Description: The DEWALT 5.5 Amp Jig Saw Kit delivers a powerful cutting performance in tough materials and comes with a protective carrying case. The variable-speed trigger delivers 0 - 3,100 strokes per minute (spm) so you can match the speed to the material, and the 4-position orbital operation provides aggressive cutting action. Installing and changing blades is made simple with the keyless blade clamp.

DeWalt Jig Saw Kit DW317K - A powerful saw, but with a design flaw
Pros: Well balanced, plenty of power, accurate cuts when not using orbital function. Cons: Design flaw with orbital switch, will jump settings when in use. BottomLine: This saw has a design flaw in the orbital switch, I do not recommend it. DeWalt has other jigsaws with a better design such as the DW331K.
Well-Balanced, Fast-Cutting, Compact and Solid Jig Saw
Pros: Well-balanced, Fast-Cutting, compact and solid at a moderate price point Cons: Solidly built tool that should hold up - haven't had it long enough to know BottomLine: Compact jig saw that cuts fast and has sufficient heft to cut smoothly with minimal vibration - I definitely recommend it.
