What is an orbital jigsaw?

[Dan Clark]

I have a Dewalt, orbital js, and wish I had a different - better- jigsaw.

It is ok. I don't like the handle. If I had to buy another one, I would lean towards a barrel style jig saw. I have never used one, but I can imagine better control and feel with a barrel style

Joe,

Just make sure that you try it out personally. When I bought my Festool Trion, I fully intended to buy the barrel style. I walked out with the D-handle version because it fit my hand better. Go figure.

How did you know which Brand I was/will eventually purchase?

Make sure you also buy some high quality baldes , like Bosch. Good blades will also affect the way the saw works.
