When I picked up Grizzly's new model G8994 jigsaw, I had a sudden feeling of deja vu. It had been a while, but it was a very familiar and friendly remembrance. This jigsaw is very similar in function, features and feel to the jigsaw that put Bosch at the top of the jigsaw market. However this one costs only $59.95! This 5.2-amp tool features variable speed control up to 3,100 strokes per minute, a four-position orbital cut action, a built-in blower, an adjustable footplate and it uses Bosch-style bayonet blades, which are changed with a long screwdriver. This is a sturdy saw that functions well (once you discard the blade that comes with the tool), and it will provide years of use for most woodworkers. While it doesn't offer the trendy feature of toolless blade change, this Grizzly tool is an amazing bargain for the performance and features you get. Our only regret is that it isn't available in a barrel-grip model -- yet. PW
