DeWALT DC330K Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Top Handle Jig Saw Kit

July 16, 2007 Filed Under: Construction

Gentle curves, sharp turns, circles, ovals or straight cuts, it’s all a cinch with this DeWalt. It’s got so much power, it can easily take on jobs you’d normally hand to your circular saw, but it’s got the finesse you need for cutting curves. Our pet peeve with jigsaws has always been the complicated, tooled method of changing a blade, but bravo to DeWalt for engineering this tool-free, practically effortless blade changeout system. The flip... 

Bosch 1591EVSK 6.4 Amp Barrel Grip Jig Saw

February 8, 2007 Filed Under: Construction

When we first heard of barrel grip jig saws, we were pretty skeptical about the comfort and control they could offer, since we were so accustomed to the typical top-handle design. It really was a genuine surprise to feel the difference. The control is amazing, and cutting scrollwork is an absolute delight with this saw, something we can’t honestly say about most top-handle models. With this design, it almost feels as if the cutter is an extension... 

Bosch 1587AVSP Progressor Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit

February 8, 2007 Filed Under: Construction

Bosch invented the jig saw, and, with their Progressor top-handle model, they’re getting close to perfecting it. The Progressor has a nicely shaped handle, tapered where other saws are not, and a nice rubber grip that lets users (of all hand sizes) steer the tool firmly in hand. (Some toolmakers ignore ergonomics, but not Bosch–and we appreciate it.) The safety mechanism works well with the trigger, and the cut is super smooth. We like... 

DEWALT DW7084 Crown Stops (DW703, DW706 & DW708)

January 25, 2007 Filed Under: Construction

When it comes to cutting crown molding you often find that you have to work with the stock upside down and backwards in order to make the perfect cut. Most of us have at one time or other tried to make a jig for our miter saws, but the clamps always get in the way. To make accurate cuts every time on your Dewalt miter saw use the Dewalt Miter Saw Crown Stops. Two stops included for working on both sides of the blade, the adjustable stops accurately... 

Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw

January 24, 2007 Filed Under: Construction

It’s a funny thing about jigsaws; most of us tend to reach for another tool in its stead, having had less-than-great experiences with the little beasts. But here comes Bosch’s 1590, and it elevates the outcast jigsaw to the most-wanted list. The first thing we liked about this saw is its heft; it’s beefy, solid and made with that famous Swiss quality. You wrap your hand around the soft, substantial grip, squeeze the ample trigger and the soft-start...
