After much deliberation between this jigsaw and the Bosch GST150 BCE, I chose the Makita due to some negative reviews of the Bosch as compared to the previous models.The Makita 4350FCT was packaged adequately by Amazon and came within a purpose built Makita tough case. Included in the case was the dust extraction adaptor, 3 sets of jigsaw blades (2 pairs of wood cutting blades and a pair of metal cutting blades) and a plastic shoe for the base plate.The jigsaw has a soft start mechanism which avoids jolts if having to restart in the middle of work and is not that noisy compared with other cheapy jigsaws. The grip is comfortable to hold and good control of the jigsaw is possible.

Wow. Gotta say I am seriously impressed with this Jigsaw. As ever Makita's build quality is superb and it is beautifully balanced so although it is quite a heavy piece of kit it handles easily and cuts just so smoothly. I previously had a fairly old Bosch which has done good service but was just getting too worn to give a decent cut anymore - I recently had to trim down some 2 x 4" lengths and the Bosch just couldn't keep the cut straight, but this Makita went through it like the proverbial hot knife through butter - what a difference! I have so far used mine to cut several types and thicknesses of wood, and it literally flies through each task. It has been a pleasure to use,

I've used this jigsaw day-in, day-out and it's simply one of the best out there. It's so reasonably priced for what it is. Really comfortable to use, good power and really easy to control. It keeps the sawdust away from the cutting line, and the T-top blades are held really securely making it cut rally accurately. It has a bit more ooomph than the LXT version otherwise I would've gone for it... sometimes I still wish that I had.I guess the power cord is the only limitation of the tool but even it is the usual Makita high quality, memory-less cable that rolls up nice and tidy and is a good length. Mine came with a no-marr base plate cover which I find invaluable. I can't imagine how anyone could improve it...

The last jigsaw I had ( some 25 years back ) was a Black and Decker, so not much to be said there. I decided I needed another, so being aware of Makita's good reputation I took the plunge. Without doubt this is a quality bit of kit. Smooth, powerful and very well put together. Just what you'd expect for a Tradesman quality tool, and of Makita of course. I used this corded version for a while and then went on to buy the cordless version. Even better, with no cables to get in the way. As for the rest, just re-read what I have already written......

Feels quality, have put it through its paces both hardwoods and soft, and going right up to 90mm fenceposts which it managed using a longer blade. Paying more for orbital action is worth it in my opinion as it just seems to provide more cutting grunt. Came with Makita case and spare blades which is nice. Only complaint (and it's a minor one) is the dust extraction attachment is attached by fairly flimsy tabs that have worn with the vacuum hose pulling on them. Besides that, nice piece of kit. It will cut!

Not a professional carpenter but more of a pro DIY. Been looking for a new jigsaw. Have had a variety of tools from different makers, but am a big fan of Makita. They are just so much more solid than other tools. Might be more expensive but you do get what you pay for.It is a great solid piece of machinery. My only 'gripe' is that the box for the jigsaw will be a snug fit once you open it. The cord and machine are hard to get back into it in the original 'packaged' condition.

Replaced my old B&D. Since I was about to fit a new kitchen (DIY), I though it warrantied spending a bit more. I read a number of reviews and held several makes in tool shops. This one felt nicest and price was good. So much better quality than some other makes. Superb in operation, accurate cuts, etc. Will probably out last me. I also own a Makita 18v Combi drill (again replaced a B&D), and can recommend this make for competent DIYers and professionals alike.

decent tool, but was slightly miss led by other comments , stating it's power. good at cutting anything under 30mm but does take a little longer to go through 40mm worktops and 4x2. very comfortable to use , and a really gentle slow start that helps a lot , overall this is a very good product , but it is not as powerful as my old bosch GSI.

it feels strong and works as you would expect from a quality tool. the controls are precise and the soft start is a great feature. it is heavy which is great when used upright but may not suit everybody when used a lot upside down.Handy light and dust remover . I didn't get the guide with mine but I will be getting one.

When my Bosch (green) jigsaws gearbox failed I bought this hoping it would last a bit longer .. but it is actually a different tool. The finished cut is a good as a circular saw and it is smooth to operate. The Boschs cut always looked like a mad beaver had been at it ... you get what you pay for ...

Up to now I find it has performed even better than I first expected.It is very robust and with an extra lomger saw bladeI am able to accurately cut larger thicknesses of wood. One of my hobbies is woodcarving and for cutting preciselythrough thick pieces it is ideal

Great jigsaw. Cuts at 90 degree angle with correct blade and easy enough to get a reasonably straight line. Good soft start. Very easy blade insertion. Replaced an hitachi one which was rubbish. No comparison between the two.

I bought this jig saw as I decided to replace our carpets with laminate. This saw saved me so much time, was easy to use, and more importantly control the cut. If you are doing a similar job then I would recommend it

Excellent smooth start and LED spotlight feature. Handles well and feels as if it has plenty of power in reserve. Being able to change blades without having to find the special tool my old Bosch required is a boon.
