Two big flaws.
I'd say that this jigsaw is virtually indistinguishable from the corded version. In fact, it may work a little better. I noticed that the blade seemed to cut straighter on the 20 volt. Unfortunately, there two big flaws. One is that the blower, which keeps the sawdust away from the blade and out of your line of sight, does not seem to have any effect, AT ALL. That's a shame, because it means that you're constantly blowing on your cut line. It could also use an LED shining on the cut line. It seems that all the other Dewalt 20V tools have LEDs. Why not this one?
Update: After another few months of using this jigsaw, I've had to downgrade it to two stars. The lack of effective blower is a killer. If you can't see the line on a jigsaw, then you can't make an accurate cut. It's mind-boggling to me that no one caught this flaw in the design process.
