I guess they don't read bad reviews.I would have thought they would have someone assigned to that task. I did call DeWalt to see it they were aware of the problem and if they had a fix for it and I was courteously told they had no information on this issue. Visually one can see that part of the holding mechanism just doesn't seem to really lock the blade as they get smaller. In fact, with a really narrow blade, once it is properly seated and "locked in place" you can just jiggle it with you hand and it will fall out. I think this is a design failure too, for these reasons: The product works fine with the thicker blades one might use in a jig saw, but as one moves to the more narrow blades, like those used on metal, the blades fall out almost every time. ( I am using the "t-shank" jig saw blades.) I have to join the chorus of those mentioning the "blades fall out" after an inch or two of movement. My Bosch jigsaw recently failed because of a poorly designed blade holder, so I bought this Dewalt hoping to improve my luck. I am, generally speaking a DeWalt fan, owning several of their products. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend any homeowner to get one of these to add to their arsenal of home repair tools.
