B&d out rates dewalt, makita and Bosch? Right, and a pig just flew by my window.

I guess the Festool Trion was #11, right behind the Kawasaki, makes sense.

[Dewayne Reding]

The Skil is right up there too. That was funny. :)

Why do you even need a jigsaw when you can do everything with a sawzall:

Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw . . . oh, oh, oh, stop. You'e killing me; ha-ha-hah-haaaaaaaaaa.

P.s. Is Expert Village an endless supply of humor or what? I love the drunk guy that demonstrates power tools.

I've seen cleaner cuts made by beavers...

The video was the classic trainwreck -- horrible to watch, but you can't stop watching.

It's sort of a multi-way tie for awfulness: the commentary, the disregard for the safety of his fingers, using his knee to stabilize the floppy plywood... the list goes on.

On the other hand, it makes my feeble efforts look like Norm Abram. ;)

Thanks for the link!

The basis for the jig saw ratings appears to be popularity according to purchases made on Amazon. Most likely it was based on price not quality of product.

In the Sawsall video:
Apparently that expert had no idea what the presser foot is for, he was using a wide blade to cut a circle and his blade had too few teeth per inch for the material he was cutting.

Too funny. I couldn't agree more.

[Izzy Camire]

Yes but were the beavers in an angry mood?

When will a moderator step in and delete this filth? This is no place for these types of videos:D

Wow! I have been in error for years. Thank heaven I saw that video. I'm dumping all my Dewalt, Bosch, and Milwaukee tools and buying Black and Decker tools instead.

[Brian Penning]

Hmmm..they were smart not to allow comments below the video....grrrrr..

If you haven't already sprung for a bunch of the latest B & D power tools, you might hop on down to your local Harbor Freight store. They have jig saws in both orange and blue. You could probably have one of each color for not much more than a single B & D.

Another thing is they have a pretty good return policy. If you have your own business the mileage back and forth is tax deductible. Nothing like saving taxes with your tool purchases.

Hey, that sawzall vid was too cool !! hahahhahaahaha wow, it is sometimes amazing what some people think is worth making a video of. You'd think that after the first 2-3 times he had to stop they would have started over at least w/ a thicker piece of plywood (then again, maybe that was the 2nd or 3rd attempt ??)- criminy at least do it out of 3/4" stock so we can at least watch him make some smoke. I like how he's cussing under his breath as he fights with it. TOOO Funny ! It was like watching paint dry. Damn rookies

NOW for my opinion of the best use of spewtube - check out "the annoying orange" vids THATS some funny $hit

All the video is, is a feeder for their affiliate link to Amazon. I'm sure if you sort things on Amazon the order is (or was at the time) correct per their perspective.

I want my 2 minutes back.
