Yep, the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Jig Saw (model PCL525B) does come with a blade. It includes a T-Shank wood cutting blade, which is great for woodwork.
However, if you're planning to slice through drywall or other softer materials, you'll want to pick up some additional blades designed for those materials to get the best results. Thankfully, it's got a quick, tool-free blade change feature, making it a breeze to swap out blades when you need to.
As for the jigsaw itself, according to the manufacturer's product description, it features a variable speed trigger that can hit up to 3,000 strokes per minute (SPM). This gives you the flexibility to make precise cuts at different speeds, which is super handy for various materials.
Based on our research, folks find this feature really useful for getting cleaner cuts.
One thing that users like about this jigsaw is how easy it is to use and the comfortable grip it offers. This makes it quite user-friendly, even for projects involving delicate materials like drywall.
A tip from our research: make sure the blade is properly installed to avoid any issues since there have been occasional mentions of blades not being secured well.
Also, since it's cordless, you get a ton of mobility with this jigsaw, which is awesome for moving around larger materials. Just remember, this model doesn't include the battery and charger, so if you’re part of the RYOBI ONE+ system, you can use your existing batteries.
So, it's a solid tool that's pretty easy to handle, but just make sure you have the right blades on hand for specific materials like drywall.
