BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw, 5-Amp, 3,000 Blade Speed, 45 Degree Beveled Cuts, ¾-Inch Orbital Blade, 4 Curve Settings, Corded (BDEJS600C)

What more could you want? These are dependable tools that do the job and last a long time.

Extremely easy to use, maneuver, it's lightweight, my tiny girl hands can work this like a pro (ok close lol) after just a few minutes of practice. Cut through like slightly softened butter on very hard to cut vintage wall panel (to expose an old covered window) and my sink cabinet\vanity that was much thicker. My other saws were just too much for these projects and too big to fit into those spaces. This worked perfectly, can't wait to try it out for more crafty projects.

This is a very decent unit at a very good price. I can't compare this to any other Jig Saw as the only one I had used was my father in laws old 2.5 amp craftsman that could barely cut through butter. My review is based on my expectations and the saws performance. The saw does have a quick attach blade system where you simply pull down the front lever and insert the blade. I found T blade and U blade and the old style craftsman (U with a hole) all worked and stayed in place. The shoe is not the best but for the money it is fine. Mine was not 100% true at zero and it is not easily adjusted. The shoe uses preset slots to determine 0 degree and 45 degree etc. You can't slide it around to find any particular angle and lock it in that position. Not a deal breaker for me as I only use the jog saw for 0 or 90 degree flat cuts. I was surprised to find a dust collection port on back. It really is just a hole for a vacuum attachment and in the front is a small half hole type area that is supposed to suck up the dust. However I find that the dust all blows forward and to the right based on the moor exhaust so I didn't really see much difference when I used it with or without the vacuum. Nice try but not really that functional. The cut speed was fine for what I did. I was cutting pressure treated 1x stock that was moist as usual when brought home from the big box store. I used my blades and put it on high speed and had no issue at all. There is no trigger guard or protection. Once plugged in you touch the trigger and it goes. You need to be careful. Several times I picked it up and not meaning to "turn it on" it started up. Be careful. I tried a left handed cut based on how my wood was in my clamp. All the exhaust from the motor blew in my eyes along with all the dust. Even with my safety glasses I git a face full. You can't direct the flow like you can with some air tools. That would be nice but then the price of this unit would go up. Not a complaint just some info to share for any lefties. All in all I would recommend the jig saw. I think I got what I paid for and saved a ton of money compared to other 5 amp or more units.

Can never go wrong with Black & Decker. Very ease saw to use. Very simple blade loading. Nice grip

This thing rocks. For the price, I don't know how you can beat it. I'm a DIY freak sometimes but I'm also cheap as sh!?, so I find myself also looking for a deal. I used this yesterday as part of a "replace a door and door frame and moulding" project. I could not have completed the project without it. I purchased some "T" blades made by Bosch as well. It can rip through the wood in no time off you just push through it, but it's a bit rough. Go slow, let the Rpms work and it's just fine. It ripped down on oversized aluminium doggie door in about 30 seconds, solving yet another unexpected problem mid project as well. I'm very very happy with my little 34$ investment. I know most of these are all China made, I didn't look at this one to be sure, but I like names I know. Black and Decker, along with many others, always find their way into my tool box. If you are wondering if you should do it, wonder no longer. Amazon delivering next day kinda helped too.

I worked for Black and Decker back in the late 60’s , early 70’s. They made a good product then and appear to have continued that tradition.

Im 66 years old and just received it and love it. I immediately used it and everything came out nicely. It’s going to be so nice to have my own jig saw.

i really enjoyed using this tool. i used it to cut out the handle for a knife. tested it on different boards. it cut chip board pretty well on the slow setting. its going to be the work horse of my tiny shop. i live in an apartment, so space and noise are critical. this thing doesn't make more noise than a kitchen aid mixer. i've used jig saws that were a lil wobbly on the guide, this one was rock solid. the blade that came with it was enuf to cut thru a 2x4. i love the vacuum attachment port. only thing i'd add to this would be a way to take the blade off and store it somewhere in or on the guide. i flipped it over, and mounted it to my bench vice and it worked well as a lil table saw. i'm pretty sure that with the right blade, there's not alot that this thing can't do. my only concern would be over heating it from constant use. i would suggest buying a second one for this reason. <3

Works well, takes both types of blade

Not legal for them to sell like this in UK

Sin lugar a dudas es una de las mejores herramientas que he comprado de la marca esa caladora es muy fácil de usar incluso tiene un control de velocidad Uno de los detalles que lo hacen fácil de utilizar es que no necesitas llave para cambiar la segueta con simplemente jalar una palanca y soltarla así de fácil se puede cambiar la segueta Además se ve de una muy buena construcción el plástico se ve que es bueno y tiene un forro antiderrapante que te da confianza a la hora de manipular y trabajar con este Muy buena Aunque había leído que no era de muy buena calidad la que traía Pero la verdad es que resultó mejor que otras que he comprado Es una segueta gruesa por lo que te ayuda hacer cortes rectos sin perder la línea Ya va para dos años que la tengo y he costado triplay, madera de una pulgada de grosor y lámina de aluminio y todo lo ha cordado muy bien En el caso de la lámina me sorprendió lo muy bien que lo hizo Muy buena caladora

For the money this unit has performed above and beyond expectation. Well built, easy to use and much lighter than the 30+ year old unit it replaced. Don’t let the price fool you, this thing performs like the more expensive models making it a good choice for those of us not in the trades but are DIYers and home handymen who use it only every so often. Recommended!

Un aparato realmente muy completo. La he utilizado varias veces con la sierra que trae de stock y realmente funciona de maravilla. Buena potencia, no vibra tanto, buena zapata, admite sierra con zanco en T y en U. El eliminador de polvo funciona muy bien y puedes ver por donde va el corte. No es tan pesada y el corte fluye muy bien. La consegui a un excelente precio en Amazon y vale mucho más de lo que cuesta. Creo que no se le hace justicia a esta marca. He probado otras de más renombre y no son lo máximo para el precio que manejan. El servicio de Amazon excelente, tanto en la entrega, como para resolver mis dudas.
