Performance notes

Corded power means consistent stroke speed without battery drain, which matters for a jigsaw making long or repeated cuts. At 3 pounds the JS470E stays light enough for one-handed guiding through curved or straight cuts, with the alloy steel components adding durability at the moving parts.
