Of course, it's a jigsaw. Among the other obvious things... It's very
light, small, and cheap. It wont take off your fingers. It wont shoot a
board into your chest. Blade changes take about four seconds. Blades are
dirt cheap. Blades cut much thinner. You can cut curves. Dust
collection is easier.

40 dollar jig saw can do the same thing, is much more portable and
easier to use. AND yes it can take off your fingers, just not as fast as
some other saws.


The beauty is being able to cut small pieces, which a hand held jig saw
cannot do easily.
