6 Amp Corded Jig Saw- JS314901

Great jigsaw! My 1985 jigsaw broke and this was my replacement. Saw is a HUGE upgrade. It’s powerful, speed is adjustable and it takes BOTH U-shank and T-shank blades. Even better it changes blades without the need for tools. Quick and awesome. The light works great and is a bonus. Great saw at a great price. I expect it to last for years to come, even with heavy use. It is sturdy and well built.

Best jigsaw I've owned. Great product for the price. The halo light helps a lot. I've used it to cut a pot of different stuff, has held up good to some decent abuse.

A great jig saw! The speed control is amazing and in a great location, the reciprocating adjuster works great for their recommended application. Although I have just used it on plastics, it works perfectly! The led light makes seeing the cut amazing. The blade quick release works great. I also like the fact it's 6 amp rated. The size fits my hand perfectly and the two finder trigger is nice. It also has a button to keep the trigger on to make long cuts. It also has the option to turn on or off the "dust blowing" function. This was a great purchase.

I've used this jigsaw (the replacement I got, not the first one I ordered), and it is a satisfactory saw, so I'm giving the product 4 stars... It is sold by Amazon which means I can't rate the seller, which is a shame because this was one of the most shockingly bad experiences with a seller I've had: my 25 year old jigsaw died during a project. Ordered this. The first one that showed up looked like it had served 2 tours in the Vietnam war and then had been used daily since. Extremely beat up and worn. This was supposed to be new, but they tried to pass off something very, very used. At first they offered 10 dollars off. I refused. I don't want 10 dollars off something that looks like it might not survive its first use! Insisted on a replacement, which delayed my project significantly. Given the state of box I suspect the 2nd one had been opened and returned too but it looked like it was in "new" condition, and came with blades that had been missing from the 1st one, so I kept it and have been using it. Decent saw, just don't recommend buying it from Amazon given that they are trying to sell used saws as new.

An addition to my corded tool collection, while cordless is easier to deploy, you can't beat corded tools from performance and long life, no batteries to change or charge or forget. My truck has two sets of power tools one corded along with a Jackery 1500 if their is no power on the job site. Small jobs get the M12, larger ones get the Dewalt XR tools and big jobs get the corded or air power tools depending on the size of the job. Full renovation with a crew make a compressor and air tools worth the effort, smaller jobs where we're in and out every day, the cordless tools come and go with us. No tool is ideal for everything. They all have their places. This cuts well, changes blades easily and has all the features we need.

Skil may or may not have long term durability if you're a contractor beating on them every day, but for the average homeowner or DIY'r they offer insane value

I recently upgraded from my old Skil jigsaw to this newer model, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. One of the best features is that it accepts both T-shank and U-shank blades, which meant I could continue using the large collection of U-shank blades I already owned. I was actually told at a competitor’s store that I’d have to find an old jigsaw at a pawn shop if I wanted to keep using U-shank blades, but I’m glad I did my own research and discovered that wasn’t true. This jigsaw cuts through a 2x4 effortlessly, and the built-in light makes it easy to see your cut line even in dim conditions. Changing blades is quick and simple, and the tool feels powerful and well-balanced in hand. Overall, I highly recommend this Skil jigsaw to anyone in need of a reliable, versatile saw. It’s a solid performer and definitely a keeper.

I've been using these jig saw for quit some time now, and decided to finally review it after I've become familiar with it. My take on it is that this is a solid, accurate product. Not a lot of frills, but gets the job done well. It's relatively light in the hand, moves easily, does straight cuts as well as curves well, and is surprisingly quiet. I would recommend.

Buena herramienta, con varias opciones de funcionamiento, pude cortar hasta un barrote de 8 cm. con una segueta larga. Bonita la máquina a muy buen precio.

I like to do lots of research before buying something. I needed a jigsaw to cut a hole for a cat door so I started reading about jigsaws..and reading..and reading. Since this is a first time purchase of this kind of power tool I wanted my decision to be the right one. I don’t need an expensive contractor grade tool that I’ll use maybe a few times a year but I wanted something that won’t fall apart after a couple of uses. This one checked all the boxes. It’s powerful (6 amps), sturdy but not overly heavy, and it has a light. And the price was right. And it’s made by Skil who’ve been in business forever. It was delivered within three days of purchase. I was able to cut a perfectly curved hole and installed the cat door all in about an hour. Boy, was that easy! Thanks to Skil for making a quality power tool that I feel confident about using again and again.

Perfect. Delivery was as advertised. Quality was as expected. Works like a charm a good replacement for my Mikiata

La caladora la pedí el día martes y llego el día sábado. Llego en excelente estado incluso la caja. Todo sin detalles y parece de buena calidad. El motor suena bien, fino y potente. La luz led es bastante brillante. NOTAS: Tiene arranque suave sólo en la velocidad mas baja, la velocidad no se puede controlar con el gatillo (sólo es un interruptor), tiene que ser con la rueda de velocidades. No incluye guía de corte paralela, aunque tiene la entrada en la zapata para una, habría que hacer barrenos para adaptar también los tornillos de ajuste. Así que no creo que esté pensada para usar con guía de este tipo. Sin entrada de absorción de polvo para aspiradora. Aunque tiene un botón para desviar el aire hacia enfrente (modo soplador) para despejar el polvo y dejar ver la dirección del corte. Considera esto antes de comprar para saber si se adapta a tu modo de trabajo. A mi en lo personal me parece una buena herramienta, de buen tamaño (no muy grande) pero pesada y robusta. Recomiendo!

Por el momento le daré 4 estrellas pues la he usado varias veces en las últimas 3 semanas. De excelente calidad, muy sólida y corta super bien maderas muy duras (uso seguetas Bosh). El único inconveniente es que se calienta mucho con poco uso, inclusive echa aire muy caliente después de pocos minutos. Espero que no se descomponga por sobre calentamiento a pesar que la dejo descansar.
