Keep in mind Black and Decker and DeWalt are the same company. The Dewalt brand was revised in the 90s to design and market to the more professional and demanding user. The company is Stanley Black and Decker, which owns a number of brands including Porter Cable, and now Craftsman. Manufacturing of some of these brands is done by various OEM manufactures for the brand. This was a great overview. Thanks!
I had no idea, good share!
I had an inkling they were part of the same company. Thanks for the confirmation👍🏽
Black & Decker owns Porter Cable not DeWalt
@@johnnypanama081 he’s right black and decker owns dewalt and now porter and cable
Don't forget Irwin.
Yeah man, I'm impressed with the thoroughness of this report. I research the hell out of tools prior to buying a new one and you covered it all plus some good tips on saving money. Thank you
Thank you for the time comparing them side-by-side!
Great review!
Nice to see somebody who actually uses the tool they are reviewing instead of just doing an unboxing.
I was gonna buy a much expensive jigsaw but thanks to you I think I'll give the Black & Decker a chance.
Cheers!
Thank you. B&D is a solid choice to try out what the jigsaw does. You can always upgrade later.
Cheers!
good luck it is junk
@@promo130 care to elaborate? Also which would u recommend?
@@phonymontana4254 the milwaukee fuel
Thats a great jiqsaw, worth the money
Suggested in my feed and I'm happy it was. Very well made right down to the editing. Great comparison review
Just the review I needed! Thank you for all the time you put into this! I think I'll be opting for something more in the Dewalt price range.
Thanks for the descriptions and comparisons. I just bought myself a Black and Decker, because I am a true beginner in any kind of woodworking. It was nice to know that it is a solid tool. Thanks again!
Yes, the B&D will be absolutely fine for most jobs. Get good blades and don’t look back. Just be careful with the cord getting in the way. Thanks for watching!! I’m glad I was able to clarify any questions you had.
You won't regret it. And don't forget, in 1916 Stanley Black & Decker obtained the world's first patent for a portable power tool and also own DeWalt, so I think the company know what they're doing!
An excellent video. Both thorough and honest. Thank you for posting
Wonderful description and comparison ,thanks
Recently saw a guy make several cuts through an 6x6 beam with that B&D saw using a 10” Bosch blade. I laughed when I saw the B&D saw come out, and honestly expected it to catch fire lol. Took a while, but he did the cuts without any fuss from the saw what so ever.
And honestly… that is bananas performance from a $35 jigsaw.
Excellent Video, wisely explained, thanks 😊
Balanced presentation and evaluation. Thanks
Extremely informative thanks for the video.😊👍
I think the BD is probably all most DIYers would need.
My dad's 1967's cheap Black & Decker J saw out last his lifetime.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time
Very good, practical review. Thanks.
This is one of the best reviews of tools I have ever wathced. Keep making more videos like that.
Thank you! Your video helped me decide
Thanks
I’m going for Black and Decker
Good Explanation
My jigsaw was the first tool I ever owned. My stepdad bought it for me when I was 14. I did all sorts of stuff with that saw
Great review. Very honest!!
Hi bro! Thank you for your video. Really help me to choose a jigsaw!
Thank you it's very helpful :)
Looked at B&D featured in this review and bought Wen 33606 for about $8 more. Has a work LED and a laser cut guide, edge guide, vacuum port and dust blower, and blades (2). Shoe has a plastic no-scuff cover, and the bevel adjustment is secured by a hex bolt, not a screw. First use confirmed it doesn’t vibrate like my old HF. Tracked very well. Happy with the purchase.
Thanks for this comment!
Wonderful Review!!! Thank you very much.
Very informative video. At this stage, I will go with the hobbyist's option to start with. Thank you for this video!
Well explain you really help . Thank you
It is definitely the best explanation I have seen on youtube in terms of price and convenience. I've been looking for advice to see which one to invest in as a beginner and your video definitely gave me a very clear idea of which one would suit me best. Thank you very much and I hope you keep posting interesting videos like this one.
Great review!
Steve Ramsey recommends the Black & Decker in this Woodworking for Mere Mortals. It is nice to see another very knowledgeable source go into such detail to support an affordable product. Great review.
GREAT REVIEW!
Thanks you, I came here today to learn about the Black and Decker jigsaw for my 1st woodwork home project.
I am grateful for the information you shared, I am confident it will work wonders for me.
Very helpful, thanks
Thank you young man for your advice, your help and for you being you. Have a Blessed Day. Adios.
Thanks for your explanation on these saws ,very good i need a jigsaw only for doing home crafts so I'm going with the black and decker with the cord that would be a good fit for me thank you again you really help me made my decision
Wonderful review, it covers every single aspect of them ... thanx for sharing with us your knowledge about these tools ... I'm still undecided hahaha
Thank you.
The best one to start is the B&D.
While I don’t dispute that I love the Dewalt for its versatility and the speed it takes from “thinking of using it to having it all setup and ready to cut”. B&D requires a little more setup time.
