4340FCT Jigsaw Review

This jigsaw from Makita has a handy LED and a removable no-mar base

By Andy Engel

The Makita 4340FCT is a solid performer with a handy LED. Its middle-of-the-road pricing is attractive, and its size and agility make it a good choice for those with smaller hands. The removable no-mar base is a nice feature, as is onboard tool storage. Vibration is minimal.
