Barb Rosen on Jul 18, 2015You can do both straight and curved cuts with a jigsaw, Carolyn. It is my go-to saw for most of the crafts I do where cutting wood is required.Helpful Reply

Phoebe, Crooked River Ranch, OR on Jul 18, 2015My very first saw was a jig saw. Cutting curved projects. Then a small(8 inch) chop saw. Twenty years later, I have grown into more advanced tools, but still remember my first saw!! My husband thought I was crazy when I wanted tools for gifts!!! You go Girl!!!Helpful Reply

Linda Milligan on Jul 30, 2015I love my Ryobi tools. I started with the circular saw and drill about 4 years ago. Batteries interchange and tools are powerful enough for most DIY.Helpful Reply
