Skil PWRCORE 20-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 7/8 in. Stroke Length Jigsaw Kit

Live it I’m going to start cutting shappes in everything

This cordless saw is quite handy. Without being tethered by a cord, I can cut more easily in difficult locations. I also like the trigger-controlled variable speed and the tool-less blade quick change.

The PWRCore 20 Brushless jig saw is a powerhouse of a saw that has all the features you’d expect and a solid battery platform to back it up. I was very impressed by this saw!For starters it is incredibly comfortable in the hand. The handle and variable speed trigger are well built and comfortable. The tool is hefty but not heavy and when combined with the battery it weighs in at about 5 lbs. Not too heavy but enough heft to keep it from shaking off the workpiece!The PWRCore 20 combined with the PWRJUMP charger give this tool it’s soul. These PWRCore batteries are a pleasant surprise. They bring plenty of punch to allow you to get through whatever you’re cutting plus you can easily throw them on to the charger and in 5 minutes gain 25% of the battery charge! Combine all of that with the fact that each one carries a USB port in the back to charge your phone or other USB powered devices and you have a winning battery platform in my opinion!The saw itself features a dust blower to keep your work surface free of dust and allow you to see your cut line. You can turn this on/off using a toggle switch on the side and I found it to work great! On the opposite side from the dust blower there is a 3 level switch to change the orbital action of the saw. I found the three levels to be spot on as I frequently change this setting depending on the material I am cutting. Zero for a fine, clean cut on up to 3 for a rougher, quicker cut or when you are cutting with the grain.The blade tool-less holder makes changing the blade a breeze and this saw will accept commonly available T and U shank blades. I did not have any trouble using any of the blades I had in my shop.The LED light illuminates the work surface well and I find this to be incredibly helpful regardless of the lighting in the room. The LED with it’s bright white light brings out the cut line and allows me to stay on track. There is a lock-out switch on top that allows you to lock the trigger in the off position (not on).Adjusting the bevel foot is pretty standard and there is a lever at the back of the saw that allows you to loosen/tighten the foot. I found the foot to stay put well after repeated use and changing and I can’t say the same for other jig saws I’ve owned. This mechanism seems to be pretty well thought out.Overall this is a solid contender for any DIYer on up to some professionals in the field. Skil offers a large variety of cordless tools in their 20v line up and this saw is the second tool I’ve owned (see my review of the 20v brushless sander). I will definitely be adding more tools to my collection soon!

Pleasant Surprise, does the job with no cord to get in the way.

This saw runs smooth & fairly quiet. The halo led light is is GREAT! Cuts good & true & well balanced. I’ve used a jigsaw for over 55 years and I don’t think this one could be beat for the price. Much better than the older saws I have owned. I really like the quick no tool blade changes on the new saws as well. Great warranty too!

It works great & versatile, except a little heavy. Overall I’m very satisfied.

Does exactly what I bought if for.It works great and have done cutting that could be done with any other type of saw.Very please with it.Highly recommend the Skil Saw.
