Why Cordless Jigsaws Changed the Game

Power tool categories don’t shift dramatically very often, but the transition from corded to cordless jigsaws has been one of the more meaningful changes for home woodworkers and DIYers. The Craftsman Cordless Jigsaw ($159, currently $30 off) illustrates why: without a cord tethering you to an outlet, the range of cuts you can make expands considerably. You’re not managing cable slack around the workpiece, and you’re not hunting for the nearest power source. Reviewers specifically call out the balance and grip comfort as highlights — the weight distribution accounts for the battery pack, and the result is a tool that doesn’t fatigue the wrist during extended use. For anyone who’s been working with an older corded jigsaw, the operational difference is immediately apparent. The $30 discount brings it below the $160 mark, which puts it in a strong position among mid-range cordless jigsaws available right now.

Giving Plants a Better Stage

Plant purchases have accelerated significantly over the past few years, and many households have accumulated more greenery than their current display solutions can handle. The Safavieh Ricco Pedestal Planter ($140.45) addresses this by offering a structured, architectural way to feature a single statement plant. The pedestal design elevates the planter to eye level or near it, which changes how a plant reads in a space — it becomes a focal point rather than something sitting on the floor. The minimalist aesthetic makes it versatile enough to work on a covered patio, a porch, or in an entryway. At around $140, it’s priced as a considered purchase rather than a casual add-on, but the visual impact it creates justifies the investment for anyone who’s already spending meaningful money on plants themselves. Presentation matters, and this planter handles that part of the equation well.
