Overview
Corded and rated for 3800 strokes per minute, the PORTER-CABLE PCE700 plugs into a standard 120 volt outlet and is built with a steel and metal housing rather than running off a battery.
Corded jig saws in this speed range are built for cutting wood, plastic and thin metal with a blade that cycles up and down rather than a spinning disc, and PORTER-CABLE positions the PCE700 in that corded category. Running on house current instead of a battery means no charge time and no runtime limit, at the cost of needing an outlet nearby.

Who it's for
DIYers and homeowners who want a corded jig saw for occasional cutting jobs around the house. Not the choice for anyone who needs to cut away from an outlet.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.

Performance notes
Running at 3800 strokes per minute on corded power, the saw does not slow down as a charge depletes the way a cordless model can, though it does require staying within reach of an outlet or extension cord.
