I picked up this little jigsaw as a part of a small power tool lot. I didn't see any of these on this site, so I thought I would post it. I don't have an owner's manual for this saw, but I have seen them online with a 1972 data on them, so I will assume this saw was manufactured on or around that date. This is a 2-speed saw, and works fine. The speed is selected with a rotary dial on the trigger, selecting either high or low. I may not keep this saw, as I have two Craftsman saws that I prefer to use, but found it interesting enough to purchase as I don't think I have ever seen a Skil jigsaw in the wild.
