You can basically use a barrel grip one handed. The biggest difference I found is I put a Collins coping foot on my barrel jigsaw (same as this Dewalt deal) and use mine for coping molding. It's a game changer at least for that use case.

What a great deal, I just don't need the batteries and at $10/ah resale this tool is $100 which matches its usual sale price (which isn't too often).

I have this jigsaw. My one complaint is that I cannot reliably lock the base at 90 degrees to the blade. Had this same problem with the non-barrel-grip 18V version of this tool. Very frustrating to have the bevel change on you as you're making your cut. In my opinion, the use case for jigsaw to cut at bevels is pretty minimal, I wish they'd just manufacture it at a fixed 90 degrees.

The grip lets you get your hand closer to the action, better control.

Another reason for the increase in control is no trigger for variable speed. Many folks think this is a bad thing, but it's so not. You set the speed by a dial and use a slide on/off switch. Not having to hold in a trigger your hand can now just do the single task of solidly holdiing the saw and following the line you want.

Thanks OP

(this doesn't look hackable as it rings up as 1 sku VS tool sku + battery skus)

Totally! Let's face it, if a group of engineers were asked to come up with a design for a powered hand saw capable of making well-controlled curved cuts, I don't think there would be many D-handle saws in the prototypes!

It's not hackable. If you don't need the batteries, not motivated to sell them, and not in a rush, I would hold out for a bare-tool deal. I'm sure you will be able to get the bare tool for around $120 sometime in the next year.

Personally, if I was getting one (which I'm not because I already own one), I would be planning on selling the batteries for $100 on Marketplace, or finding someone wanting batteries to split the deal with me.

There are lock/unlock icons on the left side. To bevel, you open the lever on the right side and pull the shoe forward to unlock. To get back to 90, pull the shoe back and wiggle until it slips into the slot. (I have this jigsaw, and it's great.)

Agreed. Make sure you are pulling the shoe back once it's at 90 degrees. It doesn't always fall right in so, like CoralBorder413 says, you need to wiggle it and you can hear and audible click. If it's not pulled back into this position, it will move when the lever is locked. However, it is rock solid (at least on my one) if you lock the shoe from this pushed-back position.

I wish that was all it took but I've found no matter what it wants to vibrate froward and fall into a bevel. I have tried tightening it to the max and eventually works its way loose. Still the best jigsaw I've ever owned as far as ergonomics.

That's too bad. I have never experienced that with mine--it's really solidly locked in that backward position where there's no chance of beveling. I wonder if your bevel lock lever has loosened up. There is a hex screw on the shoe to re-tension it. If you remove the shoe cover, you should see three hex screw in the slot in the center of the shoe. It's the middle one.
