WORX WT460K jigsaw

Date Published: 8/27/08

Whether you're looking to cut wood, metal, PVC, or ceramic, the WORX WT460K jigsaw is a solid, versatile choice. From 500 to 3,000 strokes per minute, the saw's thumb-wheel control makes it easy to set the right speed for the job.

Switching between materials is no problem. The four-position pendulum action control can be quickly and easily adjusted to accommodate thin, thick, or hard materials with the flick of a dial. Changing blades is a tool-free breeze, as well. This model features a light that illuminates the cutting line, making it easier to generate precisions cuts, even in fairly dim situations.

It's a nicely designed, heavy-duty-feeling unit. And thanks to its 6-amp motor and cast-aluminum base and gearbox, it delivers enough -- but not a huge amount of -- power and durability to match the perception. It's an easy-to-operate, user-friendly tool. The WORX WT460K jigsaw comes with a carrying case and 10-foot cord and is covered by a 2-year warranty.


Pros: Easy-to-set speed control, tool-free blade changing
Cons: Moderate power
