New LED light illuminates work surface while powerful dust blower clears debris from cutting path.

The lock-on variable speed trigger and vibration absorbing elastomer handle provide excellent user control and comfort.

The cast aluminum, nickel plated base plate pivots up to 45 degrees for special applications and leaves the work surface scratch-free.

Hitachi’s CJ110MV variable speed jig saw features four stages of orbital action, a simple tool-less blade changing system, front-mounted LED light, and a powerful dust blower -- all packaged in a lightweight tool designed with Hitachi’s signature aggressive, ergonomic style. Backed by Hitachi’s industry leading 5-year warranty, the CJ110MV is ideal for users who demand a reliable tool that handles easily without scrimping on the high-end extras.

Equipped with a powerful 5.8 amp motor, this jig saw has more than enough strength to power through the toughest materials with ease. The electronic speed control maintains consistent strokes per minute (SPM) even as the workload varies, and the variable speed trigger even lets you lock the speed setting, so you'll never suffer from numb, weary fingers during those extra-long jobs.

The CJ110MV's 4-stage orbital action provides consistent, accurate and efficient cuts -- and the tool-less blade changing system is quick and easy, so it never slows you down and keeps work flow interruptions to a minimum. An industrial strength clamp provides a secure lock on the blade and the cast aluminum, nickel-plated base plate offers solid support for cutting while leaving the work surface scratch-free. The base plate bevels 45 degrees in each direction to better accommodate a wide variety of cutting applications.

Hitachi’s distinctive design incorporates ergonomic considerations to make the tool easier and more comfortable to use than ever before. Weighing in at only 4.9 pounds, it’s the lightest in its class. The lightweight design maximizes maneuverability and decreases user fatigue so you can keep on cutting until the job is done, no matter how long it takes. The D-shaped handle with a patented elastomer coating has a secure non-slip grip that absorbs vibration for user comfort and exceptional control.

Content: Hitachi CJ110MV 5.8 Amp Top Handle Variable Speed Jig Saw
Saw felt balanced and worked well for about, oh, ten hours. Then the assembly that holds the blade fell out. Of course, it was attached by screws which had long since shaken loose. Even if I could have found them, they would be incredibly difficult to reattach.

In addition, their "keyless" blade system is tricky to use and does, in fact, not last for more than say, ten hours of work. I usually expect more of Hitachi tools. They must have been asleep when they designed this one.
Summary: worked well for a month

Content: This jigsaw is well built and fairly well balanced. The motor on mine gave out at about 11 1/2 months but no problem - it comes with a 5 year warranty and there are service centers all over (even in RI, which can't be said for alot of other major brands).

Someone mentioned there's no variable speed at the trigger. This is true but who cares? Maybe with a drill you want to start off slowly, but with a saw, if you start off slowly, you're gonna splinter whatever your cutting. And anyhow, the speed adjust wheel in front is unbelievably simple to use.

Overall, this saw is a great value for the money. Especially with the outstanding warranty.
Summary: nice jigsaw

I have had a varity of jig saws in the past and I have to say this is the
best one I have ever had it works great.
Summary: Wonderful tool

Content: I needed a new jig saw. I knew my 25 year old jig saw would not be capable of cutting the Brazilian hardwood we were using for our new deck. The jigsaw was necessary because of the semi-circular stairs my wife and I had decided would look neat coming off our deck.

It was only a total of four steps, but it was much more complicated than we expected. The jig saw cut through the hardwood easily and smoothly, without the severe shaking I expected from my old jigsaw. Changing the blades was easier too. While the whole unit was heavier and larger than the old one, the handle fit my grip perfectly so that I could work for hours without tiring the muscles of my hands or wrist.

A good buy!
Summary: Outperformed my expectations

Content: The quality of this Jigsaw can't be beat at this price. Excellent power with a cast metal base that is flat and true. Just dont expect variable speed at the trigger. This saw has a seperate knob to vary speed. I have used Dewalt units and you just don't get that much more for your money.
Summary: Great value
