 Quality not in product, questionable shipping January 6, 2007

Reminds me of a tent sale tool. The reviews of the plastic being of poor quality is true. I received as a gift and units plastic was broke inside the box when I opened it. If the tool can't make the trip from the company to the buyer without breaking how are you going to use it without breaking. Also will pay closer attention to 3 party vendors selling through Amazon. Even though the tool was broke in the package I have to pay shipping back. This is just stupid. I can understand paying shipping if I was returning a tool that was perfect for refund, but not for RMA. So 59.95 with 10.70 ship plus 10.70 to ship back, 81.00 for a 59 tool.
Tried to email for an RMA and email was BOUNCED first time tried the next day and I did get a very courteous reply back along with a prompt RMA. I have purchased many items from Amazon since 1998 and never have had a purchase leave as sour a taste. This was an marginal tool that was costly to receive, the only company that made money was the shipping company. If the return tool arrive damaged it goes in the trash I won't pay 3 times for shipping. I would do better buying items from ebay.

To the credit of Grizzly and without my asking Grizzly refunded my shipping cost of the broken product back to them. Thank You for the refund and this update is to document that refund.
 Substantial saw December 21, 2005

This is a substantial saw. For those of us who grew up with the old sabre/jig saws running an amp or two, this one is a revelation. It is big, powerful, and smooth. It has a dust blower that works and adjustments for cutting different materials. It is easy to cut straight lines and follow curves without blades wandering or angling. Blade retention is solid, and blade changing is a matter of loosening a screw, twisting the blade a quarter-turn, and pulling it out. Reviews of other saws indicate that the newer 'quick release' blade retention systems are more trouble-prone. The Grizzly saw's system is bullet proof. The saw came with several blades, and I have no problem with them. I'll buy Bosch blades when the Grizzlies are dull. Finally, I have used other Grizzly tools for years and have always appreciated their customer service. You won't be disappointed with this tool.

If you need a saw for projects around the house and don't want to spend too much this is the saw for you. Make sure you buy some good blades for it and your projects will be easy.

This saw is a knock-off and virtually identical to the Bosch 1587, which I bought a few years ago. As was noted in an earlier review, the finish is not "perfect" but after a few hours of use what jig saw would be?
This saw has a feel just like the Bosch and plenty of power to cut through anything you'd care to try.
The older style, screwdriver blade change system is different but not difficult. Be sure to wear gloves with any blade. I have much more confidence that the blades will stay in than with the "newer" Bosch system.
I wish that I had bought this instead of the Bosch from the start. It costs less than half what they want for the 1587 and newer models.
The Hobby Knife set is a nice bonus but don't buy this saw for the bonus. Buy it for the power, performance and PRICE!
