Q: What is the difference between T-Shank and U-Shank jigsaw blades?
A: The shank type is determined by the head of your jigsaw. U-Shanks, or universal shank, are the older standard, and require tools such as an Allen wrench to replace the blade. T-Shanks are newer and growing in popularity, as they allow the user to rapidly change the blade without tools - but only on machines that support them.
