Overview
The WORKPRO W124748A is a corded electric jigsaw drawing power from a standard 850-watt motor, a healthy output for cutting wood, thin metal, and plastics in a home shop setting. At $44.99 it undercuts most battery-powered jigsaws while offering consistent, fade-free performance as long as an outlet is nearby.
The metal construction and 5.44-pound weight give the tool a sturdy feel, though that extra mass compared to lighter cordless models can be noticeable on prolonged use. With 381 verified reviews averaging 4.5 stars, buyer feedback is broadly positive, though the monthly demand figure of 50 units suggests this is a steady seller rather than a breakout hit.
Buyers looking for a no-fuss plug-in jigsaw for occasional projects will find the W124748A punches above its price class. The absence of a published stroke rate means performance nuances cannot be directly compared on paper, but the 850-watt motor provides a clear power baseline.

Performance notes
The WORKPRO W124748A runs on corded electric power at 850 watts through a standard 120-volt outlet. The metal body and 5.44-pound weight provide stability on straight cuts. Without a published strokes-per-minute figure, cutting speed comparisons rely on the motor wattage as the primary indicator. Best suited to workshop tasks where an outlet is available.
