Bosch Cordless Jigsaw

Choosing the Best Cordless Jigsaw

A cordless jigsaw is a specialized and expensive piece of eqipment that can help you achieve the most character and most originality in your woodworking projects. Consequently, its vitally important to be sure you are investing in the right one. The following reviews are designed to help you narrow your search for the most complimentary cordless jigsaw for you and your specific needs.

Designed for the most industrial, heavy-duty users, Makita's BJV180 cordless jigsaw is truly one of greatest cordless tools on the market today. With extremely low vibration and extremely low noise level, the tool is comfortable to control while still providing striking accuracy. With four cut-settings (3 orbital and 1 straight), the jigsaw offers the fastest, most efficient and versatile cutting in all applications. Two integrated L.E.D. lights keep your work surfaces bright for always precise results, and blade changes are conveniently easy and quick with a unique tool-less push-in lock sysatem. Additionally, a variable speed trigger enables you to control cut speeds from 0 - 2,600 SPM; this allows for a range of both delicate pattern cutting and aggressive chomping for less intricate applications. Also utilizing Makita's lithium ion technology, the tool and battery combination offers significantly longer run-time and greater overall lifetime work. This jigsaw kit (which includes a blade set, two lithium ion batteries, a charger and much more) ranges in price from about $390 - $430 while just the jigsaw itself (model number: BJV180Z) prices at about $190 - $230. This is more than you'll pay with some other manufacturers, but Makita quality, especially for the most heavy-duty users, is always worth the price.

For lighter-duty users and hobbyists, Bosch's 52318 cordless jigsaw offers all the perks to make you re-fall in love with your jigsaw every time you pick it up. The tool's one-touch blade change system provides ultra fast blade changes ejecting blades simply with the pull of a lever; of course this saves you time, but it also saves your fingers from groping at hot and jagged blades. also, utilizing a three-way grip system for the most optimized blade security and most accurate cutting results, Bosch's patented blade retention system keeps your projects at their most professional level. A large, die-cast aluminum foot provides always stable guidance and reliable precision, and with an included foot cover, delicate and finished surfaces are protected from the scratches or dings of a metal shoe. With variable speeds the tool is ideal for both intricate patterns as well as more aggressive applications, and with an ergonomic design rendering the tool uncommonly simple to use, the jigsaw yields consistently professional results. This tool is a fancy piece of machinery that handles the heavy stuff just as well as it does the light providing a brilliant solution to any craftsman's jigsawing needs. This BJV180 kit (including a battery, charger, blades, and more) ranges in price from about $220 - $240 - you may also purchase the tool on its own (model number: 52318B) for just $150 - $160.

Hitachi's CJ18DL jigsaw offers all the convenience and portable power of a cordless tool at an incredibly good price. For those working with a smaller budget, or craftsmen that simply love a good bargain, this kit (which includes a carrying case, battery, charger, and more)costs only about $215 (the jigsaw itself (model number: CJ18DLP4) costs only about $115 - $130). so essentially, you'll benefit from a strikingly good tool at a surprisingly great price. Utilizing lithium ion technology, the CJ18DL offers extended run-time from reliable power source in a much lighter weight package. The saw additionally offers 4-mode orbital action for the most accurate and efficient cutting, and weighing only 5.5 lbs the tool is smooth and simple to operate. An ergonomic D-handle (with elastomer grip) renders the tool uncommonly manageable, and with an integrated L.E.D. light, your results are ever accurate with brighter cut-lines and work surfaces. Additionally, because the tool is cordless, it is highly portable, and with a universal charger and a tool body compatible with all Hitachi lithium ion, NiCd, and NiMH 18v batteries, the tool is also conveniently versatile. The universal charger charges 7.2v - 18v batteries, and with lithium ion, NiCd and NiMH charging platforms, it ensures your battery arsenal is always fully charged. Lastly, but certainly not least - the tool is covered under Hitachi's 10 year lithium ion tool warranty, a warranty that vastly surpasses any other manufacturer promising that this portable powerhouse will be cutting inside, outside, and everywhere in between for years and years to come.

For heavy-duty users, hobbyists, and craftsmen searching for the best deals, one of these cordless, top-tier jigsaws is certain to be a great fit.
