Does it come with a battery?

The tool is sold as a bare tool, so a 24-volt Kobalt battery and charger are needed separately unless you already own them.

What blades does it take?

It uses standard T-shank jigsaw blades, which are widely available in wood, metal and laminate types.

Yes, with a metal-cutting T-shank blade and a slow speed setting. Thick steel is better left to a dedicated metal saw.

How fast does it cut?

The variable-speed trigger runs the blade up to 3,000 strokes per minute, so you can start slow and speed up through a cut.

Is it good for a first jigsaw?

It is a reasonable first cordless jigsaw if you are on the Kobalt 24-volt platform. Buyers without that battery line should factor in the cost of a battery and charger.

The base shoe adjusts for angled cuts, which is useful for trim and countertop work.

Our take on the Kobalt 24-volt Brushless Variable Keyless Cordless Jigsaw

The Kobalt 24-Volt Max Brushless Jigsaw is a cordless barrel-grip saw that cuts curves and shapes in wood, plastic and thin metal. Its brushless motor runs up to 3,000 strokes per minute through a variable-speed trigger, and the keyless blade clamp lets you swap T-shank blades without a tool. It runs on Kobalt's 24-volt battery line, so anyone already on that platform avoids buying a second charger. Against corded jigsaws it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from a cord; against premium brushless rivals it is a simpler tool with fewer cut-control features.
