Thanks... getting one due to this excellent review.

People really shouldn’t be surprised that skil makes good tools. They invented the worlds first portable circular saw in the nineteen twenties and later came out with the worm drive in the forties considered thee best worm drive saw to this day. So

Love my skill circular saw 12 volt

Skil seems to be making a good tool line up lately in the 12 and 20v.

Yes, they are revamping the SKIL name and doing a great job. Thanks for watching.

Chevron is making some pretty sweet tools.Battery tech is the best

Flex high tech coming too skill sweet. was looking at these today at Lowes.didn't see this tool there,I really like it

I would've liked to see a tool-less shoe bevel adjustment like Ryobi's. (Take notes Chervon!) Thanks for the review!

true but ill take an allen key to change a bevel (which i dont do often) for a barrel grip.

Q: can I put the Collin coping foot on the base Thanks Frank

Today, the m12 jigsaw is $50 with a hack, after watching this I think I’m going with this one over the Milwaukee brushed

Yeah, the Auto takes some getting used to, and I don't like it many times. A lot of people seem to like it a lot. That ring light is definitely nice, and they use one on their impact wrench as well. Thanks for watching.

Soft start can be disabled on the Skil, just as it can on the Makita.

Don’t like the no trigger or having to use a tool to adjust the bevel. But it would work with my 12v impact battery. Trade off from 20v system variable speed dial vs trigger.

Hey cool review! Does it blow the dust outta the way?

Shame that Europe's version doesn't have usb ports on battery and charger

Come on DEWALT, make a 12v!

The Milwaukee M12 jigsaw is the worst jigsaw I have ever used in my life. Anything would be better than that M12 one.

I tried it, not perfect for straight cuts like 90 degree.

@@chellewizzie The battery charges to 25% in 5 minutes... but that's IF you remember to hit the button, IF the battery temp isn't too high or low when you put it on the charger, and IF the battery is drained far enough to activate the pwrjump feature. I bought a 5 piece set for my brother, and it takes closer to a half hour to fully charge the 2 amp hr batteries, but I didn't time it, so + or - some. Pwrjump is faster than the charger included with my xtreme, but that's dewalt"s worst charger. I think the dewalt battery lasts a little longer in use. It's tough to tell without a head to head comparison. I've also used the Bluetooth speaker and light, which I thought were a stretch to call tools, but I really like both, especially at the $150 price I paid for the set. The oscillating multitool appears to be very good, but we haven't used it on a job yet. My one complaint is that the SKIL 12 and 20 volt tools appear to require different chargers, where Dewalt and Milwaukee can use one charger for either. Bottom line is that they are great tools with one small flaw.
