Best Jig Saws of 2025

"I used this for a wood fence project and found it very easy to handle with plenty of power! It came with all the necessities as advertised, and the price was solid! I wouldn’t recommend spending more on name brands."

"As a first-time user, I was skeptical given the price, but this jigsaw aced the project! It was super smooth to work with. I even expanded my remodel to include a new laminate floor. I am super pleased with this tool!"

"I was glad to find this jigsaw to replace my old one. It had the most features at a very good price point. The sawdust blower worked well and the halo light illuminated the cut area effectively. Overall, it feels sturdy, though changing the blade was somewhat difficult."

"I needed a cutting tool while rebuilding our front steps. This jigsaw arrived quickly and has many features I appreciate. Blade installation is simple and the variable speeds allow me to adjust for different tasks. The LED guide light makes cutting in a straight line easy. After several days of use, I find the build quality excellent. However, I wish it came with more than just two blades for major projects."

"I bought this saw even though I didn't really need it, as I have two old saber/jig saws. I was impressed by its substantial feel and the many features for the price. It cuts through white oak like butter and is significantly faster than my older models. I would rate this as a 5-star product for its value!"

"I wasn't expecting much for $30, but this jigsaw surprised me with its overall build quality and features. The rubberized handle is comfortable, and it has plenty of power for hardwoods. The laser and light work well together, and the blower feature does a great job clearing dust. So far, I'm happy with my purchase."

"I recently used the Hammerhead 4.8-Amp 3/4 Inch Jig Saw for my DIY projects, and it exceeded my expectations. The powerful motor handled everything from thin plywood to thicker hardwoods with ease. The variable speed control allowed me to make precise cuts, and the ergonomic design meant I could work for long periods without discomfort. Overall, I highly recommend it!"

"Using this jigsaw to build a custom desk was a breeze. It provided smooth, accurate cuts and the adjustable speed settings gave me full control over my project. Plus, the comfortable grip made handling it easy, even during longer sessions. I would definitely recommend this jigsaw to anyone looking for a reliable tool!"

"My experience with the jigsaw powertool on my bathroom tile was outstanding. Its versatility allowed me to cut through various tile types with precision. The variable speed control ensured each cut was clean, and the safety features added peace of mind while I worked. I was so impressed that I already recommended it to a family member!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this little powerhouse. As a retired home builder, I expected little for $30, but it performed exceptionally well. It accepted the blades nicely and was small enough to make intricate cuts. Unbelievable value!"

"When I bought this, I had no idea it would help me with a stripped screw. After trying everything else, I grabbed my new jigsaw and gave it a shot. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! I couldn't be happier with this purchase, even if it only came with one blade. Perfect for small DIY projects!"

"I recently needed a jigsaw for some plywood circles and decided to try this Black & Decker model. It's lightweight, holds the blade tightly, and does everything I need. I am extremely satisfied and have even replaced my circular saw in some situations. Highly recommended!"

"This is the nicest jig saw I've ever owned. The weight is good and it's easy to control with multiple speed settings. The trigger control is really good, and setting angles is a breeze. Loading and removing blades is also easy. With the correct size batteries, it really balances out well."

"I absolutely love this jig saw! It's much more lightweight than my old corded DeWalt, yet it has excellent power. The grip is more comfortable, and blade replacement is so simple—just push a button! I would highly recommend this tool!"

"Using this jigsaw has been a surprising delight. The ease of operation and speed when cutting heavy materials is impressive. I wasn't sure about the value initially, but it has exceeded my expectations. I can confidently say this tool will last for years!"

“This tool is awesome! It works exactly as advertised, and you really can't beat Makita quality. It cuts like a hot knife through butter and is easy to use. Sure, it may feel a bit heavy at first if you're not used to battery-powered tools, but I got accustomed to it quickly. The trigger control is smooth, and the lighted work surface is a great feature for dark areas. Blade interchange is super simple; you just flip a tab with your finger and insert the blade. I noticed some negative comments about the clear plastic blade guard, but honestly, if it breaks, it's not needed! I use tools daily, and this jigsaw is an incredible addition to my collection.”

