Don't have a jig saw but yes they are hard to get out. I would guess that over time it will get easier as they wear in but I haven't resorted to a screwdriver yet. Maybe a little (tiny drop) 3 in 1 oil to help facilitate movement might help. Despite the tightness it's still worth it in my opinion.

I have used this saw a lot with no problems. When I first bought it the blades would fall out occasionally. Now, I firmly push the blade into the slot before closing the blade release lever - no problems. Also be sure you have the correct blade type for this saw. If you do both of those and the problem continues, call DeWalt or bring it to a local service center.

Just went out and tested mine. Both items you report as faulty work fine on my tool box.

The adaptor is not designed to be switched out between tools. The tight fit others are describing may be caused by the first initial install. If you plan on getting one unit for each tool you should be good. I have had no problem with my unit and found it to work great.

Mine did not come with a drive adapter. I don't think it does. I already had the square drive nut from my flex shaft, so I didn't think about it not coming with one. The instructions are a bit deceiving, as it seems to assume you already have the proper adapter, but I don't see where it states that it comes with the mini saw.The screw was in place already. Had to unscrew to install blade.

Yes it works.The drill has the 3/8" chuck (or 1/2" still OK) which is adjustable to clamp onto this adapter. It is the bits used that must have the 1/4" hex shank to fit into the adapter. Hope that helps

Both pictures are correct. One shows the attachments out of the box so you see the adapter to make it fit all models, and the crevice tool has an end piece that is detachable that is shown detached.Hope this helps

Athena this attachment is specifically designed for Reciprocating Saws. Jigsaws are different as Dwayne, Mike and Gabriel have all stated. If you look at the "Tang" Portion of the ReciproTool it is a varation of Reciprocating Saw Blades. The Jig Saw has a disticntly different blade attachment and the ReciproTool Adapter will not work on jigsaws.

I had to take all the adaptors out and then the converter. It was tight but it did finally come out.

I'd visit my favorite hardware store and seek the advice of someone there. There are many adapters and I'm sure one will work.

I have but through a local tool house not Amazon. OTC will stand by thier products. My best suggestion is to contact OTC directly.

Kathleen, I wish that I could help you (read my review--Tom Sheffield) but since the third time fixing this jigsaw I have gone with Bosch with zero problems. I still use the Dewalt but now I no longer change the blade as I only use it with the flush cut blade, and not often. I am afraid it will break again the next time I attempt to release the blade. For what it's worth I no longer deal with Makita either--Bosch had become my go to company for power tools.

No, I had no problems with mine. Could there be an adapter that would make your work? I really like mine.

Not well. Dust collecting hoses plugged into the machine pull loose when the unit is moved to a mitered 45. Then you have to fuss with the thing to get it reattached. There must be a good way to secure this and make it travel smoothly but I haven't found it yet. Otherwise this is a great saw.

I didn't have such problem but I'm sure that you can find particular adapter in your PC hardware store.Did you try that maybe?Denis

I went to a GOOD (Lots of inventory) Ace hardware store (Not a Lowes or Home Depot) that had all of the adapters. I found all of the fittings to make it work. Home Depot and Lowes only have a small number of fittings that small. One one of the fittings I had to use the white Teflon tape to reduce the leakage -- but it worked fine.
