PORTER CABLE PCC650B 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Jig Saw (Bare Tool / Battery Sold Seperately)

I have actually been needing a new jigsaw and wanted to get a cordless so I am quite happy with the porter cable cordless jigsaw. It does not come with a battery or a charger so if you do not already own them you will have to purchase them separately. The saw features a lock and unlock button (like a child safety almost) to be able to use the saw. Just pushes in 1 direction to lock and pushes the opposite to unlock. It has quick blade change and comes with a blade. It has 3 orbital settings depending on your cut roughness. The trigger does have a variable speed dependent on your pressure from your finger. The tools are interchangeable between 20V batteries in this series. It makes smooth cuts. It feels good in the hand when cutting. It weighs under 5 lbs without the battery and my hand does not get fatigued at all. It is great to take anywhere with you and not being limited by a cord and its length. It does a fantastic job cutting circular cuts. I am an avid tool user. I have my own workshop and woodwork for a living. I would recommend this completely regardless of DIY use or professional use. I am very satisfied with it and would purchase it if I needed another.

The first impression I got from the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw when I first used it is the weight and comfort using the power tool. I have used a similar power tool before from a big brand but for some reasons, those are too bulky and a little heavier. I understand that people often complain about the lack of power and longevity to finish work but to make a power tool bulky and heavy just to compensate basically defeats the purpose of working with ease. It doesn't matter how simple or how complex your project is, using a bulky and heavier power tool often results in shorter productivity. I like this Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw because it is lightweight and it packs enough power for me to finish a weekend project. I like how easy it is for me to change blades and how easy it is to change batteries. I like convenience, and so far, the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw has been a great addition to all my woodworking projects. The Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw comes with an easy-to-read instruction manual to properly use the machine. The instruction manual also offers tips on how to make the most out of your jigsaw power tool. The instruction manual comes with numbered photos to identify each component so you do not have to second-guess the part. The Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw package comes with a standard wood blade to get you started. Unfortunately, the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw I received did not come with a battery pack or charger – it is bare bone machine only. You can purchase the battery and charger separately. I bought the lithium rechargeable batteries and they lasted a very long time. I finished all my weekend woodworking project in no time. The Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw is really a woodworker's handy companion. The Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw has the same features as the other big name power tools. I look at the feature of dust blower, speed selection, easy trigger control, tool-free blade change, etc. and they are all standard to a good Jigsaw power tool. I believe the only thing that is not standard is the price. I looked at other power tools similar to the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw and they are a bit expensive in my opinion. I assume that there are those who are loyal to a particular brand but for me, I believe the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw is where the smart money is. I can get as much productivity using the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw the same with the more expensive power tool. When everything evens out when it comes to power tool features and productivity, I believe the smart consumer will look at the price. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw. This power tool helped me finished my woodworking projects on time. I believe the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw can easily match or even outperform the big brands out there. So far, I have no complaints or have not seen anything this Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw need to improve. As long as I can finish my work at ease, the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw will always be my best buddy when it comes to woodworking. I highly recommend to try the Porter Cable 20V Max Lithium Jigsaw and you will be surprised at how well this power tool performs.
