Serious Tool - a real workhorse and a pleasure to use
By D. Trust
I thought about giving this 4 stars, but only because of the cheaply designed plastic zero clearance insert. I decided that wasn't worth taking off an entire star, so the five stars.
Likes:
blade changes - any easier and Dewalt would have had to supply you with a personal valet to change the blades for you. Just practice a few minutes to get the feel of when the blade is in the correct position and you're good to go. I may be making even more of that than it is by saying to practice. It's really simple.
Power: could not tell the difference between this and a corded Bosch I had for years. Cut thru 2" thick Purpleheart almost as easily as 1" plywood. Of course, this has a lot to do with the blade, but if you're wondering about the battery power, it's not an issue at all.
weight: as far as I can tell, weighs no more than my old corded one.
vibration: so little as to be insignificant.
blade brake: the blade stops moving the instant you let go of the trigger, I mean instantly - zero delay
dust blower: this actually works!. It does keep the cut line clean. My old (other brand) one supposedly had a blower, but it did nothing.
cut quality: now this has more to do with the blade than the jigsaw, but at least this saw doesn't get in the way of a good blade.
case: comes with a very nice sturdy case. not so much of an issue for a homeowner, but if you're a contractor, I suppose this would help to protect it between jobs.
CONS:
zero clearance insert: basically, it's a joke. Come on Dewalt, you can do better. Add $10 to the cost if you have to, but make a ZCI that is worth putting on the saw.
price: yea, it's a bit pricey if you don't already have one of the 20 volt LI-ION batteries and charger, but that's the price you pay for this kind of convenience (pun intended).
So, looks to me the good far outweighs the bad here, In the immortal words of Dennis Miller "That's my opinion, I could be wrong"
