This little saw has a lot of features. The shoe angle adjustment locks works well. It has a dust blower function you can disable that directs air down at the blade, no more constant blowing while cutting to see where you are going. The motor is powerful, much more than my corded ones even, it's awesome. The variable speed trigger is great also, much nicer than it being a separate setting that you need to stop and adjust in my experience. The only thing I find it lacking is a light - DeWalt is pretty good about LED lighting on their tools, and this one could use it. Not sure why they would have omitted this on a jigsaw as it's pretty important for detail work.
