Take the power of an electric jigsaw anywhere you need. These saws use narrower blades than reciprocating saws to make more precise, complex cuts. Because of this, they’re often used to cut custom shapes out of wood or sheet metal. As you move these saws across your material, the removable shoe cover protects your work surface from scratches. All have a dust blower that clears away sawdust and metal shavings, keeping your cut line visible.

Equipped with speed control, these saws let you adjust the blade speed to the material you’re cutting. Slow down the blade for hard materials like metal, or speed it up for softer materials like wood. The higher the voltage, the less likely the saw will stall in thick, hard materials.

Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For other saws, batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Bosch saws with Bluetooth connect to a free mobile app, Bosch Toolbox. From the app, adjust the speed and check if the saw is overheating.

Makita saws have the highest voltage, cutting up to 20% faster than 18V DC jigsaws. They begin at a slow speed to improve control and prevent the blade from jerking, then ramp up.

Milwaukee saws have a port for a dust collector to suck up debris from your work area and keep the air clean.

Straight-grip saws position your hand close to the cutting surface. This gives you more precise control and better visibility of your cut line. The grip also makes it easier to cut upside down.
