Not bad for the price
I bought this [for a reasonable price], easily the most affordable reciprocating saw... It felt comfortable carrying it as it is well contoured for your forward hand and back trigger fingers. Changing the blade was a pain with the hex key. I use it to trim trees and bushes primarily. With the Ugly blade, it works just fine for this purpose. It still feels as heavy as the more powerful 10-12 amp models offered by competitors, however, and there is some pretty heavy vibration during use. I haven't used many others though, so I don't know how the vibration is relative to them. Overall, a good product for its price. ... Read more

excellent cordless screw driver
I second the opinion on all the positive things that about this cordless screw driver. I used this tool to set screws when I built a deck earlier this year. This tool may not be too well suited to drill many large diameter holes in wood or other materials -- just because the rpm is low. When you set hundreds of screws or drill many, many holes a corded drill may be better suited. I would like to add the following details:
1) Invest in a good set of driver bits that match the screws you are using
2) the stud-finder is a bit flimsy and works so-so, but I used it once or twice successfully
3) buy a second battery for example on a major auctioning web-page. You should be able to get one for 1/4 the price of this tool. That helped me a lot
4) once you have this tool you are not very likely to use your hand screw drivers any longer

enjoy -- this is a great purchase!!!!

Bosch's Other Tool Line
When you consider that you could buy four and a half of these for one of those "yellow" branded tools, and that Skil is a Bosch subsidiary, it kinda' puts things in perspective. OK, so the yellow brand is an excellent professional tool, but for most of us in the real world this Skil will do just fine.
My wife bought mine as a gift to me almost three years ago when my old corded drill took a powder. I have to admit that I was disappointed when I saw the brand she had chosen. After all, what do most women know about tools, huh? But after that time it has helped me build a deck, put up doors and moulding, and numerous other projects, and it is an indispensable staple in my workshop. I hardly know what a regular screwdriver looks like anymore. And I don't have to tell most of you what a convenience the cordless feature is.
Since then I have purchased an 18 volt Skil combo pack containing a 1/2" drill and 5-3/8" circular saw and I am just as happy with this purchase. (Four Amazon Stars)
My drill/driver has the now older 5 position (plus lockup) clutch which I personally find useless in anything but "5" or the lockup position, but it does have enough power to twist your arm off if you get caught off guard, so be careful!!
Also mine doesn't have the built in stud finder, or work light that is the current (but useful) gimmick.
As a left-hander I find it comfortable to use with either hand.
I would like Skil to include an extra battery and perhaps the one hour charger in place of the three hour version that is standard. Mine died, but I suspect it's because it was plugged in most of the time. Replacement batteries can be hard to find too, but not impossible. I now have five of them from several different sources, including the original which has seen better days. I've found them to be between $...-$...depending on the source. That's not bad by comparison.
Read and follow their very complete instructions for handling of the batteries and chargers. It's good information to get the maximum life out of both. And, unlike me, UNPLUG THE CHARGER WHEN NOT IN USE!!
If you have a little more to spend, get the combo pack. Two tools, two batteries and the one hour charger, plus carrying case for about twice as much, but worth it. Both are an excellent deal if you ask me.

Excellent in every way.
The Skill drill is the best cordless drill I've ever owned. It charges quickly, retains its charge through hundreds and hundreds of screws, and it fits my hand. I highly recommend the 18V. I also have the Skill 12V dril. It is excellent also. ... Read more

The Lower (And Cheaper) Bosch Line Of Tools Is Skil
As a weekend warrior/home owner I have a budget and other considerations when spending money for tools. But, if cost were no object.... };-0)
I bought this combo pack because I all ready own a Skil 18v drill/driver (a gift from my wife) that I use more than I ever expected to and it's battery charger went bad. Given how much I do use this tool, I'd need a new one in a hurry.
That said, individual parts can be hard to get for Skil tools and their website is only partially helpful. Don't think you'll get replacement batteries at your local home center or discount store inspite of what they say.
Instructions are very clear and well written, and set up was easy. I would strongly suggest to anyone using battery operated tools to read and follow the instruction for battery usage and charging to get the maximum life out of them.
Though a little more developement is needed, it does seem that Skil made an attempt to make these tools comfortable for both righties and lefties. As you may guess, I am left handed and this is a problem most lefties that use power tools. It can be a dangerous one if the tool is not designed for left handed use.
Both tools have plenty of power for most jobs and a fairly long use time between charges.
One thing that impressed me most is the Bosch designed metal gear drive system in the saw, verses the plastic most manufacturers use. Of course, it's noisier, but which would YOU rather have?
Another positive thing is the battery charger. It works quickly and it works well. Be sure, as they say many times in the instructions, UNPLUG THE CHARGER WHEN NOT IN USE. I believe this to be the reason for the demise of my other charger.
If I were a pro, I might consider another brand and have to pay for it too, but as a DIYer this is a very, very good alternative to giving up the farm.
I hope all who see this will find it helpful.
Thanks!

