Negative Positive
Title: decent for occasional use
Review: I bought the jig saw to replace an older B&D jig saw I had before. While it is way better than my old one, it is still a mediocre tool. My worst complaint is the footplate locking knob. It is extremely hard to tighten, and no matter how much I tightened, the base plate can still easily moved, making it very hard to make perfect straight up and down cuts. The vacuum attatchement is also worthless and so is the dust blower. If you need a jig saw that will only get used a few times a year, this is a good buy. If you want something that will cut easliy, stay in alignment, stand up to heavy duty use, and produce great quality cuts do what I did and buy a Bosch.
