18V Cordless Jig Saw, Tool-Less Blade Change LED, CJ18DAQ4

Had my wife pick up this exact item at Lowe's. Before she made it home, I saw it on Amazon for $40 less. Returned the other one to Lowe's and waited a few days for delivery. It didn't come with batteries, which was stated in the ad, and that was okay with me, because my 18v Hitachi drill batteries worked perfect, since Hitachi manufactures the Metabo tools. Right out of the box, this jigsaw worked flawlessly!! No complaints! This thing cut through 2x10 treated lumber with gusto! I can recommend this jigsaw and if it lasts as long as my Hitachi drill, I would jump for joy!

Pro finish carpenter here. This jigsaw is awesome. I've been using the Bosch jigsaws for decades. This has really impressed me with its power, precision, stability, runtime, and general feel. Plus I got it at only 80 bucks plus tax. Incredible value.

Love the HPT tools, almost all my tools are from this brand and I use them for commercial jobs

works fine but low battery life

I really like this saw. Plenty of power and well built especially for the price.

I choose the 18v w/2500 rpm because I did'nt know what to do with the extra 1000 rpm's on the 36v. Now that I have the 18 in my hand it is solid and the variable trigger gives control that I've never known. It blows away the dust and has a tight arbor that has no wiggle. In oscilation mode the rear roller support oscillates with the blade and gives constant support. The base plate is cast and much stronger than that stamped plate on my old jig that has bent & unbent many times. It has a heft to it and I'm glad I did'nt buy the bigger, heavier, faster, more uncontrollable "super" version. I'd rather go slow and smooth for a long time with a 36 volt in it.

Works exactly as it should. I bought a coping plate to use for coping crown and base and it does well.

Former cabinet maker, current general contractor here. I've used mainly Bosch jigsaws over the past 20 years. When I decided to go cordless, though, I bought this because I already own several Hitachi/Metabo batteries. I'd say the power and accuracy of this saw are comparable to the baseline corded Bosch models. I.e., good enough for most fine woodworking, but don't try cutting dovetails with it. But the performance is very satisfactory for this price point. The only annoying thing is that whenever the blade binds--even a little--the blade falls out. I think this might be a safety feature, or to keep you from bending the blade,but it's annoying, especially when the blade falls on the floor and you have to stop what you're doing and hunt for it.

Good value for the price works with hikoki multivolt battery

I am very happy with this purchase. This is my third Metabo tool, I also have the impact driver and 3 1/4 inch framing stick nailer and have built 4 homes with it.
