Thanks for the review Clint!!! I just picked mine yesterday and couldn't be happier.

[@wilberp.8040]

Got one for xmass and didn't expect to be this good

[@darwynwolff5388]

wanted one before ur video now it's on the short list

[@michaeldankert1962]

I own this and I tighten the shoe just enough to hold it , but you can still push it back to disengage the detent, angle the shoe and push it back without using the wrench. The dewalt, I wasn't as impressed with. If you back the saw up in wood while cutting, the metal blade lever vibrates open enough to drop the blade out. There are a couple videos that show this happening. Love this Milwaukee saw.

Dust extraction will work better with the front guard, heads up

I'm digging the ozzy into!

Good review Clint!👍 Next time you do a cordless jigsaw review can you possibly include a cut on 1/8' - 1/4' mild steel? I use my old Bosch 1587 quite a bit on steel (1/4inch and under). I have been wondering how a cordless jigsaw would perform on this type of material. I recently had to do some intricate metal cuts on a job , 30 feet up on a ladder. It was no fun and very unsafe fighting an extension cord.

I love this tool and will probably buy it soon. I want a cordless jigsaw so I don't have a cord getting in the way when making curved cuts. Not sure why anyone would want to use dust collection with a cordless tool and have a tube getting in the way. Defeats the main purpose of being cordless.

Thanks bro 😎

[@chipshot442]

Nice review brother!!!! Always enjoy

[@bluemantom77]

That's a monster DeWalt got one coming out

[@Crucifixxated]

Wish it had lever for angle cuts, but then again how often is a curved mitre needed, the blower is amazing to keep line of sight clear.

[@lgzz4885]

Nice vid! Can you set and forget speed now w/ dual? & doesn’t it have the plastic front plate That you could/would use with the vacuum to better direct suction? I’m leaning more towards this vs D handle, bevel adjustment is whatever for my usage but no trigger 🤔

[@jeffcoolhd]

Trz I wanted to let you know I bought that same jigsaw about a month-and-a-half ago when I hit the release button for the blade it does shoot the blade out you may have a problem with yours just giving you a heads up peace brother

[@ClevesBackyardWoodworking]

so from all the recent brushless jigsaw reviews do you have a ranking? best budget and performance? is it ryobi?

[@sebastianb251]

looks like a festool carvex in red :D

[@alpharemoval2046]

Barrel grip is the only way to go

[@someguy8523]

Hey Clint I always trust your reviews. Tell me brother in your opinion which one is the best between the Barrel or the D grip?

[@diversionmary]

Man I'm torn, seems like M18 barrel or D are both great tools. Either would be precise enough for what I need. Flip a coin?

[@jamesstocker1735]

Should have shown what type blade it uses
