The Makita 4329K jigsaw is a very good tool for a home kit. Of course, it is hardly suitable for professional activities - the power is not very good. At the same time, it is suitable for cutting almost all materials that may be needed during repairs.
The advantage of this electric jigsaw is that the tool has a three-stage pendulum stroke. For those who do not know, we will tell you that the pendulum stroke is when the file moves not only along its axis, but also slightly in a perpendicular direction during the movement. This greatly increases the cutting speed of the material.
Depending on the type of saw blade installed, the Makita 4329 jigsaw is suitable for cutting soft materials such as wood or plastic, as well as steel plates. True, it is not worth cutting thick steel in large volumes - for a very long time. But for one small detail, there is enough strength and power.
Also, the tool has several high-speed modes of operation so that you can choose the best one depending on the density of the material.
This jigsaw is sold in stores in a case. Also included is a jigsaw blade and a hex wrench to replace the blades. That is, you can immediately install the file after purchase and get to work.
To protect the eyes from chips flying out from under the file, the tool has a protective transparent plastic screen.
Also for a long continuous cut on the handle there is a start lock button.
By pressing it once, you do not need to constantly hold the start button. This jigsaw has a cast sole, which will definitely not bend during operation, even from an accidental impact.
If you need to make a 45° cut, you can adjust the angle accordingly.
To ensure that the hand does not slip, there are special rubber pads on the handle of the jigsaw.
If you're planning to work in a small, enclosed space, you'll probably want to connect to a vacuum cleaner. This jigsaw has this possibility.
In order to make it convenient to store and carry the jigsaw, it comes in a case.
Outwardly, this jigsaw is distinguished by the body color characteristic of the entire line of Makita tools - blue with black inserts. The inserts are located on the handle of the jigsaw and are made of rubberized material to prevent the hand from slipping in hot weather. The tool has a modern look, while the peculiarity of this model is that the sole, in comparison with other brands, is, as it were, moved forward in such a way that the back of the sole is located approximately in the center of the body.
