Cordless Jig Saws

Jigsaws with rechargeable batteries cut straight and curved cuts in lumber, walls, floors, and ceilings. Because battery-powered equipment do not require a wired power source, they are more convenient to use on construction sites. Jigsaws are supported by a flat plate that lies on the workpiece. The cutting blade is perpendicular to the plate and features a forward-facing cutting edge that cuts the workpiece as the saw is pushed across it. When a larger tool is not available, these portable tools can be taken to the workpiece. The straight blade is narrower than other handheld saws, allowing users to cut curves and join corners more precisely. Carpentry, construction, and other trades use jigsaws.
