BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw, 5-Amp, 3,000 Blade Speed, 45 Degree Beveled Cuts, ¾-Inch Orbital Blade, 4 Curve Settings, Corded (BDEJS600C)

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.

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.

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.

This is a nice handheld jigsaw. The size is great for my smaller hands and is easy to use. It has a nice thick cord. The only downside is that it didn’t come with different thickness of blades. Being new to jigsaws, I didn’t realize you needed different sizes for different kinds of wood. Now that I know, I will have to try out the other blades that I purchased separately.

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!

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.

Does exceptionally well going through tight curves
