    Service was great, product great, delivery quick but disappointing that you would put a label on the actual box – no packaging whatsoever so it completely spoiled the surprise gifts for a big birthday !!
    I didn’t want it wrapped but some form of packaging should be used surely?

    Great bit of kit, fantastic quality. No blade in box so if you’re buying this, buy blades at the same time

    This was my 5 purchase of a Ryobi ONE+ power tool and again not disappointed. Easy to use for all my home DIY jobs. Can’t wait for my next purchase.

    I bought this to replace a old mains Black& Decker that had developed a mind of it’s own and refused to switch off. I already had a Ryobi drill and sander so it made sense to go for another member off their One battery range. I’ve used it successfully to cut both straight and awkward shapes in an engineered wood floor and it’s been great. Very easy to use, safe, quick for and release of blades. It’s surpassed my expectations.

    Wie alle Ryobi-Gerte ist auch diese Stichsge von guter Leistung und eher mittlerer Haltbarkeit also eher kein Profi-Gert.
    Fr den Preis ist das aber sehr OK.
    Ich habe viele schlechte Erfahrung mit Bosch-Gerten gemacht. Deren Heimwerker-Gerte halten nicht besonders lang und weisen teils schon nach 20-30 mal Benutzung erste Schden am Getriebe oder Sgehalterung auf, genauso wie bei deren Bohrmaschinen.
    Ich habe ein Gert dieser Art schon seit 2 Jahren und benutze es oft. Bis jetzt noch kein Problem damit.
    Wichtig: normale T-Sgebltter sitzen nicht gut in dieser Maschine. Damit die Sge gut funktioniert Set von Ryobi nutzen, welches man auch hier bei Amazon kaufen kann.
    Bitte darauf achten, dass die Sgebltter von der Befestigung exaktgenauso aussehen, wie das mitgeleiferte Original-Blatt der Sge:

    I’m getting increasingly impressed with every Ryobi purchase I make and this Jigsaw wasn’t any different. Not much to say except it’s light enough to use with ease, but heavy enough that you know its built with decent quality materials. I got going in about 2 minutes after slotting the battery in and it has saved me hours of hand sawing already. I’ve also got the nailgun – the best cordless tool I’ve purchased.

    Another addition to my Ryobi kit. The problem with jigsaws is the mains cable. With a freshly charged battery this made using a jigsaw to cut out sink hole in a kitchen worksurface fast and easy. Love it!

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersIt’s a useful tool but I suspect I asked too much of it.

    Pros:
    Cordless jigsaw is convenient, although it carries a price premium.
    Multiple cutting settings are easy to configure and make a real difference to the behaviour of the saw.
    T-shank fitting makes it quick and easy to fit blades and there’s plenty of choice in blade type and manufacturer.
    Pretty efficient – you’ll get a lot of cuts from a single charge.

    Cons:
    The back-pressure spring on the blade doesn’t provide enough pressure for many of the thinner blades (by which I mean from cutting edge to back of blade) which are the ones you want for cutting tighter curves. I’ve had blades hop off the retainer spring and even had one untwist itself from the t-shank fitting. This was cutting 12mm laminate.
    Add to this the tendancy of jigsaw blades to wander left or right and accuracy overall is poor.
    Cutting a 5cm thick piece of timber, the deflection can exceed 1cm between where the blade should have come out and where it does on the reverse side. Not a problem for the job I was doing, but would be signficant if you were (for example) cutting a sink rebate in a worktop.

    Overall, it’s done the job, but I wouldn’t want to rely on it for cutting anything that absolutely has to be true first time, every time.

    No allen key to change blade is why I give this product 5 stars,its simple and quick to change a blade and its motor seems fine.
    Only drawback is all Ryobi batteries are very expensive,take ages to charge and die very quickly.
    Ok for DIY,but not great for a tradesman.

    Golden Review Award: 17 From Our UsersI’m at an age when I remember when power tools were something to be held in awe by starry eyed DIY’ers back in the 1970’s when I was a child. One advert has stuck in my mind since then which, was the Black and Decker advert for a jigsaw that is used to replace practically every tool available.

