Thanks for the update! Redoing all the math was very thorough. Congrats to the Festool for taking 1st spot (although I still went with Milwaukee 18v thanks to your excellent website).

Matt – Great catch! We’ve updated the article. However, when all the math finished up, Festool actually was the sole winner with Makita and Milwaukee tied for 2nd.

Milwaukee actually won the performance test and should share first place with makita and festool with 19 points.

Would appreciate it if you could edit the article.

I’m already into the DeWalt and Makita platforms, so they are the leading contenders. I was planning on the DeWalt barrel grip, but sadly this wasn’t included.

Now I have a conundrum….

Not only on the jig saw write up but everything you folks do. If we readers were to rate write ups you guys are number 1.

This info wouldn’t be included in any scoring only offered for what it’s worth.

We appreciate your looking at the numbers so closely. In the interest of keeping our results digestible, we round numbers up to a reasonable number of significant digits.
So the numbers you saw in the article divided out are correct as far as they stand.
However, the actual average time numbers, when taken out to the 5th / 6th, digit show a more precise answer. The Hilti had a final result of .03946 (rounded up to .0395). The Milwaukee jigsaw had a final result of .03938 (rounded up to .0394).
Our rankings stand as we published them. But we like that our readers go into such detailed depth when looking at what we publish. Thank you for your input.

Hilti: 2.84 in per sec divided by 72 watthours is 0.0394
Which is exactly the same result as the Milwaukee… even if you carry it out 12 decimal places.
Mil: 3.55 in per sec divided by 90 watthours is 0.0394
Which would make them tied for first lowering the Milwaukee’s total score to 19 and giving a three way tie for top jigsaw. Additionally, the Festool which only comes with a fixed base and requires an additional purchase to accommodate the 45 degree cut should be graded a 5 in that cut category since the model doesn’t come with a base to allow you to cut a 45 degree angle. This aligns with how other models were scored when they lacked a feature (like a locking trigger) the result would be a total score of 23 moving it down in the total ranking to second. Just my input for all to read, thanks for all your efforts I do value your testing.
