that could barely cut through butter. My review is based on my expectations and the saws performance.The saw does have a quick attach blade system where you simply pull down the front lever and insert the blade. I found T blade and U blade and the old style craftsman (U with a hole) all worked and stayed in place.The shoe is not the best but for the money it is fine. Mine was not 100% true at zero and it is not easily adjusted. The shoe uses preset slots to determine 0 degree and 45 degree etc. You can't slide it around to find any particular angle and lock it in that position. Not a deal breaker for me as I only use the jog saw for 0 or 90 degree flat cuts.I was surprised to find a dust collection port on back. It really is just a hole for a vacuum attachment and in the front is a small half hole type area that is supposed to suck up the dust. However I find that the dust all blows forward and to the right based on the moor exhaust so I didn't really see much difference when I used it with or without the vacuum. Nice try but not really that functional.The cut speed was fine for what I did. I was cutting pressure treated 1x stock that was moist as usual when brought home from the big box store. I used my blades and put it on high speed and had no issue at all.There is no trigger guard or protection. Once plugged in you touch the trigger and it goes. You need to be careful. Several times I picked it up and not meaning to "turn it on" it started up. Be careful.I tried a left handed cut based on how my wood was in my clamp. All the exhaust from the motor blew in my eyes along with all the dust. Even with my safety glasses I git a face full. You can't direct the flow like you can with some air tools. That would be nice but then the price of this unit would go up. Not a complaint just some info to share for any lefties.All in all I would recommend the jig saw. I think I got what I paid for and saved a ton of money compared to other 5 amp or more units.

Other reviews have covered the many good points of this saw. Here’s a different positive.Moved and didn’t have large power tools at the location yet. Pruned oak trees and needed to cut larger parts of the limbs small enough for yard waste pickup. It easily sawed through solid oak limbs about 3 inches in diameter. With just the supplied general purpose blade.Powerful for the price!

Used this to cut the back of an entertainment unit for the wires and a corner shelf to insert wires. So far only small jobs, but it works.

My old POS Black and Decker jigsaw died, and I decided to go with B+D again. I use a jig saw maybe once or twice a year (last year was an exception due to COVID projects), so didn't need an overpriced jigsaw with features I would not really need. I have wanted extra power a few times, so I opted for a model with the orbital and the reciprocating mode, too.I just cut out a cat door in one of my inside doors. After I drilled the pilot holes, it took me just under 60 seconds to cut the entire hole out. It was surprisingly precise and was easy to stay on my ruler marks.Now this was not a heavy wooden door, but it did cut through the MDF and insulation easily. The black plate did leave some dark marks, so maybe an unfinished silver plate surface would have been a better choice.The other thing I wish this had was an LED light or laser...but that's being greedy for the price.I'll try some heavier boards and the orbital speeds, but so far I'm completely satisfied with the purchase and value.
