BLACK+DECKER KS900EKX 600W Corded Variable Speed Slightline Autoselect Pendulum Jigsaw with Kitbox and 10 blades included to Cut High Density Materials, 1 Year Warranty, ORANGE & BLACK

I purchased this Jigsaw to install a cat door, along with a power drill from the same company. The make and build of both these power tools is quite impressive, especially the Jigsaw. I am attaching a photo of the installed cat door along with the perfectly carved out piece of the door. Even the rounded edges went smoothly with this Jigsaw. I was obviously a bit apprehensive but went ahead, holding the saw firmly on the door's surface and it did the job superbly. Makes you feel you are a pro :) The power drill is also worth your money, but the provided bits aren't that good, which is something I expected after reading some of the helpful reviews here. I was able to drill through my door (about 1.5 inch) with difficulty, and despite starting with a smaller bit, had to make the hole manually with my screw driver. I also had to make another hole on the much thicker door frame to thread a cable, but these bits weren't sufficient. That said, it's not for the lack of capacity of the drill itself. It's a keeper. I purchased a trishul bit for 40 bucks and ordered another auger bit, and both drilled through without issues. All in all, I am not a professional, but even those will find these tools enviable! I am hoping these will last long, given my usage will be occasional at best.

Good product

Good product and with stable sole plate which help for straight cut.

Easy to use and really good for beginners. Easy to handle, performance also good. Like this product.

Angle adjustment is not good. It's came loose and angle marking rotate. Made of cheap plastic. Cutting is ok

I have received it just today, and this is a review after the initial impression and just one test usage. Saw is good and powerful, however the cost saving is evident at various places. The blade does not sit perfectly perpendicular with the blade holder. I don’t know if this is because of the specific blade, (since it is high speed blade – meant to cut wood at high speed) or if it a manufacturing defect. I saw some videos of this jig saw online and concluded that it meant to be that way. I was also not able to change the bevel level at first. Even after moving the bevel change lever up. After some trial and error, I was able to change the level after pushing the base plate slightly forward. The base plate moves by a couple of milometers and that allows the base to rotate. Again, I don’t know if that’s by design or that’s a defect. Now, the cut. I cut a small piece of scrap plywood with the provided T shank high speed blade. I cut a part of it with pendulum action set to zero and speed set to 2, it was slow but I got a fairly smooth cut. Then I switched to pendulum action 3 and it tore through the plywood like knife cuts through butter! It’s a powerful saw and the first time I cut it, I lifted the saw a few times during the cut. If you press it down on the wood, it moves smoothly. The quality is cheap. Plastic separates where you insert the vacuum cleaner attachment. Like any power tool, it will take practice to get used to it. It took me a few tries to even start using a drill properly. Overall, despite a few limitations I think it is a good overall package. The saw is powerful and comes with a hard plastic box, extra blades and vacuum cleaner attachment. For DIY and occasional use it’s a good deal.

Good quality
