Have had one for several years. Great $20 deal. Going to see what better ones can offer.

I just picked up one of these up. It makes a kind of knocking noise when running. Does yours do this…is this normal? I have a vintage Craftsman that is silent except for the motor running.

I just bought one 1 hour ago. Read the manual. 20% off and 30 pieces of Bauer T-shank shank blades. Thanks for your review. I can use it for my hobbies rather than using manual blades by hands.
Quick release for blade and Angle piece with Allen wrench and a guide.

can it cut steel if you go slow?

I’ve had mine for about 2 years and have used it quite a bit. Its a really great jigsaw for $30. Using the Bosch t shank blades really increases the performance.

What amp is this one
Mark Sanderson March 23, 2022 at 6:26 pm
just bought this saw and so far it works out. only thing I can’t figure out is the "dust chute" or "dust blower". Am I supposed to hook up a shop vac on blower mode to it? it didn’t seem like it blew the dust from the cutting line on its own. help?
Tc_kidsoloon March 23, 2022 at 6:32 pm
you can get can like Milwaukee Makita Bosch Irving or DeWalt T shank blades and they will make this run like a professional jigsaw

I got one of these saws but I quickly found out that I would need longer blades. It sits higher up on its base than one I used before I got it. The good news is that I don’t expect a Harbor Freight power tool to last long so that would be a good excuse to get a good one when that cheap thing dies finally. When you buy their brand power tools they are very cheaply made and not made to last. Even the screw drivers they give away if you have a coupon are junk. I used one of those flat tip screw drivers just one time and the tip of it twisted while I tried to remove a screw in something. I would expect something similar to happen with the Philips screw drivers too except that it might ruin some screw heads and make them difficult to remove. That was the first and last time I used those screw drivers. I threw them away!! I never saw that happen with any other screw drivers. My guess is they were either cheap steel or not heat treated but no matter how you look at it they were absolutely 100% useless! If you buy things there hold onto that receipt because you get what you pay for and might need that receipt to get a refund. I would rather spend the extra cash for a better tool.

I had to cut a 2×4 into a funny shape yesterday and it could barely cut it i didn’t habe anything else i could use
Craig Monteforteon March 23, 2022 at 6:49 pm
pretty decent little saw for 30 bucks professionally i’ve always been fond to using the Bosch 101 BF blades they are T shank and will cut almost anything from plastic, Woods ,and even some metals like light steel i’ve used them to also cut a occasional 2×4 as well although that is maxing out their length capacity i did Commercial Architectual Woodworking professionally for over 20 years and typically we all used Bosch Jigsaws to cut in the field i have several of those and they hold up quite well many similarities to the Harbor Freight one you use in the video although the Bosch price tag is around 5 times more expensive retail ? i’ve seen many countertops cut with them with good success

My blade won’t stay in. It’s brand new.
Karen Hauckon March 23, 2022 at 6:55 pm
Fairly useless. He showed the obvious things, but not really anything of real use. Sometimes can’t even see what he’s doing and trying to explain. A waste of my time.
Review of the Harbor Freight Jigsaw 69582 with a 10 tpi blade. Blade bought separately.
