While its not super high on my priority list, I've been tossing around the idea of replacing my Dewalt jigsaw. Since purchasing it a year ago, I've been fighting the sole-plate staying locked in place and blade changes; therefore, I try and avoid using it as much as possible.
After reading of all the benefits of Festool, demoing them at Woodcraft and seeing them used by Tom Silva of This Old House and occassionally by David Marks, I've decided that the jigsaw will be my first Festool Purchase.
I am trying to decide between the barrel grip and the D-handle grip. Every other jigsaw I've used has the d-handle grip. However, it seems the barrel grip would be more comfortable and easier to control. Being that I've never really used one, I'd like to hear everyones' personal preference and any pro's or con's of each grip style.
As usual, thanks for the feedback. This is the best WW site on the internet.