    Of course, this is nonsense as a jigsaw is a useful but limited device — and a perfect item for cordless use.
    First off let’s be clear here that a jigsaw does not negate the need for other cutting tools because frankly they are hopeless if you are trying to cut a straight line even with an edge to run against. If you are cutting thick materials, then you had better prepare yourself for a lot of hand planning afterwards because the cut will not be vertical. Those jigsaw blades bend and deform like a blade of grass in thick boards.

    But, every now and again you need to cut a curve or an odd shaped hole when creating your Grand Design and for that purpose a jigsaw is king.

    Even better one that does not have a cord to get in the way and just make life miserable. And the lack of a cord really works for this Ryobi tool because the way a jigsaw works means you don’t need a massive amount of torque which, is dependent upon voltage. Thus the 18V One+ battery — the 5AH one I used — is easily hefty enough for most of a day’s work using the jigsaw. That lack of power cord is such a wonderful thing because it makes this tool ten times more versatile.

    The actual tool is well made from high quality materials. I say that being an owner of Ryobi tools for ten years over which, I’ve noticed a gentle increase in quality, range and target audience. When I bought my first Ryobi tool it was super cheap and cheerful and aimed just above the bargain bin level. Now? It’s easily the match of decent mid-range stuff from the likes of Bosch and DeWalt. The plastics used are high end glass reinforced stuff and the manufacture is very good giving you a robust tool that will last quite a bit of abuse. I know. I’ve been beating mine to death for ten years on a renovation project and my original hard shiny plastic Ryobi drills are still working perfectly despite having been dropped from the roof on more than one occasion.

    And there is probably a reason for the increase in quality — and price Ryobi is made by Techtronic Industries of Hong Kong who also own Milwaukee, AEG, Hoover and quite a few other higher end brands. No one is telling me that in the same factory they are making tools with entirely different components. From what I can see and feel, there is little to differentiate between Ryobi and Milwaukee apart from the eye searing yellow.
    The plus side of the Early Learning Centre colour of the tool is that it’s easy to find

    Best of all the batteries. They are big and bulky no doubt about it when you get the higher amp versions. But, they last well. I have one battery that despite being charged routinely for over ten years is still working well. In use they last just as long as Makita ones of similar AHr rating when I compare to my son’s tools who has his own business as an electrician.

    In hand this jigsaw feels strong and has a bit of weight when a battery is fitted. This is a ‘Good Thing’ as it helps dampen out the vibrations and makes cutting easier.

    There are four settings for the blade cutting — which simply boil down to how much the blade swings back and forth. There are little pictograms showing you which to choose but it’s not rocket science. The softer materials work well with the blade vibrating back and forth but as you get into the harder stuff like oak and then metals you simply dial that back or stop it.

    The blades fit without requiring any tools which, to be fair most are today. Still, it’s nice to not have to worry about having the correct screwdriver with you.

    Overall this is a great tool for the money if you have already bought into the Ryobi One+ battery system. It works well, is strong and cuts decently for a jigsaw without the aggro of a power cord.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersBought this a while ago but after checking it worked I didn’t get a chance to use it until recently. What a disappointment! The blade skewed off to the left and moved about in the grip so the only way I could try to cut a straight line was to use it at an angle. Gave up and used another jigsaw and decided to investigate when I had more time. Just done that and discovered it wasn’t the jigsaw but the blade. The first blade I used just happened to be about half a millimetre too wide at the part that locks into the grip, so it didn’t lock in and moved around. Every other blade I tried was straight and didn’t move, and I’ve just used it to cut a straight line by hand. Very happy with it now, but if you do have the same problem it’s most likely the blade.

    Bought into the Ryobi family, and so pleased with this jigsaw. Solid weighty and well made. It cuts nicely, and with the speed control it give you good control. Of coarse the lack of a cord, really makes life easier.
    The 10 TPI blade that comes with it gives a very clean cut in 28mm contiboard.
    I’m using 5 Amh non original batteries and charger, much cheaper and excellent performance. Yes I’d recomend, and the colour is great to with the 100+ battery , think this system will be around for a while.

