BLACK+DECKER400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool with Blade and Kitbox, KS501-GB

I recently purchased the BLACK+DECKER 400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. This compact jigsaw is a powerful and versatile tool that has made my DIY projects much easier and more efficient.First and foremost, the 400 W motor provides ample power to cut through various materials with ease. Whether I'm working with wood, plastic, or even metal, this jigsaw handles it all effortlessly. The variable speed control allows me to adjust the cutting speed according to the material and thickness, ensuring clean and precise cuts every time.One of the standout features of this jigsaw is its compact and lightweight design. It is comfortable to hold and maneuver, making it perfect for both small and intricate cuts. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip and reduces fatigue during longer projects.The tool-less blade change system is a game-changer. It allows me to quickly and easily swap out blades without the need for any additional tools. This saves me a lot of time and frustration, especially when I need to switch between different types of cuts.Another great feature is the adjustable baseplate, which tilts up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts. This gives me the flexibility to create angled cuts and achieve precise and professional-looking results.Overall, the BLACK+DECKER 400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool has been a fantastic addition to my toolbox. It is reliable, powerful, and easy to use. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional, I highly recommend this jigsaw for all your cutting needs.

I can’t fault this jigsaw I love an electric tool, this is light weight so your not struggling to use, great value for the money, changing the blades couldn’t be easier, comfortable to hold while using, a brilliant bit of kit.

Jigsaw received and immediately put to work cutting 4" x 1" timber fencing. Performs very well, the vibration at the hand grip is damped down quite well and the blade (supplied) is universal for wood only. The blade itself is firmly clamped in a twin screw holder with a roller underneath to guide and support while cutting.Motor cooling air is exhausted out just behind the blade to clear wood chips from the cutting line which is very useful!I have awarded 4 stars as the blade clamping screws can fall out when loosening the clamp to change the blade - they are fiddly to put back! Also there is no centre mark on the front of the baseplate to assist straight line cuts (I made my own with a paint pen - so can you!). I should add that my old unit would never cut in a straight line from new and was just short of twice the price of this B&D unit!A good solid unit for the occasional DIY'er at a price not to turn your nose up at - recommended!

I bought this to replace my 30 year old Black & Decker KS531 (370 Watts) which after 30 years of service finally broke in the middle of a job.This being the KS501 is smaller in size, good quality, strong, powerful & well made. It cuts wood like a knife in butter. It's easy to use and comes with a 2 year warranty.I contacted Black & Decker to register the saw on their web site. They said you did not need to register, just proof of purchase, so keep the receipt if you have any issues and contact them through their chat bot on their web site.It should have come with a kitbox, which was not supplied, I contacted Amazon and they gave me the option to return / replace or would give me a 30% refund. I took the 30% discount and store it in a box.Would Recommend..

I only wanted a jigsaw for a couple of small jobs, so did not want to spend too much.I was very surprised how good and quick this tool is. Build quality is good. The one downside is fitting the blade which is a bit of a job. Would have been easier if the instructions had been better.Having said that it did what I wanted so happy.

Arrived in good time but sadly with no blade! Excellent jigsaw otherwise.

Looks good and works well. Good value for money

I made a wide research before buying my first jigsaw :) I checked the cordless ones, they are both expensive and requires battery to buy seperately. Black Decker's 520 W product is useful, handy and perfectly working. It helped me a lot in first 1 week even. I have the desire to use old wooden plates and make furnitures =)
