Perhaps the nicest PC cordless tool Ive seen [Posted on 2005-06-27]
I own just about all the PC 19.2v tools. I bought the 643 about a year ago and was immediately impressed with the excellent quality. There is nothing about this tool that is less functional or worse than an top-end corded jigsaw - no compromises were made in making it cordless.
The cuts are clean and accurate, the battery life is actually really good, and the adjustable orbit makes it useful on different materials. The blade really does change out instantly - a nice secure mechanism that works great. The tool has a solid feel and every adjustment is a pleasure to make.
Once you have put one of these in your hands you will want one even if you don't really use a jigsaw that often. It's actually been a much more useful tool than I expected, and being cordless you just tend to reach for it much more often than you would think.
I don't understand why PC is only selling this without a battery, charger, or case; it seems silly not to at least offer the same item with the accessories so that those who are new to PC tools could buy this one first without having to order the other stuff at the same time. Mine did not come with the case either. Lame. If I didn't love the tool so much I'd have to ding them one star for that.
