Cordless Jigsaws

Cordless jigsaws excel at making curved cuts and plunge cuts in wood, metal and plastics.  Pendulum (orbital) action speeds up cutting, while tool free blade changes allow quick swaps between different T shank blades.  Integrated blowers clear the cutting line for improved visibility.

What can I use a cordless jigsaw for?

Cordless jigsaws are ideal for:

• Curved and straight cuts in wood, metal, plastic, or laminate

• Bevel cuts for trim and joinery work

• Cutouts for sinks, outlets, or pipes in cabinetry and flooring
  They’re popular for their versatility, maneuverability, and ability to make detailed cuts—all without being tethered to a cord.

Are cordless jigsaws powerful enough for heavy-duty cutting?

Yes—modern 18V brushless cordless jigsaws offer cutting performance that rivals corded models. With the right blade, they can handle hardwoods, aluminum, PVC, and even mild steel. For extended cutting or dense material, pairing your tool with a high-capacity battery (e.g. 4.0Ah–5.0Ah) ensures smooth, consistent performance.

What features should I look for in a cordless jigsaw?

Important features include:

• Orbital action settings for faster, more aggressive cuts or finer control

• Tool-free blade changes for convenience

• Variable speed trigger or dial to match cut speed to material

• Bevel adjustment (usually 0°–45°) for angled cuts

• LED lights, dust blowers, and base stability also improve precision
  And of course, ensure compatibility with your existing battery platform.
