I too have the 12v jig saw. While I really like the ergonomics, it is lacking in power for many tasks. Given that it is only a 12v tool, I can deal with that issue though. I really appreciate it when coping with the Collins foot!
That is exactly the reason why I want it, but i am going to wait till black friday to see if there are any sales before i go and pick it up.
I got mine for about $120 as soon as it was available in NA. Thats the only price I’ve ever seen it for sale at..The Collins foot just BARELY clears the wire loop guard on the front of the saw, but its workable.

InstagramI’ve got this saw coming from BTP. Can anyone tell me if the accessories from the JS572 corded version will fit on the 12V?
Things like the edge guide, anti splinter inserts, dust collection and the FSN rail attachment?

The coping foot would make this perfect for crown. It is super convenient when installing cabinetry.
No matter how good you think you are you there is always someone that is better, or can teach you something.

Splinter insert is the same. In fact it comes with one. Dust collection is different not sure on the railguide

If you’re talking about the FSN rail attachment from overseas, it won’t fit the JS120 as the foot is too small. I heard there’s a workaround if you have the footplate from the 18V saws, you can fit that onto the JS120 and the plate will fit in the FSN attachment.
Will the 18V jig saw fit the FSN rail?

The coping foot is an aftermarket accessory from Collins. If you want one, you’ll have to buy it separately.

So how has this saw performed for you since you have had it for several months? Any issues?

Haven’t had any issues at all. Just that it’s underpowered for a few things but like I said originally it’s not going to be a jigsaw to replace a corded one or 18v one. But I still reach for it 95% of the time over my other one.
Jon,
I wanted to buy this LiL Jig to cope with the collins foot
I wanted to hear from someone who actually used it with the collins footdoes it do well coping oak crown and base?
I know it is a 12v, and not as powerful as a corded, i saw an 18v barrel grip from Bosch but only sold overseas
and I love all of bosch tools….need another van just to carry them! 🙂I am glad I ran across BTP
Thanks
Thank You Austin
I am New to BTPI just bought this jigsaw and put the Collins coping foot on it

I plan on getting a stick of crown to start learningHere it is…the metal bar on the jig is in the way just a fuzz
Not sure if they are going to have a clear plastic shroud to put on the front for dust collection like the corded boschBut here it is
Will take me awhile to experiment with this lil guyAny advice would be appreciated

Welcome aboard. The JS120 is a great jig saw, lots of guys here have done the Collins foot mod and have had good results. Pictures can be tough to post here. I use a photo hosting service and just post the link.

Thanks for taking the time to put together your review. I love how small and compact it is, I’m just not sure how I’d feel about a barrel grip and no variable speed trigger.

That’s the only bad thing about barrel grip jig saws. Some have a ramp up where it goes slow until it senses load then goes faster. That would be helpful for that
