DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON RYOBI TOOLS (JUNK)
JS451L jigsaw - Complaint

HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA -- Purchased this saw from Home depot last year. Have used it a total of maybe 30 minutes then the blade started to fall out during use. Contacted Ryobi parts thing all I needed was the cheap piece of plastic to fix it. Ryobi call center representative advise that I had to buy the whole shaft for $32.00 and that is the only way they carry it. That is about the same as the price of the tool. Then you would just take the litle piece of plastic and replace it and hope it last."It Wont".I hope that enough people read this to avoid these junk tools and stop throwing away their money. DONT BUY RYOBI.

Can you get some of that Gorilla glue (i think that's what it's called.)? It's meant to be put to hard use in things like this. Check it out.

I'm surprised a piece of plastic is involved with securing the blade. In the old days, everything in this area would be metal. Perhaps some sort of quick release mechanism or something. Progress? Doesn't sound like it.
I just looked - this tool is only $40 and includes a laser. And it does have a quick change feature of some sort. At $40, this may not have the quality built in that one might expect.

On a side note, the main reason this happens is that the wrong blade is used in a particular application.

This is why I buy DeWalt products. You spend a little more but you get quality that lasts.
