Important information

Safety Information

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • lead from lead-based paints, • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

5 Stars
The most comfortable, sturdy-feeling, and sharp saw there is!
Wow, the handle is the best part! Look, you are hand-holding this tool and using nothing but your hand/arm/wrist to perform the job. This is not a power tool, right? So it's all about how comfortable, how firm/sturdy this tool fits in your hand. WOW, this saw fits so righteously which makes the sawing job that much better, easier, and more comfortable. There are many other saws out there, yes, but once you grab a hold of this one you will see why this DeWalt brand saw earns that extra few point ahead the competitors.The sawing teeth are sharp and quick. The blade is thin, easy to turn and adjust sawing angle, but not flimsy that breaks off. A very good balance. I'd totally recommend you go with this DeWalt saw even if it's just a buck or two more. You will thank me later!Thanks for reading!

Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2021
I haven't had the chance to use this Jab Saw but I can say for sure that the quality of the product is superb. I know just by the feel of the grip of its handle.

The blade itself has a length of approximately 6.2" and the handle is about 5.6". Overall length is about 11.8" more or less. I am a DeWalt guy and as usual, dewalt quality never failed me so far!

Would recommend for small jobs and to all DIY dad out there!
