Makita 4329

The Makita 4329 electric jigsaw is a representative of a high-quality hand tool from a Japanese manufacturer, at an affordable cost of about $75. The model is able to serve for many years, helping in home repairs and small construction.

Compact and handy

The jigsaw is made in the branded blue "Makit" coloring, The handle has black rubber grips with an anti-slip effect. Control buttons and key holder are conveniently located on the case. The form factor of the tool is compact, weighing only 1.9 kg. Doesn't get tired while working.

What's special?

The Makita 4329 jigsaw is almost the same in functionality as the Metabo STEB 65 Quick 601030000: 450 W motor, saw blade stroke 18 mm, 4 levels of pendulum stroke (from 0 to 3), cutting depth in wood 65 mm, in steel — 6 mm.

But there are also some differences. Increased blade stroke adjustment range from 500 to 3100 strokes/min. This provides an even smoother, clean cut without torn edges.

For comfortable and safe work, a protective shield made of transparent polymer and a branch pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner are provided. But there is no sawdust blowing function, which causes certain inconveniences.

Not everyone will like the lack of the possibility of keyless replacement of the saw blade. On the other hand, this is a guarantee of a longer tool life, since this knot in jigsaws breaks most often.

Model Options

The model is available in several configurations. Article 4329 comes with 1 blade, 4329 K comes with 1 blade and case, 4329X1 comes with a set of 5 blades, 4329KX1 comes with 5 blades and case.

Summing up, we can say that Makita 4329 is good for cutting not too thick and mostly soft materials — laminate, plywood, aluminium, it is of high quality and durable. On the other hand, the price of the "Japanese" is a little expensive for such merits. The same Metabo STEB 65 Quick 601030500 will be better and cheaper.
