Excellent DIY’er jigsaw. I’ve use this for a week doing tons of home improvement projects. It won’t be used that often once everything’s done, so I wanted a decent quality saw at the lowest price possible. I believe ratings should not compare cadillacs to neon’s even though they’re both cars. This mid-low priced jigsaw has cut holes in 1/2″ pine wood like butter…get the right blades for every tool/project! At this time the saw only came with a metal cutting blade so spent a couple bucks on a good wood blade. It’s also cut 3″ PVC pipe (while rotating it). I’m a home DIY’er so maybe all jigsaw’s only cut to a 3/4″ depth, but I do wish they’d cut deeper, seems a waste of blade length. I cut the legs off some too-high bar stools by holding the stool with a knee and chest. Likely improper, but it buzzed through the legs on the straight line. Since I’m not a pro, I do not try to rush cuts and maybe that’s the difference in cutting a straight line with this jig.Of course on softer drop ceiling…
