priced well. however, a little heavy

I've previously been using a well known supermarket own brand jigsaw with mixed success. It finally gave up so I thought I'd go upmarket a little and as I already had a suitable battery it was a no brainer to go for an einhell tool. I'm so glad I did, the difference is remarkable.With the battery in place the jigsaw is well balanced and easy to grip. It's heavy enough to sit firmly on the timber but still move around for the more difficult cuts, which it does with ease. Battery life is good although it is a fairly new battery so I would expect it to power this jigsaw for quite sometime before it needs recharging.I can't comment on how it would cope with professional use but for a keen diyer it's been a well worth addition to my toolbox.

As usual, the company gives excellent value for money. Dependable machines, easy to use.

As I already own an Einhell Power X-Change battery pack (courtesy of my Einhell reciprocating saw) I thought it would be sensible to buy the same brand of jigsaw too. I owned a Bosch jigsaw before I got this, but that was ruined by a plumber we called in to repair the boiler, who managed to fill up my power tool box with water when he drained the radiator circuit. I discovered the problem some weeks later when it was too late to rescue it.None of the Einhell Power X-Change tools come with a power pack supplied, but the battery can be used in all the compatible tools, so it makes sense to me.I have used the jigsaw to cut up some firewood, trim some garden stakes and also to cut a hole in an aluminium and foam uPVC door to fit a cat flap. That was hard work, but it made a clean cut and the cat flap fitted perfectly.It is simple enough to use, and you will be up and running in no time if you have used a jigsaw previously. If you are new to these tools take a moment or two to read the instructions,and you should find the whole thing pretty straightforward.The blade is changed by using a spring loaded chuck, so no screws to loosen and tighten. You can adjust the pendulum action of the blade to deal with different materials.There is a chip guard (this is in clear plastic so check the 'bag of bits' so you don't throw it away by accident), which is useful to prevent chipping on materials like melamine.There is also an automatic dust blower, to keep the cutting path clear (but it also means you do need to wear a face mask to keep the dust out of your nose and mouth). It also has a parallel guide attachment to keep your edges straight.There is also a neat little light at the front, which comes on when you pull the trigger, so you can see your lines more easily.Overall I think it is a great tool. It vibrates a bit more then my Bosch, but the weight is good and the controls are easy to use. The speed is adjusted by the pressure on the trigger, too, so you can make a very slow starter cut where required.For the money I think it's unbeatable.
