It’s a long debate and ultimately we feel a personal preference. I prefer barrel grip, but I know many prefer the top grip.

Do you feel like it’s purely a matter of personal taste and hand feel, or are there some significant differences in suitability to task, performance, or other meaningful differences between the two styles?

Anyone know where they fall in this mix?

Interesting question! I’ve never used a jigsaw to cut 4×4’s, that’s a job for a circ saw and recip saw. I suppose it’s possible, but I’ve never seen it done. Having said that, I think most of these could do the job with the right blade and not rushing the cut.

Thanks you guys are awesome.
But one question about this test.. one of the benefits of a jigsaw is
Being able to use long blades to cut through 4×4.
Are those jigsaws up to the task?
Interested in the Makita in particular ..

Thanks!
