AI Review Summary:
Across retailer reviews, buyers praise smooth cutting in aluminum and thin steel, long blade life for the price, and reliable fit in various jigsaws. Many note clean, straight cuts with minimal burring when using lubricant. Some report slower cutting and reduced ability on tight curves due to the fine TPI and straight‑cut design. Representative quotes: “Great for 14‑gauge sheet—lasts longer than others,” “Perfect on aluminum with a little oil,” and “Not for tight curves, but excellent straight cuts.”
