Black+Decker, BDCJS18N-XJ, 18 V, Cordless Pendulum Jigsaw

The BLACK+DECKER 18V POWERCONNECT cordless pendulum jigsaw is designed for straight, curved, and bevel cuts across common home workshop materials. It runs on an 18V lithium-ion battery platform and delivers a maximum cutting depth of 55 mm in wood. The tool also handles 20 mm in aluminium and 8 mm in steel. A stroke length of 19 mm and a maximum stroke rate of 2,500 strokes per minute allow efficient material removal. This jigsaw is supplied as a bare tool, so a compatible battery and charger must be purchased separately. It is intended for DIY cutting, laminate work, and general joinery tasks.

Weighing 1,860 g, this cordless jigsaw offers manageable handling, aided by an ergonomic top handle with a soft grip. The base plate features bevel adjustments with detents at 0°, 22.5°, and 45° for angled cuts. A tool-free blade change system accepts both T-shank and U-shank blades, and one saw blade is included. Visibility of the cut line is maintained using an integrated dust blower and a dust extraction port that clears debris. An adjustable speed dial and orbital pendulum action allow the stroke rate to match the material being cut.

• Replaceable carbon-brushed motor – allows straightforward maintenance and brush replacement to extend tool life.
• Lock-on function – enables continuous operation without holding the trigger, reducing finger fatigue on long cuts.
• Sound pressure level of 84.5 dB – indicates the noise experienced by the operator during use.
• Sound power level of 95.5 dB – specifies the total acoustic energy emitted by the tool.
• Vibration level of 6 m/s² – reflects the measured hand-arm vibration when cutting wood or steel.
