Customer Reviews
Just received mine two days after ordering it. Obviously, it's still available so disregard the previous review indicating that it was discontinued or sold out. Not the case! Speaking of which, it would have been nice if this tool included one. Even so, this is a nice addition to the Firestorm series. The unit seems well constructed with a metal guide plate. The jigsaw blades are easily changed with the quick-release style and three can be stored in the integrated case/holder. I'm a big fan of having one battery type for multiple tools and not having to deal with multiple chargers and formats. 18V seems to be quite adequate for most household jobs.
I bought this jigsaw to replace the best little jigsaw, the Ryobi Hybrid Saw(discontinued), which sadly broke in the middle of a job. There is certainly no comparison between the two products.
My observations regarding this saw. I liked how it cut. It cut quick, it cut accurate. Sadly, I wasn't able to attach the vacuum connector to it since it didn't fit any of my vacuum's. I like the blade compartment on the side which holds three extra blades.
I do have a few issues with this saw though. The first is the safety. It's incredibly difficult to squeeze that and squeeze the trigger. Granted, they have the safety accesible on both sides which was a smart move. I have large hands, so it's odd that it was difficult.
Another complaint is the weight of this. This is a heavy unit, even without the battery!
And finally because of the weight and the trigger safety, it is really difficult to make precision cuts. That is, unless you have another person holding a vacuum for you. I used this to cut a circle in one piece of laminate flooring. Took me two pieces to get it acceptable, which is not an issue with that Ryobi. That's okay though, since I will put something over that to hide the access.
