   Powerful, but doesn’t hold a blade well
   Rating:3 out of 5 stars
   I bought this to put in a new gable vent in my garage. The wood is mostly plywood, so the jigsaw had no trouble making short work of it. The unit is very powerful and cuts with ease. It also is fairly quiet for a jigsaw. The vent in back of the unit for hooking to a shop vac is a nice touch, but what takes the grade down a notch is the blade holder. Blades are held by two Allen screws, which need to be extremely tight or the vibration alone will loosen the blade during a cut. Needless to say, I would have preferred a quick turn and connect piece instead. If it wasn’t for that, it would have five stars. It takes most u shank blades just fine, just make sure you stop and re-tighten now and then.
