Good balance with a 2.0 battery. I haven't used it with a 5.0 battery yet. The "arrow" on the splinter guard is very helpful, especially going into a curve, to keep me from going "out of bounds." The footpad is a nice touch, especially as I was cutting laminate flooring, to ensure I was not scratching the flooring. I've never had a jigsaw with sawdust collection, but it looks as if it could be helpful if my attaching hose is flexible enough. Tool only was a good option for me, as I have a number of batteries already.

Milwaukee tools are the best next to Hilti, Hilti is made in Germany they are number one when it comes to commercial building which I am in, I’ve tried Ryobi I’ve tried porter cable I’ve tried Makita Makita is good Milwaukee is better, but Ryobi is the worst, I did not have too much trouble with porter cable. I highly recommend Milwaukee for the price, just buy a little bit at a time if you can’t afford the kit all at once, get the 18v not the 12 it’s well worth it in the long run!!

The doctor cut your cord years ago and set you free. This is what battery power does for this jigsaw. No cord in the way, plenty of power, quality built, what's not to love.

This is a great jig saw with plenty of power and easy to change the blades (tooless). I love the freedom of not having a cord and also not worrying about cutting the cord. This was a big step up from my old corded jig saw.

One of my biggest complaints about jig saws is the cord always getting in the way or getting caught in the kerf. This eliminates that problem. The batteries I have last plenty long enough for the work I do.
