Summary
4.0 stars, 1,100 reviews. The entry-level option for homeowners who need a jigsaw once or twice a month. It cuts, it bevels (one direction), and it accepts T-shank blades. The 2,500 SPM is the lowest here, and you'll feel the difference on hardwood. Fine for drywall cutouts and softwood curves.
$50-$80 Lowe's, Amazon
