Cordless jigsaws are for making shaped cuts in materials, such as wood, metal and plastic. If you don't want to do a straight cut and need a different shape or design, then this is the tool you need to use. A cordless jigsaw is versatile and can be used for trimming or shaping wood for furniture projects. If you're looking for a battery-powered jigsaw to handle cutting jobs, either simple or complex, the models within the RYOBI® jigsaw range are an excellent choice.
