What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle Jig Saw (2737-20)
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, hands-on reviewed this exact Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle jig saw (title covers the 2737-21 kit; the body identifies the bare tool as 2737-20). It scored 9.6/10, praising class-leading cutting speed and a comfortable grip, but flagged weak dust collection, no lock-on button, and no variable-speed dial. No measured benchmarks were published; other tool sites fell outside the whitelist. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Cutting speed — clearly faster than DeWalt and Ridgid despite the same top SPM; Comfortable D-handle design, overmold grip, and easy-to-control cuts; Cutline blower off switch improves dust capture versus rivals.
Flagged: Dust collection leaves something to be desired; No lock-on button, a drawback on longer curved cuts; No variable-speed dial (two-finger trigger only).
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. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Blade guidance/tracking rated best-in-class; Four-LED strobe lights make the blade appear to stand still for easy line-following; Very good dust extraction on the 90-degree bases.
Flagged: Expensive, roughly twice a Bosch once the accessory Systainer is included; Angle base doesn't extend far enough ahead of the blade to start angled cuts easily; No dust collection possible with the angle base.
