PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX* Jig Saw (PCC650B) and BOSCH T5002 T-Shank Jig Saw Blade Set

After having purchased ALL the porter cable 20v MAX lithium tools, and having used them from a range to very demanding, to extremely simple tasks, which involves routinely using them well past their intended run times and overall stress tolerances, I feel I can now make a justified review, based on their performances over the course of roughly a year.The Porter Cable 20V MAX PCC650 Jig saw is an exceptional tool that I have used hundreds of times throughout the course of the time I've owned it. The overall construction of the tool is very exceptional, especially given the price point. The handle is very comfortable like all the Porter Cable 20V MAX tools, it feels very similar to the PCC640 or PCC600 Impact or Drill respectively, except laid down 90 degrees.The Jig saw features a 3 mode Oscillation feature which controls whether the saw cuts very fast but not as clean, medium speed and medium cleanliness, or slow but very clean, all this is subject to the type, and quality of blades you are using of course (uses T shank blades). The angle adjustment is very simple to use, you just loosen the hex head fastener with the included allen wrench (has storage slot on saw) and adjust the angle the way you want. It also has a positive locking slot that allows you to quickly bring the saw back to a 90 degree cut.The trigger (on this and all variable speed tools in the lineup) is the perfect combination of sensitive and responsive. You have the ability to fully press the trigger for max speed, but you can also slightly press it for slow speed operation. I used the Jigsaw in tons of projects, from cutting very thin material, to cutting light gauge steel, to cutting huge cutouts out of homemade counter tops for 20 minutes straight and the saw never once complained.Keeping in mind that the tool is more "constant use" than say a drill or something where you drive the fastener/drill the hole and then stop, it does very well as far as battery life is concerned. In actuality it will seem as if it eats through it, but again that's because its constantly going when you're cutting. I have alleviated this issue by using one of my 4.0 amphr battery packs exclusively in this saw. You can definitely get by, by using a smaller battery, even the smallest 1.2 amphr battery would work fine.All in all the Porter Cable PCC650 20V MAX Jigsaw is a great tool, especially for the money. If you have previously invested in other tools in the lineup, or even if your'e just needing a cordless saw, I would highly recommend this tool.Be sure and checkout my Amazon profile for reviews on all 20V MAX Porter Cable tools.

Easy blade change lever.

Great QualityWorks really smooth. Plenty of power

I love this saw. When I noticed that Porter Cable looked like it was being phased out, I started buying these 20v cordless tools, and I am glad I did. I got this one in the mix of buying some other items, and without question, this tool gets the most use out of all of the items in this line I bought. Super powerful, easy to maneuver, LONG battery life, great cutting speed, fairly ergonomic and best of all, the price was phenomenal! I know the pro guys bash these PC tools lately and this line in general, but for something at the house, it is a home run! Don't know about longevity yet, but so far so good.

Works really well. I wish it had blade storage.

Pros:- Easy to use. Quick insert blade, insert battery from your 20v Porter Cable set and good to go- Safety toggle. Extra protection against accidental use.- 3 speeds allows for any project- Good battery usageCons:- Does not have an independent rotatable blade like some more expensive/corded models.Already had the 8 piece cordless set from Porter Cable and just added the jigsaw to my collection. Bought this to help the spouse cut custom Halloween decorations to put infront of the house out of 3/4" plywood. The tool did exactly what it needed to and allowed us to make rounded cuts for ghosts and tombstones. Tool cuts precisely and clean through 3/4" plywood with relative easy and was simple to use. Comes with 1 wood speed bit which worked for the project. You will want to consider getting some additional bits with your purchase. Good battery use as one standard battery on full charge was enough to cut multiple shapes on a single charge.

All good works as I expect Good service

All is good

Works great no problems

Funciona muy bien, el material con el que está hecho se ve de mediana calidad pero al estarlo utilizando funciona muy bien, lo único malo es que como dice en las especificaciones, no cuenta con baterías, pero fuera de eso es muy recomendable, lo he probado en trabajos pesados y ligeros sin ningún problema, muy buena compra y todo llegó bien y sin contratiempos

Works as expected without any malfunctions yet. I will update when it craps, if it does. Halloween '23 now.

Muy buena y prctica

Excelente producto
