I am already invested in the 12v Milwaukee system with a cordless drill and saws-all. This is a great addition to my toolbox. The smaller 12v battery from the drill powers the jigsaw fine, plenty of speed and power. But I only had a few cuts to make for a craft project so I do not know how long the smaller battery will power the jigsaw. It was fine for several simple cuts through pressed board. I took off one star because it is hard to see a line when sawing because of sawdust buildup on the clear plastic foot. There is a center indicator on the clear foot in front of the blade but it’s ~1/4″ ahead so not every useful when making curved or precision cuts. Feels well made and balanced and should last years. I did not try to angle the foot, or use different blades, or cut plastics or metal yet.

Great, easy to use tool. Adjustable speed makes this great to use in many situations.

Great little saw with plenty of power! Used it to cut several outlet box openings in 16ga sheet metal with 3.0Ah battery and the smaller size was a plus.

Is perfect for small projects were you don’t have to have an extension cord

It works well but didn’t come with a battery.

This is a great, portable light-duty jigsaw. I’ve had it for a couple of months and done a few projects with it (a little bookshelf, squatty potties, wall hanging). I found that it’s pretty easy to control, tracks straight, good blade. I wouldn’t use this on thicker lumber – a 2×4 would stretch the limits of its capability – but great for smaller jobs and highly portable. Bonus is that it is compatible with my other M12 tools. Aside from not being ideal for heavier duty jobs, the biggest drawback to this is the lack of a blower. A lot of sawdust builds up when cutting making it more difficult to track straight. You have to be pretty confident in following the arrow marker on the front of the tool, as the sawdust builds up on and around the base when cutting. If you have reasonable expectations about what you’re getting, it’s a great tool.
