Can't Beat It For The Money
This is an excellent little Jig Saw.Although(when I bought it), it was advertised as being able to use both types of jig saw blades.The regular blades do not hold at all.Would recommend.

Excellent saw at a bargain price
This saw is terrific!It is a *huge* improvement over my old B&D jigsaw.Freud has corrected the blade installation issue... blade change is a snap, literally! Just open the catch, insert the blade, close the catch, and push the blade up slightly until it snaps in place.Easy, and it won't come out.
Yes, the vacuum hose contacts the cord near the dust port, but this isn't a big issue.It seals and vacuums the dust quite well.
The saw has plenty of power and doesn't bog down in thick conditions.I look forward to using this saw every chance I get.
It does all I ask and more.Also, for $50 less than the Bosch, it's a bargain.

very disappointed
I purchased my Freud FJ85 based on my previous experience with Freud products, the apparent value and the great review in Fine Woodworking magazine. Unfortunatley the saw is a piece of junk. It did not cut properly due to a faulty guide and the blade would consistently fall out. Now the saw will not even start up. When I contacted the service department via email, I received a response insinuating that I may have been lying to them when I told them that I bought it a year ago. I guess I should have gone with my first instinct and gotten the Bosch. I wouldn't recommend this saw to anyone. ... Read more