I've had a Bosch electric barrel style for about 10 years and I hate it. Now that I have 5 or 6 Dewalt 20v tools this was a no brainer. Works great.
Hi!!! Thanks for the test
Thank you for this great video
On the dewalt in regards to vacuum, you can purchase an dust shroud adaptor and connect your vacuum. This helps when cutting counter tops.
Great review!!
Great video. Thank you.
Awesome I just purchased the black + decker
Great video! I just noticed this video this morning as I'm awaiting the delivery of my Black and Decker Jig Saw I purchased yesterday. I'm so glad I'm not disappointed in my selection. As long as I don't get a factory lemon I think this will be just fine.
Let me know how you like it.
I had to replace my old NiCad drill last year.. and and very pleased I spent NZ$99/us 70 on an 18v B&D drill/driver. Perfect for my home based needs.
I have beside me a 7 yr old Kawasaki jigsaw,,, 570w .. 18mm stroke and up to 3000cpm.... got it cashing in shopping coupons :-)) .. not my most used too,,,much prefer a well maintained bandsaw but def does the job....from NZ
Thank you so much for this video. I now know that I really want the DeWalt saw and not the B&D saw because I'd really like to be able to make bevel cuts easily. To have the control for that dependent on a screw that strips as easily as the B&D one is not something I want to mess with.
Wow! Youre amazing, subscribed
great review thank you i choose black and decker
I have the Dewalt. It make really clean cuts. I came from the very expensive hobby of photography. So spending $200 on a Sale also getting a battery and charger free seemed cheap for a quality tool. AS a home DIYer it should last a lifetime. But you also have the Bauer line at Harbour Freight. I find that the older you get, the less you want to mess around with "beginner" quality power tools.
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! This is so helpful to me and you did such a great job! Both appeal to me but the orange one would be more likely to be in my immediate wish list while the other I would save for. Prices are great!
great review thank you.
Thank you!
That was a great explanation! I would only use the jigsaw for small diy home projects…I’ll get the cheaper black and decker.
I’m just a home maintenance kind of guy and I always choose Ryobi… right in between the DeWalt and B&D in terms of pricing and performance, they’re super durable, supported by Home Depot, their batteries fit into about 200 different tools, plus the fluorescent green they come in make them very easy to keep track of in a project area👍
I’ve got a few Ryobi tools too. They are great.
Yeah once you buy any battery packs, it's not practical to buy any other tools that don't use the same batteries. I used an older model of this Black & Decker JS250 for years to cutout signs on plywood. Now I don't have a need for one, but it really depends on what someone can afford for this project. Not everyone can afford festool ofcourse. But the Milwaukee jigsaws are very good but still more expensive than a lot of people might need.
Bottom line, I would hesitate to use a jigsaw on anything that your circular saw can't manage. Which is basically just making scroll cuts.
Great review Thanks!
I have this Black and Decker model...almost new...used a couple times and loved it
Having a problem now with blade 'hopping out' of the roller support but still attached. Wondering if the blade lock fully engaged...blade feels secure when I change blade... and still in the lock even with blade outside the guide...??
Your thoughts would be appreciated! Thank You in advance.
Very informative video👌🏽 The only thing that would have made it even better is a birds eye view/ workers point of view from above, to see how much the wire guard obstructs the view and how far you have to lean over to see the cutting area.
Really nice review
I got a Black and Decker and I was proud of saving money for little jobs around the home. It broke after a couple of use. May be I was harsh with it, although I was much harsher with the Bosch (Once I broke a blade on it). I tried to fix the Black and Decker before borrowing the Bosch. I opened it up and saw that some parts are moved a bit around! I put them back into their place and it worked for another two minutes and then it broke again. So if you are rich enough to buy Black and Decker, Good luck! That was my experience.
thank you for the video
Good video, many tools are just not up to being cordless yet, a drill is awesome cordless, a circular saw not so much. A jigsaw is somewhere inbetween in the torque needed so was wondering if cordless was worth paying way more for. Good point about the gaurds and which one allows you to see the cut your making easily, so important and is a deal breaker for any tool but especially a jigsaw where small movements translate to large deviations. So is one that blows the dust away instead of dumping it all over your cut line.
Great video honest and perfect advice for beginner woodworkers :D like me ..
DeWalt also has a barrel-grip model. Choosing between the d-grip and barrel is one of personal ergonomic feel, but it's good to have that choice. Another factor to consider is that if you do go cordless, you're generally going to want to plan it around what battery system you want to buy tools in long-term, not just one or two tools.
Thank you!
Amazing review, and well-organized video!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
I really love your video
wifes in another state and sent her link to ur vid.. told her safer using jigsaw than skillsaw shes never used,lol thanks...
this is a great demo of two tools with obvious and not so obvious pros and cons. Price comparison is a big factor when choosing battery or wired tools in my case. I'm not interested in getting stuck in a brand because im sunk on batteries. Great review!
Have you done any comparisons with the somewhat newer cordless Black and Decker Jig Saw? I bought one because my Dad was a Black and Decker Guy and it is in my budget. Haven't used it yet but I really did like this video. Thanks!
