Great Jigsaw from Metabo HPT that is also built quite well. The Metabo HPT CJ18DGLP4 itself performed admirably. Best quality and price for me. This Metabo HPT CJ18DGLP4 is everything I want in a Jigsaw. My old Porter Cable saw is not this good.

Metabo HPT CJ18DGLP4 Final Thoughts
"No brainer."
Very easy to install and replace the blade. One of my favorite tools in the shop. I have been very happy with this Jigsaw. Until I used the Metabo HPT CJ18DGLP4, I hated Jigsaws. The Jigsaw cuts smooth and clean.
