Don't make my mistake. [Posted on 2005-06-27]
I bought this saw as a compromise between the Makita level saws and the ten dollar junk. I should have spent the extra money and bought a Dewalt, Makita or Hitachi. The power level is ok, but cutting a straight line is a roll of the dice. Even when I use a speed square as a straight edge I get cuts that are not 90 degrees. The other problem is that the base plate will not stay perpendicular to the blade and the wheel to tighten it is in a terrible location and hard to use.

This is without a doubt the worst powertool I have ever bought and I will be replacing it in the next month.

Great value...great price ! [Posted on 2005-08-17]
I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The Js600k ia a quality saw with a low price. Thanks to amazon.com's free standard shipping,the saw is the same price I paid for my (skil) jigsaw I purchased a few years back at a "big box store". Comparing the 2 saws is like comparing a cadillac with a bicycle. Thank you...DW.

Excellent for the price [Posted on 2005-12-25]
I am sure this isn't the best jig saw out there (of course), but it more than meets my needs as a novice do-it-yourselfer. I got the most use out of this when cutting laminate flooring to fit around corners and obstacles. It did an excellent job and I think, for the price, I got exactly what I wanted. Yes, you get what you pay for, but you can take that saying too far. If I were a serious user, than I would agree, but for occassional use, buying a high quality tool would be a waste of money.

Decent first jig saw [Posted on 2007-02-26]
This jig saw is large and tough. It has withstood a lot of use and abuse. The heavy plastic case has been tough enough to withstand a few short drops to the floor. It isn't the easiest to control, but it is a good hobby saw. The power cord is a little short. Overall I would say it is a good value, but it is an "entry" level power tool for the occasional user.

decent for occasional use [Posted on 2007-12-13]
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.
