This versatile tool cuts through wood, steel and aluminium, making it suitable for home DIYers. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy and comfortable to use and control. Ergonomic Design The jigsaw has been ergonomically designed for ease of use and convenience, so that you save time and energy on your project. By condensing the size of the switch mechanism to sit flush within the handle, the overall size of the jigsaw is smaller and more compact than other jigsaws. Its low profile also makes the jigsaw feel stable, along with the wide, sturdy shoe and balanced weight. Furthermore, at the light weight of just 1.3 kg, this jigsaw is easy to manage and manoeuvre. It is also fitted with an overmoulded, non-slip handle, which makes the jigsaw comfortable to use and offers added control. Applications This jigsaw is suitable for general wood cutting, curved cuts and bevelled cuts at 45 degrees. It can be used for light sheet metal and metal pipe cutting, as it will cut steel to a depth of 5 mm and aluminium to a depth of 10 mm. It is therefore, suitable for light decorative and hobby DIY tasks, such as making shelving, cutting wood flooring and general maintenance tasks. Specifications Power: 500 W Weight: 1.3 kg Depth of cut - Wood: 65 mm Depth of cut - Steel: 5 mm Depth of cut - Aluminium: 10 mm Cord length: 2 m Performance The cut quality is essential to achieving a successful end result, which is why the Black + Decker KS501 jigsaw is designed for better performance at all light DIY applications. The internal mechanism is counter-balanced to reduce vibration, which reduces fatigue during sustained work and gives you better control over the tool. Moreover, this reduced vibration allows you to achieve more precise, accurate cuts for a better finish. The jigsaw also comes with two key features that facilitate accurate, precise cuts: the lock-on feature and dust blower. The lock-on feature removes the need to continuously hold the trigger switch to operate the tool, you simply ‘lock-on’ and go. This convenient addition to the tool makes prolonged cutting less tiring and more comfortable, which ultimately gives you a better finish. The jigsaw is also designed to ensure that you can see your work clearly, as the integral dust blower feature keeps the line of cut clear, whilst the wire safety guard makes the blade clearly visible, unlike thicker guards. This enhanced clarity ensures the precision and accuracy of the cut. Review: Perfect for garage works - I recently purchased the BLACK+DECKER 400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. This compact jigsaw is a powerful and versatile tool that has made my DIY projects much easier and more efficient. First and foremost, the 400 W motor provides ample power to cut through various materials with ease. Whether I'm working with wood, plastic, or even metal, this jigsaw handles it all effortlessly. The variable speed control allows me to adjust the cutting speed according to the material and thickness, ensuring clean and precise cuts every time. One of the standout features of this jigsaw is its compact and lightweight design. It is comfortable to hold and maneuver, making it perfect for both small and intricate cuts. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip and reduces fatigue during longer projects. The tool-less blade change system is a game-changer. It allows me to quickly and easily swap out blades without the need for any additional tools. This saves me a lot of time and frustration, especially when I need to switch between different types of cuts. Another great feature is the adjustable baseplate, which tilts up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts. This gives me the flexibility to create angled cuts and achieve precise and professional-looking results. Overall, the BLACK+DECKER 400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool has been a fantastic addition to my toolbox. It is reliable, powerful, and easy to use. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional, I highly recommend this jigsaw for all your cutting needs. Review: Decent jigsaw - Good jigsaw for bits of work around the house.

Was only used for cutting small sheets of wood so nothing too robust but did what i asked of it. Blade change same as most other jigsaws. Overall a decent little tool for the price, will see how long it lasts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gutsy little unit! *by S***S on 27 July 2018* Jigsaw received and immediately put to work cutting 4" x 1" timber fencing. Performs very well, the vibration at the hand grip is damped down quite well and the blade (supplied) is universal for wood only. The blade itself is firmly clamped in a twin screw holder with a roller underneath to guide and support while cutting. Motor cooling air is exhausted out just behind the blade to clear wood chips from the cutting line which is very useful! I have awarded 4 stars as the blade clamping screws can fall out when loosening the clamp to change the blade - they are fiddly to put back! Also there is no centre mark on the front of the baseplate to assist straight line cuts (I made my own with a paint pen - so can you!). I should add that my old unit would never cut in a straight line from new and was just short of twice the price of this B&D unit! A good solid unit for the occasional DIY'er at a price not to turn your nose up at - recommended! ## Frequently Bought Together - BLACK+DECKER 400 W Compact Jigsaw Power Tool with Blade and Kitbox, KS501-GB - Toolzone 14pc Jigsaw Blades - Rolson 58934 14 pc Jigsaw Blade Assortment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/47955216-black-decker-compact-jigsaw-400w-corded-ks501-gb](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/47955216-black-decker-compact-jigsaw-400w-corded-ks501-gb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-11-04*
