I will preface to say I am a DeWalt fan. I bought in the batteries so I figured we keep up with it and try this jig saw out. I have the old d-handle but wanted a brushless. This saw is comfortable, more than powerful enough with my 5ah and flexvolt batteries. If you are already Dewalt foundationed this would be a great little saw for the toolbox.

For a design touted as ergonomic this saw fails miserably. In fact it reminds me of my first jig saw way back in the 1970s. Why? (1) The variable speed switch is impossible to change unless you stop cutting, lift the saw from your work and turn it upside down to access the speed dial. Just like my 1970's saw. (2) The On/Off switch is very difficult to slide with the same hand that is holding the tool. (3) The shoe bevel lever is strategically placed where it will be the most annoying to your index finger. I have large hands, so if you don't even gripping it will be awkward. I'm a big DeWalt fan and have many of their tools which I love. However, this may be DeWalt's most epic failure and I expect it to be modified or discontinued soon. Save yourself some grief and pass on this one.

Product as advertised. Dewalt is a good tool, despite few who have had bad reviews. Maybe because of skill level, I don't know. I've made it to retirement age using them. It is a solid saw. Has not disappointed me in the least.

I thought that 'barrel' design was odd, but when i researched it I found out that it was highly favored. Based on that, I got it. i agree with others that when you try this design you will not go back to the other. This design is much easier to use and control the cut. I now have several Dewalt tools and they all perform great and take the same batteries. A greatproduct.

So far, this thing has worked really well. I've had good luck with all my DeWalt 20v tools, so I'm expecting this one to be the same. Very comfortable and easy to maneuver compared to my old one. I can't see me ever going back to the other style.
