Ryobi's PBLJS01B is a brushless ONE+ jigsaw at $69 bare. At that price, it's an impulse buy for anyone on the ONE+ platform. Cut quality is decent for the price, and it handles plywood, MDF, and softwood without issues.
Ryobi ONE+ (18V) Platform
Uses ONE+ batteries. Even a 1.5Ah battery provides decent runtime since jigsaws have lower power draw than most tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a $69 jigsaw any good?
For home projects, the Ryobi PBLJS01B is surprisingly capable. It cuts clean lines in plywood and trim stock. The blade tends to deflect more than premium jigsaws in thick hardwood, but for most DIY work, $69 gets you 90% of the performance of a $179 jigsaw.
Can the Ryobi jigsaw cut metal?
With a metal-cutting T-shank blade and orbital set to 0, yes. It handles thin sheet metal and aluminum. For steel thicker than 1/8", you'll want a more powerful jigsaw or a different cutting method.
