Hitachi CJ160VA jigsaw — specs & overview

The Hitachi CJ160VA is a corded jigsaw that runs on an 800W motor. This power level allows the tool to handle various cutting tasks through its variable speed settings. Users can adjust the stroke rate between 800 and 2800 strokes per minute to suit different materials.

It weighs 2.5kg. This weight provides enough stability for steady cuts while remaining manageable during extended use.

The 26.0mm stroke length helps move the blade through material efficiently. Because it uses mains power, you do not need to worry about battery life or charging times during a project.
