Makita 4329/2 240V Orbital Action Jigsaw

Product Information

I've had/owned/used and killed cheaper power tools and I've come to the conclusion over the years that cheap tools, specially those that require power of some sort are cheap for a reason. They don't last or the product is updated in such a way that you cannot get parts for which means you have to throw it away and buy another cheap power tool.

I was so impressed with the old Makita drill/driver that I decided at that point to invest into future Makita gear for whatever job I required it to do. The Makita 4329 saw is a power tool designed for cutting various materials with precision and efficiency. With an output power of 450 W, this saw delivers a powerful performance, making it suitable for a wide range of cutting tasks. If it is a fine cut in wood or a straight one in plaster you're looking for without going as heavy as a circular saw, the jigsaw is a practical tool when it comes to carrying out simple work. Depending on the material to be processed, the product range also offers the right accessories, in addition to the machines themselves. For example, there are many different saw blades that can be used, just like with sanders & grinders. The differences in the sawblades are mostly size, width and coarseness of the prongs. A perennial example of this is the Makita 4329, which is always a popular choice. But how is it measuring up?
