    I bought the barrel grip version and all I can say is that the saw cuts wood like a hot knife through butter. Very pleased.

    I used to used the pneumatic Bosch and I agree that the barrel grip is just the best.

    Vaughan, I haven’t used the Bosch but I went from a craftsman to a high end PC and was stunned by the difference.

    Congrats on the new saw!
    Please help support the Creek.

    Hey Vaughn, Brown just left and the saw has landed, when I opened the case I was a happy man!
    You said that I would have to get blades? Well there were three included in the saw case, in a package with a clear plastic chip guard it looks like. Anyhow I ordered some blades when I ordred the saw. Better check your case you may have them in yours also. Well gotta go plug it in and see how it works.

    I had a Sears jig-saw for a few years (came in a red case) that I always hated to use. Along came the Festool so I know what you mean!! Quality tools are where it is at...they make your life easier and your projects go smoother. Congrats!!

    Did you know SMC is user supported? Please help.

  6. Same experience here ... had an old Sears and an old B&D jigsaw, and they both did cut things ... by vibrating the wood molecues apart. When I got my Bosch I was absolutely amazed.

    They shouldn't be able call the cheap ones "jig saws". They should be called something like "faux saws" or "naugha saws".
