Skipper insisted that we buy a new jig saw to go with our DeWALT 20V batteries, so we picked up the DeWALT DCS334B brushless model. We have been wanting a cordless jig saw for a while, ever since we noticed that the cord is always getting in the way and the cord also likes to find the gap on the edge of the plywood where the cut was made, and always snags there. Maybe I could learn better cord management, but for me it was time to try the cordless model. If you are interested in one, be sure to get the brushless model, the motor uses less power which means more torque for the tool and less draw on the battery for longer run times.
First cut was the repair patch for our 1953 Alcort Sunfish ZIP. The LED light was great and the dust blower was even better, I can't believe we went this long without one. It is amazing how much easier and safer it is to cut when we can see the line and not have to brush off sawdust. And there was no cord to get caught and jiggle the cut line. The nylon shoe is nice and the bevel angles are easy to adjust.