“I feel like I got a great bargain with this jigsaw. It feels solid and maintains a consistent speed. There are four cutting action levels, and it even comes with a base cover plate for fine materials and an anti-splinter device near the blade. It's a fine tool for anyone who knows how to use it well!”

“I own several Makita 18v LXT tools, and at under $150, I couldn't resist adding this jigsaw to my arsenal. Now I’m questioning why I waited so long! I've used many 110v jigsaws over the years, and they were all noisy and vibrated a lot, making accurate cutting difficult. This saw is completely different! Just plug in an 18v battery, and you're ready to cut. It has a quick release lever for easy blade mounting and lets you switch between cutting modes effortlessly. It's easy to handle, accurate, and quiet—a perfect addition to my tool bag without the hassle of a power cord.”

“This is my first experience with a jigsaw, and I found it excellent! The effortless blade change and the guide-piece that kept the blade steady made for perfectly accurate cuts. I was impressed with the durability of the tool and would recommend it without hesitation.”

“I replaced my old 30-year-old saw with this one, and it's a perfect replacement. It's easy to use and cuts great, but I did have to buy new quick-release blades since my old ones won’t fit.”

“I knew this jigsaw was basic when I bought it, but it works great for my needs. It's handy for casual DIY projects.”

"I've used many jigsaws before, including other Craftsman models, and this one is by far the best for the money. I believe it will last me about 10-15 years. The safety features are excellent and don't hinder my work!"

"As someone who doesn't use a jigsaw often, I found this model to be effective for any job, big or small. It has a comfortable grip and changing blades is super easy!"

"I purchased this jigsaw as a beginner based on good references and its price. I'm honestly very satisfied with its performance. It works well for my projects, and although I'm not perfect yet, I can see improvement with practice. Overall, the cost-quality ratio is excellent!"

"As a new homeowner, I've started my DIY journey. I appreciate how my Ryobi drill and jigsaw share the same 18V batteries, making my tool collection more affordable. The jigsaw cuts well, is sturdy, and easy to adjust. Based on my positive experience, I will prioritize Ryobi for future purchases."

"I decided to buy this jigsaw to complement my existing One+ battery from an old weed eater. The price was excellent without the battery and charger. This saw has great cutting power and features variable speed. Although it feels a bit bulky when the battery is in, it’s not an issue since I'm usually using it on a flat surface. Despite a few blade compatibility concerns, this has become my go-to jigsaw."

"After using my old corded jigsaw for years, I found the Ryobi model on sale and decided to standardize my tools with this brand. I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. It has good power and feels very ergonomic. I'm really enjoying using this jigsaw and would highly recommend it to others!"

"I inherited a jigsaw from my father, and after it finally quit, I decided to invest in a high-quality tool. I chose Bosch based on my experience with their other products. This jigsaw is well-constructed, weighs about 10 pounds, and feels great in my hands. The tool-free blade design is a breeze, and the strong footplate provides excellent stability. With variable speed and orbital settings, I can cut through dense hardwoods smoothly. I believe the circle cutting attachment should be included, but overall, this jigsaw is fantastic and definitely worth the investment."

"After struggling with my old Craftsman, I ordered this jigsaw and it arrived in just two days. From the first cut, I realized I made the right choice. The fit and finish are excellent, and the tool-less blade attachment is a great feature. The cuts are clean and smooth, requiring minimal sanding. I'm also impressed by how quiet and smooth it operates. This is my second Bosch tool, and I'm really pleased with both of them."

"This is by far the best jigsaw I’ve ever used. It has power to spare and cuts accurately through various types of wood, including hard maple and black walnut. While the price is a bit higher than others, it's completely worth it. Trusting your tools is essential for any carpenter, and I can certainly rely on the Bosch JS470E."
