What is a jigsaw, and is a jigsaw worth buying?

A jigsaw is a handheld saw that uses a fast-moving blade to cut curves, shapes, and straight lines through wood, plastics, and metals. It’s worth buying if you need flexibility - power jigsaws can make cuts other saws simply can’t.

Most people choose a Makita jigsaw for smooth, low-vibration cutting, or a DeWalt jigsaw for high torque and accuracy.

What are the common problems with a jigsaw?

Common problems usually come from using the wrong blade, pushing the tool too hard, or expecting perfectly straight cuts without a guide. When used correctly, a jigsaw is one of the easiest tools to control and maintain.

Which is the best jigsaw tool to buy, and how do you choose one?

The best jigsaw tool depends on how often you use it and what you’re cutting. For everyday site work, an 18V Makita jigsaw offers excellent balance and precision, while the DeWalt brushless jigsaw models deliver extra power for tougher materials.

Choose based on:

  • Voltage → 18V is perfect for most jobs
  • Motor type → brushless gives better runtime and control
  • Cutting needs → deeper cuts or hardwoods benefit from higher-torque models

If you’re already using either Makita LXT or DeWalt XR batteries, stick with that brand for convenience.

What is the difference between jigsaws and other power saws?

A jigsaw tool cuts curves, tight corners, and intricate shapes - something circular saws or reciprocating saws can’t do as accurately.

What tool is better than a jigsaw?

A “better” tool depends on the job:

  1. For straight, long cuts, a circular saw is better
  2. For demolition, a reciprocating saw wins
  3. For detail work and curves, the jigsaw is unmatched

So it’s not about one tool being better - it’s about using the right saw for the right task.

Can you make straight cuts with a jigsaw?

Yes, you can make straight cuts with a jigsaw, but using a straightedge guide or fence helps massively. Most Makita jigsaw and DeWalt jigsaw models are designed to stay stable during long cuts, but they’re still naturally better suited to curves and controlled shaping. For perfect straight lines, a circular saw or track saw is usually the preferred option.
