4.5-Amp Corded Jig Saw Has Power, Versatility

Great for anyone who needs or wants to get things done around the house, the Craftsman Evolv 4.5-Amp Corded Jig Saw is perfect for work where precision is demanded. With a 4.5-amp, 800-3000 SPM motor, the saw has the power to cut through many materials, from plywood to particleboard, floor boards to metal. A two-finger trigger switch makes operation easy, while a variable dial allows for precise control of speed. A lock-on switch allows for continuous operation while leaving your hands free to work the saw.

With a number of settings you can customize, the 4.5-Amp Corded Jig Saw can adapt to your project. A base that can move 0 to 45 degrees can adjust left to right for bevel cutting. A three-position orbital action lever lets you select straight action for metal or another setting for aggressive cutting.

Small saw, could use more power
I had just one job to do and this saw did fine for me. If I was to use it more often I would probably want one with a more powerful motor.

Very Impressed for first use

Used to cut out pieces when laying laminate flooring in my living room over the weekend. This tool has tremendous power and is very easy to use. I'd give five stars if the dust remover attachment was bigger to fit my shop vac, if the front clear plastic piece seemed more durable, and if it also had a tool less bevel adjustment. But all in all, the tool less blade change and the power of this jig saw were very impressive especially for the price.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Features are great!

Love the variable speed for different materials or size or workplace. And the cut style on the side change for wood or metal or scrolling. Easy change blades, and I bought off-brand blades for different cutting. Great price! Haven't used the dust collection

I would recommend this product to a friend.

The perfect jig saw for a beginner:)

I bought the Evolv Jig to make Halloween lawn figures out of plywood. I'm pretty new to jig saws so I just went by other reviews when looking for one. It was very easy to use (I didn't even read the instructions) and after going back to the store to look into different saw blades to cut the plywood w/out splinters. It worked awesome! The blades that come with it are very aggressive. My husband, who locks up or hides his tools from our boys & I think me, was even very impressed. Love the quick change blades & storage compartment.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
