Below is Black & Decker’s press release describing their new jigsaw:

Black & Decker  officially announces the launch of its LINEFINDER Orbital Jigsaw with SmartSelect Technology (JS680V) offering more precise jigsaw cuts every time.
For years jigsaws have included numbered performance settings. The problem is that these numbered settings don’t explain how best to set jigsaws for optimal performance depending on your cutting application. Homeowners must resort to trial and error to find the best performance settings.
Black & Decker has cleared up this confusion with SmartSelect Technology, which does the thinking for its users. Just turn the dial to select the project icon and the jigsaw automatically adjusts the orbital setting and speed for optimal results. It’s perfect for straight cuts in lumber, curved cuts in plywood and cutting PVC and metal. Users need to simply rotate the dial to one of seven different settings for best results.

Following the cutline when working with a jigsaw can be difficult, especially in poorly lit workspaces. The new LINEFINDER system makes cut lines stand out for better visibility and more accurate cutting. Simply draw the desired cutline with the LINEFINDER pen (included). Then turn on the ultraviolet light on the jigsaw and watch the line illuminate and stand out clearly against the cutting material. The LINEFINDER pen is a fine tip yellow highlighter. When the LINEFINDER light shines on the cut line it illuminates for increased visibility and accuracy. It is most helpful when cutting curved lines, where a traditional laser does not work.


An easy-to-set Accu-Bevel™ angle adjustment sets the jigsaw at 0, 15, 30 or 45 degrees for angled cuts. A Quick Clamp™ tool-free blade change offers easy blade changes. This powerful 6 amp jigsaw provides 0 to 3,200 cutting strokes per minute. The LINEFINDER Jigsaw will be available for $60 at Lowe’s and other select retailers.

Great CPO Deals, Including $500 Milwaukee or Bosch Tools Shopping Spree

§ March 1st, 2010 § Filed under Contests and Giveaways, Coupons, Sales § Tagged , , , , , , , View Comments

Virtually every CPO branded site is having a sale, offering free shipping, or has a coupon code right now.

CPO’s Milwaukee store and Bosch store are having contests that run now until 11:59pm March 29, 2010. The winner will receive a $500 shopping spree to CPO Milwaukee or CPO Bosch depending on which contest you enter/win. The offer is good for any Milwaukee tool on their site.

You may only enter each contest once. To enter simply fill out the form, here for Milwaukee and here for Bosch, with your name and email address (your physical address is optional). That’s it. You’re entered. The winners will be randomly selected “on or about” March 29, 2010. Since the contests end during the last minute of March 29, I’m going to guess that the winners will be announced sometime later than March 29.

Even if you don’t win the contests, you might want to consider buying some new Milwaukee tools, as CPO is offering free shipping and up to 75% off during their Winter Sale.

The winter sale is going on at a number of CPO stores. You can save up to 70% off all these brands during the Winter Clearance Sale:

But wait, there’s more. We’ve got 3 coupon codes for Dewalt tools, Delta tools, and Porter Cable tools:

  • Delta Wood: 10% off all new table saws with coupon code: dwwfebx
  • Porter Cable: 10% off all new routers with coupon code: pcbfebx

Oh, and did we mention that Bosch and Makita stores are offering free shipping on orders over $69? Because they are.

OK. That’s all of them, unless CPO has a few deals the rolled under the couch that we missed.
