## What reviewers say

**Festool Carvex PSB 420 EBQ-Plus Jig Saw** — One whitelisted hands-on tester (Pro Tool Reviews, Ernie Conover) used the barrel-grip corded Carvex 420 for about two months and rated it the best jigsaw he had ever used, praising blade guidance, the strobe LEDs and dust extraction. The main gripe is cost, roughly double a Bosch once the accessory Systainer is added. No other whitelisted coverage of this exact model was found; forums and trade blogs excluded.
