Model library

Jigsaw assessments, one model at a time

Each review is tied to a retail model and market. Package differences and operating limits belong in the assessment; a finish, battery bundle, or adjacent model does not silently inherit its sibling's facts.

Coverage reflects a finite, dated set of manufacturer, support, and relevant regional or historical sources. U.S.-market candidates are distinguished from clearly labelled reference-only models; this library is not a complete census of every jigsaw available in the United States.

DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Barrel-Grip Jig Saw (Tool Only, DCS335B)

A cordless, brushless DEWALT 20V MAX XR barrel-grip jigsaw with a T-shank clamp, preset speed dial and on/off switch, four straight/orbital positions, integrated blower, optional vacuum route and a 45-degree bevel shoe. The tool-only package lists one blade; battery and charger are separate. DEWALT's manual reserves orbital action for suitable soft materials and prohibits it on hardwood or metal.

Bosch 1582 Corded Barrel-Grip Jigsaw

An earlier Bosch 1582 body kept distinct from the 1582VS and 1582DVS. A Bosch family manual covers straight and orbital general-wood arrangements, and its T101B anti-splinter example can be bridged to Bosch's T-shank blade listing. Exact speed, electrical nameplate, capacity, dust route, bevel rating, U-shank acceptance and package contents are not established for this body.

Bosch 1582VS Barrel-Grip Corded Jigsaw

An earlier Bosch corded barrel-grip jigsaw with a separate rear speed control, four orbital positions, a three-position chip blower and a footplate listed for bevel cuts up to 45 degrees. Bosch's manual documents a T101B blade example and a CLIC release procedure; confirm the exact body label, electrical nameplate, blade fit and contents of any specific offer.

Bosch 1587AVS Corded Top-Handle Jigsaw

An earlier Bosch top-handle jigsaw with variable-speed trigger, preset speed dial, four orbital-selector positions, three-position blower and bevel shoe. Bosch documents a separate optional Dust Collection Adapter Kit for this AVS suffix and footplate inserts; a plain AVS offer does not establish that the adapter, plastic insert or case is included.

One Bosch JS5 corded top-handle jigsaw specimen; Bosch and JS5 markings, top handle, shoe and cord are visible. The image does not show a bag or establish package contents or tool condition.Specimen · Bosch JS5 body

Bosch JS5 Orbital Jigsaw

An earlier Bosch corded top-handle jigsaw with variable speed, four orbital positions, a two-position chip blower, bevel shoe and optional dust-port vacuum hose. Bosch-authored sources conflict on stroke length (7/8 in in the manual; 1 in in the catalog), so no matching stroke value is assigned. The exact blade-shank standard and any seller-specific package contents must be checked.

Festool TRION PS 300 EQ corded barrel-grip jigsaw body with shoe and blade.PS 300 EQ corded barrel-grip body shown; verify the 576039 package contents.

Festool · Earlier model

Festool TRION PS 300 EQ Corded Barrel-Grip Jigsaw (576039)

The 2021 and 2024 U.S. catalogs list the corded 576039; inspected 2026 catalog pages 120–127 show current cordless CARVEX models/accessories and do not list it. Earlier-reference is a source-snapshot classification, not proof of discontinuation or seller unavailability. Barrel grip with a latching slide switch; the manual distinguishes it from PSB 300 EQ’s pushbutton and lock button.

Festool · Earlier model

Festool CARVEX PS 420 EBQ Corded Barrel-Grip Jigsaw (576181)

The 2021/2022/2023 U.S. Festool materials identify this corded 420 configuration; inspected 2026 catalog pages 120–127 show current cordless PS/PSBC Carvex products and related accessories rather than this EBQ model. This does not prove formal discontinuation or lack of seller stock. Barrel grip with side on/off switches and a speed wheel; the manual describes a latch/continuous-switch option and an automatic A speed setting. It is distinct from PSB 420 EBQ’s variable-speed trigger.

Festool · Earlier model

Festool TRION PSB 300 EQ Corded Top-Handle Jigsaw (576049)

The 2021 U.S. catalog lists the corded 576049 and the 2024 catalog lists its 576049 identifier. Inspected 2026 pages 120–127 do not list this corded model. Earlier-reference is not proof that no retailer has stock or a formal discontinuation notice. Top/D-handle with pushbutton switch and lock button for continuous operation, distinct from PS 300 EQ’s latching slide switch.

Festool · Earlier model

Festool CARVEX PSB 420 EBQ Corded Top-Handle Jigsaw (576192)

The 2021–2023 U.S. Festool catalog/dealer material identifies this corded 420 configuration; inspected 2026 catalog pages 120–127 show current cordless Carvex models/accessories rather than this EBQ tool. This is not an official discontinuation or seller-unavailability finding. Top/D-handle with variable-speed trigger and separate safety lock. Trigger range is 1,000–3,800 SPM when used; the wheel sets the maximum. The lock is not a documented trigger lock-on for continuous running.

Hitachi CJ160V D-handle corded jigsaw with shoe and a dust accessory visible on a white background; the image is from the exact-model U.S. retailer page and does not establish box contents.Lowe’s listing image · CJ160V

Metabo HPT · Earlier model

Metabo HPT CJ160V Variable-Speed Jig Saw

An earlier 120 V AC, 7.0 A corded D-handle jigsaw independently identified in Metabo HPT's U.S. tool card and its CJ160V/CJ160VA manual. The card gives an exact U.S. accessory list; the manual distinguishes the D-handle trigger/stopper from CJ160VA's barrel-grip switch. Standard speed is 800–2,800/min and the tool has four orbital positions. Its straight stainless-steel procedure needs the separate No. 97 blade. The manual prohibits angular cuts with the chip cover or dust collector fitted.

Metabo HPT CJ160VA Barrel-Grip Jig Saw (U.S. manual reference)

A distinct barrel-grip configuration named in the U.S. 120 V CJ160V/CJ160VA manual. The manual's figure shows a body switch and speed dial rather than CJ160V's D-handle trigger/stopper; an official HiKOKI international page separately identifies the CJ160VA soft barrel-grip body and is used only for that form, not U.S. package facts. Its common manual lists 7.0 A, 800–2,800/min, four orbital positions and the same capacities as CJ160V. No exact U.S. standalone sales page or U.S. package is established here, so this reference is not a purchase-match candidate.
