Score: 74/100Ryobi ONE+ HP Jig Saw
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Jig Saw is a high-performance tool featuring a brushless motor for enhanced power and efficiency, with speeds up to 3,400 SPM. It offers four orbital settings and tool-free bevel adjustments for versatile cutting capabilities. However, it lacks integrated dust management and is bulkier than compact alternatives, making it less ideal for tight spaces.
The Craftsman V20 Cordless Jigsaw (CMCS600B) offers portable precision cutting with variable speeds up to 2,500 SPM and 3 orbital settings. It is a lightweight, affordable option for DIY homeowners and light professionals, though the sensitive trigger and fiddly bevel lever are notable drawbacks. It is best suited for curved or straight cuts in plywood and trim work.

Professional reviewers highlight the CMCS650 brushless model as a significant upgrade, noting its speed and runtime, but consistently note that the bevel lever is fiddly and the tool lacks the vibration dampening of heavier competitors.
Everyday users praise the tool's surprising power for DIY projects and long battery life, but recurring complaints focus on the sensitive trigger and painful bevel adjuster mechanism.
Professional reviewers praise the brushless motor's power for cutting through 2x lumber and the overall performance of the HP lineup. Product pages highlight the tool as redefining power with 36% faster cutting and 78% longer runtime compared to prior models.
There is limited direct user feedback in the available data, with Home Depot listings showing questions but no aggregated ratings. Common implied praise aligns with the pros, highlighting fast cuts, long runtime, and ease of use within the ONE+ ecosystem.
“Surprisingly powerful for DIY-3 orbital settings make wood cuts fly without binding”
“Cuts plywood/metal like butter at full speed”
“Trigger too sensitive-hard to maintain slow speeds for detail work”
