The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The BDCJS20B operates on the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX battery system and runs at 2,500 RPM through a metal-construction body weighing 4.7 pounds. The 20V MAX platform is broadly compatible across BLACK+DECKER tools, which makes this saw attractive to users already invested in that ecosystem.
At $64.63 for the bare tool and a 4.7-star rating from 1,500 reviewers, the BDCJS20B has a respectable track record for a mid-range cordless entry. The tool measures 11.38 inches long and 10 inches tall, a standard jig saw footprint well suited to controlled two-handed work.
With 50 monthly purchases, the BDCJS20B sees modest but consistent demand. Buyers not already owning 20V MAX batteries should compare the bare-tool total cost against the BDCJS20C, which includes a battery, before assuming the body-only option is the better value.