    Great bit of kit. Another addition to my Ryobi ONE+ collection. Simple to set up and get going. Comes with a single blade which so far has worked well. I’m a novice DIY’er, but it’s so simple to use that I’ve started cutting mitred corners using the ability to change the angle of the foot. Would definitely recommend.

Well made, LED light is very useful and has plenty of power for my home DIY projects. I managed to saw through 2″ thick wood along the 5′ edge of a fencing panel without too much difficulty which I did not expect.
    With the 5 amp batteries it is a little heavier than a corded saw but not too heavy.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersBloody brilliant.

    First time diyer here and needed something to cut a few boards down to size. It was a toss up between a circular saw and a jigsaw and I’d heard horror stories of jigsaws and the wiggly wavy lines they make and the rough cuts but this little thing, rocks.

    I bought a 5AH battery as a separate item to go with it and the thing made very short work of double melamine coated 18mm chipboard including a short length of the same chipboard along with the underlying 18mm compressed bamboo top of my workmate after a bit of a clamping mishap.

    Set to pendulum level 3, squeeze the trigger, engage the workpiece and slow… The LED light lit my pencil lines just great, and while the blower feature is a bit weedy, it worked enough to let me follow my marks.

    So the cons… Well the biggest one is that this is the older model. A fixed pressed steel base, that allows you to do mitre cuts but requires you to use an Allen key that requires a knight of Camelot to release it from the on-tool storage, only one who is true of heart may use the key, or someone with the strength of a professional tug of war team, that thing just does not want to budge if it’s inserted in there.

    It would be nice if Ryobi actually wrote the year or model variation/version number in the description of the item. So if you want brushless, height adjustable/bladesaver, and toolless angles… Buy the 130ish one.

    Otherwise this one is basic but does the job just great.

    Used this for general DIY & a building project. Very impressed with it. This cuts twice as fast as my old Ryobi corded jigsaw & the battery life is excellent with a 5mh battery. Someone said this doesn’t cut straight but I’ve had no issues at all in 18mm chipboard free hand. The only negative thing I have to say is with a 5mh battery it’s a bit heavy but that’s kinda expected.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersCuts well in both MDF and plywood but have not yet used it on anything more substantial. Key to performance is using the correct blade which is in good condition. No scrolling function so tight corners can be a little awkward. Has a lazer guide for straight lines but would you be using a jigsaw for straight cuts? Comfortable to use and a 5.0aH battery lasted just over 3 hours before requiring re-charging. A good addition to the Ryobi collection.

A good addition to the Ryobi collection.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersBought to build a woodstore from pallets and for other future products. From my use it seems well made. It was easy to install the blade and the speed adjuster works well. The One+ battery system is great. I can share batteries between all my tools making buying new ones cheaper as you only need the tool and not pay for an expensive battery at the same time. Being cordless is a HUGE advantage. Highly recommend this and the One+ system.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersLike all One+ tools you get this without battery or charger so make sure you have already bought a starter kit that includes those items or purchase them separately. If you have already invested in the ryobi infrastructure they this is a good option for a jigsaw. Powerful and fast. I do wish it had a cutting guide option, better dust blower and that the blade was held exactly parallel to the foot plate but it gets the job done and is a solid tool.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI own several Ryobi One+ tools now and I would state that they may not have the full clout that a mains driven version has, but they come damn close with a good battery on them! There is no getting away from the pleasure and ease of not having a dozen power cables snaking around your work and having to keep swapping the plugs around when you usually only have four sockets at best.

    Works as expected, Would recommend the larger batteries for anything more than a few cuts.

    Golden Review Award: 33 From Our UsersI think there’s been a lot of adverts showing off the Ryobi one range and it legitimately is handy to have all these tools that only use one lot of batteries, having said that I still like to have more than one just in case one runs out. Especially on some of the tools, needless to say the more you use it the quicker battery runs out so you need two charged ready for big jobs ideally…unless you spread the work over a couple of days.