A VERY Smooth Pair
I just got my birthday present yesterday and this combo was it! I was up until almost midnight using both the drill and saw. I have had a cordless screw/drill driver for more than 10 years, but this one is by far the best. You will be amazed at how easily the 5" saw cuts through most thin material. It is very easy to follow a scribed line for ripping short distances. (Maybe the sharp carbide blade has something to do with it).

If this comes wrapped up for Christmas or your birthday, don't forget to say Thank You before you run down to your workshop to try it out! ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Skil's Classic series variable-speed orbital jig saw is one of our favorites among the saws designed for the do-it-yourselfer. The saw has a 4 amp motor that provides plenty of power, cutting with minimal vibration. It also has a variable-speed selector dial, which is handy, but not really the same as a variable-speed trigger (found on more expensive saws). You do get five orbital-action settings, however, which is great, especially when you want to make faster, more aggressive cuts (many consumer-grade saws offer only an up-and-down stroke). Do-it-yourselfers looking for a solid jig saw for occasional home projects can't go wrong. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

• Two-year warranty
• Variable-speed selector dial

Skil 4470-44 Classic Series Variable Speed Orbital Jigsaw
This top of the line jigsaw provides versatility that every homeowner or carpenter needs for little money out of the pocket. The scrolling feature enables you to cut intricate patterns with ease, while the orbital and variable speed functions provide the perfect blade action for your job. The chip shield and dust port allows you to keep dust off of the work piece and out of the air. The tilting foot allows you to make extremely accurate bevels and miters, and the most handy feature, the Switchblade quick change blade system allows blade changes to take only seconds. If you are searching for one of the best jigsaws on the market for under $, you will never feel as much power and versatility as you will with the Skil 4470-44 Classic Series Variable Speed Orbital Jigsaw.

NEED A STRAIGHT CUTTING JIGSAW-THIS ISN'T IT!
Despite my new 4470 having a world of neat and nifty features and looking great, the bottom line for any jigsaw, is one that can cut straight. It is at that point, where this Skil gets off the train. It absolutely will not cut straight, with anything but the thinnest of materials. The blade immediately starts drifting off on a journey to the left. One must literally turn the entire saw to the left, about 10 degrees, to compensate and attempt a straight cut. I called Skil and on this saw, they offer a "silent" two year, no questions asked, replacement policy. What does that tell you? Do yourself a favor, skip all the Skil "bells and whistles" and low price and buy a Makita, Bosch, Porter Cable or Hitachi and save yourself a lot of aggrevation. My new Makita is on the way.

Lots of features, but poor quality
When I tried to cut a straight line I had to twist the saw 20 degrees to cut straight. I used a straight edge and the blade started flexing in towards the straight edge, making a very crooked cut. The slide was straight and I even had a friend try it, he had the same results. This is my first jigsaw purchase and I may not know alot about them, but I don't think this is how they are supposed to work.

BLAH!!
I bought this saw for home use and had incredible difficulty cutting a straight line through 3/4" plywood (even with a fence). The saw is very light weight and seems flimsy when trying to cut. It tended to pull to one side and was hard to get a line of sight correctly. When I finally got it to cut a straight line I noticed the saw was at an angle and the base was crooked. After messing with the base to get it straight, I still had the same problem. The blower works but it all ends up in your face. Spend the extra money for a better saw!!

Have not found a better deal yet!
If you are looking for a great saw with plenty of power that won't set you back a hundred bucks this is it. I have found this jigsaw to be excellent when it comes time to work. The ability to change the orbital action and the speed make for a very customizable cut. If it were my choice I would put this saw right up with there worm drive saw as the the best tools that skil makes. ... Read more
