Professional orbital action jigsaws, also known as pendulum action jigsaws, are ideal for long straight cuts in wood. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, I hope you'll find something that gets you excited about using your own tools or perhaps tools you never heard about. It shares a number of specifications with its competitor, making it one of the toughest comparisons I have had to do in recent times. It too has an 18V brushless motor that is combined with a variable 6-speed control dial and 3 orbital settings. These tools are supplied without a battery or charger and more often than not without any accessoires.

This cordless model from a great brand caught my attention thanks to the initial specifications, which I found impressive at first sight. The brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demand of the application, and eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and efficiently for longer life. the DJV182Z is also lightweight and the compact design is enhanced by an ergonomic soft grip to lessen fatigue and add comfort. Most tradesmen will agree that the tools with this type of brushless motors are well worth spending that bit extra on. The variable speed trigger with its lock-on facility also ensured that I had the perfect settings for the perfect cut.The charger also has an inbuilt fan to help cool the batteries, allowing for faster charging and preventing issues due to overheating.

These products are ideal for those with professional requirements such as cabinet makers and woodworkers.It too comes with a locking mechanism for the trigger to allow you to hold the variable speed trigger in a fixed position for steady cuts. It also has a dust blower to clear the cutting line, improving visibility when the machine is in operation. We recommend it highly and I expect it should last a lifetime and be something you will love to use time after time. The top handle jigsaw is the more common and, as the name suggests, have a handle on top of the body.

This was one of the reasons that I preferred this model over other products available in the market. After owning and testing the DJV182Z for over a year, I felt I was capable of writing an honest owner’s review of the product.It has a maximum cut of 135mm in wood, 10mm in steel and 20mm in aluminium making this a versatile power tool.
