I was reading a discussion about jigsaws in another thread. In researching them I came across something I’m not familiar with, a barrel-grip jigsaw? (I’m fairly inexperienced when it comes to woodworking.) I’d like to ask the more accomplished carpenters/woodworkers here if you have any had any experiences or have opinions about such a handle? Looking at it, the handle is closer to the surface you’re working on so does that mean you get more accurate, precise cuts vs. using a regular jigsaw handle? Or is it simply a comfort thing? Thanks.
