Greenworks GD24JS Cordless Jigsaw (3000spm) with Adjustable Base up to 45°
Product description
What it’s for, and why it’s built this way
If you’re after a cordless jigsaw for straightforward cutting jobs around the home or workshop, the Greenworks GD24JS is aimed at exactly that: practical cuts without the hassle of plugs. On paper, it’s designed to slice through wood (up to 100mm thick) and handle a range of other materials, including metal (up to 8mm), as well as aluminium, plastics and plasterboard. That “multi-material” angle is useful if you’re the sort of person who does a bit of DIY and then ends up needing one tool for different tasks.
It also leans into cleaner working. The key selling point is the integral vacuum attachment: you connect a vacuum hose and dust is sucked away immediately. That’s mainly about better visibility and less mess while you cut—helpful when you’re working indoors or don’t want every surface to end up covered in fine sawdust.
The essentials you’ll notice in use
The adjustable base is there for quicker angled work. The base can tilt up to 45°, so it suits miter-style cuts and angled sections without you having to improvise jigs. For many homeowners, this is the difference between “I can do the job” and “I’ll leave it for someone with better kit”.
You also get a quick blade-change setup: the jigsaw includes two blades and they’re described as easy to replace with no tools needed. In real terms, that matters because jigsaws are often used for a mix of straight lines and more intricate shapes—changing blades when you switch material types or cut style can be the difference between keeping momentum and having to pause.
And yes, it’s cordless—but it’s a tool-only package. That means it doesn’t come with a 24V battery or charger, so you’ll need compatible Greenworks 24V power if you don’t already own it.
Key features that affect day-to-day value
The vacuum attachment is the standout here. Dust extraction won’t eliminate dust in every scenario (no system is perfect, especially if you’re cutting dense materials or irregular shapes), but the intent is clear: suck it away straight away so you can see your cut line better and keep the area cleaner.
The cutting capability across multiple materials is also worth weighing. If your projects genuinely involve wood, plasterboard and occasional metal or aluminium, this spec sheet makes sense as a single-jigsaw solution.
One more practical point: the machine is rated at 3000spm. That’s useful context for how it’s pitched for general cutting rather than extremely specialised high-end work—so if you’re expecting a “precision instrument” feel all the time, it may not be the path you want. Still, for typical DIY and jobbing around the house, it’s exactly the sort of performance figure people look for.
What to double-check before you buy
Because this is a “tool only” version, the biggest thing to verify is whether you already have a Greenworks 24V battery that you can use with it. If not, you’d need to factor in buying a compatible battery and charger separately.
Also, consider dust extraction compatibility in your setup. The listing states you connect a vacuum hose to benefit from the dust-free working approach. If you don’t have a suitable vacuum hose arrangement, the extraction feature may be less convenient than it sounds.
Finally, while the base is adjustable up to 45°, the best results will still depend on how well you support the workpiece and keep your cutting line stable—jigsaws can be forgiving, but angled cuts and curved cuts still reward a steady hand.
Where it shines (and where it might fall short)
It makes sense if you want a cordless jigsaw that can tackle common DIY materials (wood, plasterboard, plus occasional metal/aluminium/plastics), with a dust-extraction attachment to keep visibility up.
It may not be the best match if you’re starting from zero in the Greenworks 24V ecosystem and don’t want to spend on a battery and charger as part of the same purchase. Since the package explicitly doesn’t include them, it’s easier to justify when you already own other Greenworks 24V tools.

Mini FAQ
Is it really dust-free?
It’s designed for dust-free working with an integral vacuum attachment, pulling sawdust away immediately for better visibility and less dust. Realistically, no dust control can guarantee a completely spotless workspace in every cutting scenario, but it should help noticeably.
Does the kit include a battery and charger?
No. This is a tool-only package without a 24V battery and charger. You need a compatible Greenworks 24V battery if you don’t already have one.
What materials can it cut?
Based on the listing, it can quickly and easily cut wood, metal, aluminium, plastics and plasterboard, with stated thickness limits for wood and metal.
Can it make angled cuts?
Yes. The adjustable base goes up to 45°, which should suit angled and bevel-style cuts.
Does it come with blades?
Yes, it comes with two blades, and the listing says they can be replaced easily with no tools needed.
Should you buy it?
Final verdict
Buy it if you already own a compatible Greenworks 24V battery and you want a cordless jigsaw that covers common DIY materials (including angled cuts up to 45°) and you like the idea of dust extraction via a vacuum attachment.
Skip it if you’re not in the Greenworks 24V system and you’d rather avoid adding extra costs for a battery and charger. Also, if you don’t plan to use a vacuum setup, the dust-control feature may not deliver the benefit the listing promises.
A sensible way to judge it is simple: if your projects involve regular cutting and you’re tired of losing visibility or making a mess, this particular approach is the point. If you’re only cutting very occasionally, or you need premium-level fine woodworking performance, you may want to compare against options that better match that exact use case.
