Great For Small Projects!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had needed a jigsaw for a while and can't stand using cords so I picked this up and don't regret it! I'm not that experienced in using this tool and was able to get it going in just a few minutes.
It comes with a wall charger so you don't need a separate battery pack for it. I used it to trim some wood and pvc pipes for the greenhouse and had zero problems.
The only thing that might be a hindrance is if you needed it for a large project that would require it running for a long time or if you need it for thick wood or pipes. It can cut wood up to 2" thick and if you buy the blade for metal you can cut thin metal pipes as well. Mine only came with one blade, so you might want to grab extras when you pick this up. The charger it comes with is specially made for this tool as well so you cannot substitute another if you lose it.
And, this is less important, but I absolutely love the fact that it's WHITE AND GREEN. I can't stand spending time looking for black tools that blend in with everything. Another bonus is being made from recycled materials.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This compact jigsaw has the perfect distribution of weight for a handheld tool. My husband was pleased with the comfort grip and how easy the blade was to install. His current project is building an easel for our 4 year old and the Reviva is putting in serious work. For a handheld, it packs a bit of kick, however my husband feels it could kick a little more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this jigsaw on a couple of smaller projects last month. I loved how lightweight and easy to use it is. I cut dozens of furring strips, and it had no issues. Wish the battery was external, as it will be unusable if the battery ever dies since it can't be replaced, but aside from that I love it! It's also a plus that recycled materials were used in the construction.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it to cut down metal pipes works really well for all of your diy needs around the house and crafting. The only down side is the battery is not replaceable so if something happens to the battery you can’t just buy a replacement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent power and cut well right out of the box. Included blade went right through particle board and 1x4. Toolless change is nice. Did not like the proprietary charger cord as I will likely lose it. USB-C or something would have been more convenient when if it takes longer to charge.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a small jigsaw that anyone can use on their small home projects. I'd recommend reading the directions before using the tool that way you are getting the best usage out of the tool. The tool isn't tool heavy and does what it suppose to do.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This reviva 12V Max Cordless Jigsaw is easy to use and works well! I am excited to have another option besides the big name tool companies. I have always trusted Black and Decker and with this one it is no exception. Will be looking into more of these tools for our son who is just starting on his tool collection!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jigsaw works great. It is pretty light weight and compact which makes it easier to use. The battery is what makes up most of the weight. It is not heavy or bulky so it makes it easier to use. The blade locks in place and does not skip or jump while you are using it. It is also easy and safe to change out the blade. There is a lock which I like. Overall the battery life was good and the product itself worked better than I expected. It glided through the wood pretty well and wasn’t overly loud.
