My plumber texted me that while he was in Home Depot getting the parts he needed for my house, his van was broken into and they stole most of his Milwaukee tools. Shit just doesn't stop.

That was my backup plan. They had the M12 for $99 with a free battery but it was only a 2.0Ah and I have plenty of those. I need some 4.0Ah M12 batteries.That is a good deal. I have one of their M12 jig saws. Works well enough for the few times I have needed it.
I had the same problem with my B&D jigsaw. It didn't have the power needed to cut through plywood anymore.Have to build some decorations for the wedding this weekend and my 20 year old cheap B&D jigsaw is just about as fucked as one can get so I was looking to upgrade. Saw the M18 one for $200 but wasn’t willing to spend that much for a bare tool. Then saw that HD had it as a special buy this week for $169 with a free 5.0Ah battery so I ordered it.

Pickup some Diablo blades for it.M18 jigsaw showed up today. They shipped it and the battery separately and the battery still doesn’t show to have left the warehouse. No big deal though because I have batteries to get me through my needs this weekend. This thing feels great, though a little heavier than I expected with the 5.0 battery in it. Oh well, 99% of the time I’ll be using it it’ll be resting on whatever material I’m cutting so I guess it doesn’t really matter. Wish it had come with a case though. I’ll have to wait for a deal to come around on a PackOut case that will fit it and pick one up.
They're not too bad cost wise but they last. The Dewalt blade that came with mine made it a few cuts and then was toast.Yeah, those Diablo blades are spendy but are nice.
