Highlights
Quality
This is a very durable jigsaw and worked well cutting around pipes to remove sub floor.
Quality and well made - exactly what you expect from this brand.
The minute you pick up the tool, you can tell it's superior quality and build.
It's good because it makes you feel like it's durable, but bad, because after using it on a job site all day, it gets to be a pain to use.
Price
The price seems a little high to me.
But the bosch is $165; the cat is about $15.
Shipping
That being said, this arrived as described and exceeded my expectations.
Packaging/appearance
I would have wished it came with a case.
Competitiveness
I have probably owned 4 different brand jigsaws in the past 10 years and this one is by far the best one i have owned.
Therefore, i thought this jigsaw was just a generic company that "license" the cat brand to sell their power tools.
I think caterpillar is trying to compete against dewalt and milwaukee.
It does take a little more strength than the bosch to keep it following the line, because the cat vibrates quite a bit more than the bosch.

The hardest thing to do with this is get the saw bit into the machine

It did not want to get seated all the way into the machine

So either the bit acceptor isn’t lined up great or it’s lacking lubrication

That being said it is quiet when you use it and chewed right through a box
