Every tool needs a home for storage, as far as I’m concerned!🙌💯

The barrel grip is the best. So far I love this jigsaw and am glad I waited for a Fuel model to come out. I almost went with the Ridgid barrel grip, glad I didn’t! Great review Mark!

That's cool! I need to figure a place to store this in my tool corner. It's going to get a lot of use! I like the blade storage, so I don't have to scramble for my blades.

D handle for sure easier to see cut line with the body position it lends itself to. That said if it works for yah it works for yah.

Good point!

As a self-employed gardener, I don't use handtools that much, but bought my first Milwaukee M12 tool last year, and it has been excellent. It was the M12 Hatchet, for pruning! Highly recommend it.

I like the Sawzall pruning blades. They work great in the dirt and do get dull.

finally using the bosh style

I actually wanted the m18 for the power and I already have more m18 batteries, but the m12 had a good deal so I went with that. Not disappointed!

Nice, I was pleasantly surprised by the M12 size and power.

I dunno Mark, thats a nice jigsaw and all but... D Handle for life!!! In all seriousness, I typically prefer a trigger to a slide switch. You can always hit the trigger lock for tricky cuts like when using the tool upside down. Nonetheless, Milwaukee always seems to pack more power into a 12V platform than anyone else - no exception here!

Good point! I’d like to test out a trigger switch on a barrel grip jigsaw, just for kicks. The switch location on the M12 is much better than on the M18, fyi.

I own the D handle so that ends this debate. Seriously, the new 12v barrel grip looks like a great option. Great review, if I was buying today, I’d probably get the new 12v barrel grip… blessed be.

Gracias señor

I currently own the Festool D handle it’s the best of both worlds you can use the variable speed trigger or the on/off Switch on the barrel

I don't own any Festool items yet. I'll have to check your jigsaw out. Thanks!

Picked it up yesterday. They had some fresh price cuts at the depot. Almost missed them because they arent using the yellow stickers. But $129 is the now price. They've cut prices on many m12 & m18 tools

You can’t beat that price for a high quality tool like this!

I have the M18 D Handle and the Dewalt barrel grip. I prefer the M18 D Handle. Thanks for the video, Mark! Btw, the Stanley Cup playoffs have been great eh?

I haven't tried the Dewalt barrel grip jigsaw yet. Yes, it's been some exciting hockey! I'm watching the Edmonton game right now.

Mark I’ve never tried a barrel grip (always d handle) but I’m very curious. Do you prefer the barrel grip over the d handle? If so, how come?

Oh, just now saw your answer about this on the video. Do you feel you have more control with the barrel grip?

@MarkThomasBuilder

I like the D-handle M18 over the barrel grip M18, mostly because of the trigger setup and the barrel size. On the M12, it's just more compact and the weight is ideal. I also like going upside down if needed.

M12 I have more batteries, 18v I’d do ridgid- more batteries.

@MarkThomasBuilder

It's probably a good idea to keep a few M12's on hand when using the jigsaw if you mostly have the 2Ah size.