Informative video with comparison. I'd go with B And D. By the way was the stroke depth with the default able to be faster than BD?
You are correct - Dewalt is a little faster. But if it’s not a tool for your daily work, the BD will get the job done (even though it might be a little slower).
Lol... Thanks for saving me money. Going for the jigsaw instead of the circular saw.Awesome review.
You bet
Could try rubbing some candlewax or beeswax on the metal base to make it easier to move and reduce scuffing. The plastic can still scratch ply surface. Orbital and bevel rarely used but may be worth trying it for mitre cuts.
About scratch the screw for B&D.. is it will effect the efficiency of the machine later?
I have an AEG and it came with an adjustable fence which is extremely useful for ripping. Do these jigsaws come with a fence?
More expensive tools are almost always a more satisfactory experience. The rub is this, if you don't need to use the tool often, the less expensive tool makes more sense (cents), use the savings on another piece of gear you need. I would go with the B&D.
I have the exact same Dewalt in the UK its the DCS334N, although quite expensive i have other cordless Dewalt so makes sense to use all my Dewalt batteries ,this jigsaw is pure class and very manoeverable.Another point is that every part on the Dewalt is replaceable.Residual value also is premium on the Dewalt.
I am not in the market for one as I have one that keeps on ticking, But I agree it is a great tool to have in the shop.
I waited for years to get one. Now it’s my go-to quick cut tool. I wish I knew about it earlier.
Thanks for watching!!!
Outlaw CRS Yes they certainly are a handy tool.
Great video, the BD jigsaws are the best value in power tools I would argue.
Thank you 😇
I have the Milwaukee M18 fuel barrel grip and it’s awesome
yes great review thank you... i own a black n decker curve control I only use it for small jobs and does the job for me :) in another review I saw that it can use both T and U blades and in Canada it sells for 55$ plus tax.. Oh Canada!
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
And you are correct. B&D can use both blades. I didn’t say it but it was shown in the spreadsheet graphic. It might have flashed too fast.
$55 for corded or cordless?
i have to cut a carbon plate 3mm thick with minor bend cut . Can I use a jigsaw? Wht blade in the case?
Absolutely brilliant video. Learnt a lot.
Haha, I was actually just trying to make this decision last week. I ended up going with the Black and Decker and it worked great for me.
10:10 this is the best thing. I can see the line of cutting. from here of position of camera I can see very well [black and Decker] I don't know why Dewalt not focus on this point!
I bought the brushless dewalt jigsaw a couple of months ago.. Ive used plenty of jigsaws and own a few others.. But this jigsaw is just next level good.. Cant say enough good things about it.. Glad I bought it..
Between those two jig saws, which one will give me finer cut under same conditions? Dewalt has 1 in stroke and B&D has 3/4 inch stroke.
Hey! Thanks for the demo! Can you give any indication about repairability? (I recently wanted to change the cord on an old Black&Decker saw and found out I needed a special connector that probably is no longer available at B&D.) Thanks!
What does it look like? May be a way around this problem. However even premium brands can have this problem when it comes to parts.
how do i select the orbital number for each project, type of wood?
Oh I think I understand about the scratches on the screw.. later on we cannot open or tight the screw, yes? So meaning we only have to use it for 90 degrees cut? 😢
The 90 degree precision is a vet important consideration that was missed out of this video.
I own a Jigsaw that I have to check is square before each use due to slack in the design.
Hi, your blade are diablo’s one, but the link you put is bosch blade, could you please give me the link or reference for the diablo’s blade ?
I'm getting a scroll saw for fine wood art but can I do same and cut smoothly with a high rpm jigsaw?😅😅😅😅 My old jigsaws are so rough cutting....😢 8:06 8:38
Some complaints I have seen about different jigsaws (including the B&D) is the blade is not at 90 degrees and therefore unable to make flush cuts. In the video both of these appear not at 90 degree. Is this really an issue, or I guess only an issue if you are trying to make flush cuts.
I have a black and decker corded...no problems with this power tool.
The black and decker really looked like it went further down than the Dewalt there in the beginning.
I just picked up a 20 year old Milwaukee jigsaw made in Germany brand new in the original Box for 60 bucks.
Just for your information, three years from this video, I purchased the DeWalt for $129.00
Please make review on circular jigsaw too.
I would choose the Makita!
I have the B&D in the corded version. Unfortunately the blade deflection is pretty bad on material over 1/4 inch. It drives me crazy at times. Thinking of upgrading to a better performance model, DeWalt or Milwaukee just for the better blade guidance
Do you push too hard on the jigsaw? If so, sometimes too much pressure will skew the blade to one side. Also the quality and thickness of the blade makes a huge difference, a thin and poorly sharpened blade will struggle whereas a thick, quality double cut blade will power through even thick wood. I prefer downcut blades for accuracy and less splintering to the faceside of the wood too.
A phrase I always heard years ago was 'Let the tool do the work'.
