BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw, Cordless, Compact (LPS7000)

Excellent

The Black + Decker LPS7000 is really good compact and budget jigsaw for a percussion massager. I bought this thinking it would be cheaply built and lacking the saw strength, but I was wrong. I recommend it to anyone looking at making a under £80 percussion massager.The only problem I have with it is that it has an annoying buy easy to use charging system and that you can't lock the jigsaw to keep sawing without having your finger on the trigger. But hey, you pay for what you get.

This is not a bad tool, as long as you keep expectations to a minimum. It lacks the power necessary to make it anything more than an extremely light duty saw - it is definitely not a reciprocal saw!The battery does not hold much of a charge - you will be charging more than working if you plan to do more than a few cuts at a time. And, as pointed elsewhere, the battery cannot be replaced when it eventually fails, making the devise essentially disposable. (*that is, unless you have some electronic skills and can find replacements when the time comes)However, $25 for a cordless jigsaw that does,cut, eventually, may not be a bad thing for any casual user with one or two small projects and limited space. If so, investing in good blades from a reputable company may make this useful and reduce frustration. Blades are NOT included, by-the-way.Even so, just don't expect to be chomping down 2x8 with this. Soft wood with a thickness up to 1 inch / 2.5cm should be OK. PVC, plastic and small metal - say, 14-16 mil - pipes and tin is also alright with proper blade.

Blade insertion wrong won't work. Another 'buyer" noted briefly that it required different method. Thanks other 'buyer!!!!'I was going to return but have found method to make it work. I like the size ( small) of this saw so will not return unless it FAILS completely Shame on B& D and Amazon for not revising blade insertion instructions. These are my observations based on my experience and are for general information only. Follow or disregard as you wish!

This tool is simply too low power to be suitable for any kind of work. I purchased it for (what I thought was light duty cutting of 3 and 6mm plywood. This device could not do that without running out of power within minutes. Maybe it will work on cardboard. My advice: do not buy.

Ha sido un mala inversión, es una herramienta que lejos de solucionar los retos de producción, complica la productividad. Tiene un mecanismo de función que requiere dos puntos de sujeción que es difícil activar, no puedo regular la velocidad de trabajo. Es posible que para un trabajo simple de trozar cosas sin precisión pueda servir, pero no era lo que buscaba.