    The tool itself is good and comes with a couple of blades ( i bought extra but have predominately used the ones in the box). Both the unit and the blades seem of good quality and i think it’ll have good longevity to them. The saw has multiple speed settings dependant on the material and its quite easily to switch this up or down. I’d say all in all its quite a decent piece of kit.

    would advise a 3 AH battery i used a 1.5 AH it did the job but would sometimes struggle. this is the first time i have had a cordless jigsaw and has opened my eyes and now i Owen quiet a few Ryobi one items and so glade i took the plunge.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is the first jigsaw I have used, so I was keen to make sure I knew exactly what to do with it before testing it out. It comes with a leaflet with some multi-language basic safety information, but the detailed instructions (ie its functionality, what all the knobs do) are just diagrams. Fine if you are familiar with jigsaws, but I would not have felt confident putting the blade in, for instance.

    Fortunately my Dad who knows about these things was around to advise, and we worked it out. But really, this should not have been necessary. Fair enough having diagrams for your exercise bike or lego set, but not with something that could cut your fingers off if you make a mistake.

    I haven’t got anything else to compare it with, but it did the job, and is a very useful gadget. Am still rather scared of it though, especially as there is no safety mechanism to stop it running if you pick it up and accidentally hit the power button. As a precaution I take the battery out whenever I’m not using it.

    It would also have been good if it had come with a case, as storing it in its cardboard box is not ideal. But I guess at 60 you can’t have everything!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersCome on Ryobi, I blame you, why did you not tell me I needed this years ago, it has been used every day since purchase and would already (7 days later) be happy if it died it has more than done its job, just beware when changing blades, it is enthusiastic at ejecting the old blade and if your workshops are in the same state as mine it can be difficult to find them if you are not watching .

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersGreat jigsaw – very comforting in hand and accurate cuts – being from Ryobi – I already have the batteries and so that keeps the cost down too. I would say that this is not as good as my old Dewalt that was stolen, but at half the price – it is more than 1/2 as good and therefore for the times I use it (keen DIYer not a pro) it is perfectly adequate.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersNew toy arrived this morning to replace my deceased wired Bosch. On first trial it seems far more powerful.

    Since no other reviewer seems to mention the out of the box experience….here we go.

    It does take normal T blades. Although the two supplied wood blades look totally different, with a little U cutout at the top and a hole in the top section. T blades do fit fine (she says after buying the recommended Ryobi set after doubtful comments on these reviews). It’s all to do with the fitting method. First of all REMOVE THE BATTERY. Turn the black lever on the shank until it lines up with the front and shove the blade in firmly before you release. It is possible to push the lever too far over to insert the blade. If you are taking a blade out, grip it before you turn the release button or the spring will shoot it a short distance.

    It needs storing without the battery IMHO for safety.

    Speed is the plus minus button, with three settings
    Angle is the 0 to 3 setting, with some helpful pictures on the drill body to adjust to the material being cut.
    The allen key to adjust the foot is stored at the back of the drill.

    I can’t see an anti splinter guide available….its a big hole to fill.
    I was however able to attach my old Bosch cutting guide easily. It has a 9mm wide rule and a little clamp with a screw and two claws that grip the edge of the jigsaw foot/shoe. The Ryobi one looks to be the usual unobtainable spares.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is quite a powerful jigsaw when used with the larger capacity battery.It lasts ages… I would give it 5 stars if the dust blower worked. It was hard to see the line with the dust build up. I’m not sure if this a faulty product or that it’s ineffective.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI’d recommend to anyone looking to replace their old one plus jigsaw to look at this model. The improvements include a redesigned blade holder, this is a vast improvement on the old design. The other improvement is a fan blower to clear dust from the site line. at first this sounded like a gimmick and some reviewer haven’t been impressed but it actual does work, so long as you go a tiny bit slower. sure beats leaning over the work puffing away. It’s just a shame they did away with the laser.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersWhat a great product I have been using it only for 3 weeks but almost every day because I am redecorating my house. Ryobi doing good stuff but it’s dwaining the battery too quick (1.5 amp) it’s only small as jigsaw needs more power compare to ryobi impact drive I have. Really nice product the looks and feels great using it. But this review its for a month old jigsaw I don’t know how it will turn out in a year time.
