A cheap little corded model, this VonHaus is notable for being more powerful than many thanks to its 800W motor. It doesn’t sacrifice accuracy either, thanks to the laser guide it projects ahead of it. Improved and enlarged metal base plate for safe and secure handling – adjustment of the base plate for mitre cuts up to 45° Minimal vibrations and safe and convenient working due to Bosch “Low Vibration” with linear mass balance and ergonomic softgrip

As easy as can be: compact size, low weight and outstanding handling ensure perfect control and optimum user comfort That is unless you’ve already got Ryobi 18V One+ products, because this jigsaw will take any batteries that conform to the One+ system, and you can swap them between devices. While having the cord trailing behind you, perhaps to an extension lead, is a slight annoyance, the payoff is that a corded jigsaw will work all day without having to be recharged. Alternatively, if it’s you who’s working all day, make sure your rechargeable jigsaw has removable batteries so you can keep a set on the charger for the inevitable moment when it loses power. Perfect for someone who would rather buy one tool than three separate devices, the Scorpion is perhaps not a complete master of any of its trades, but it makes up for it with sheer versatility.

It comes with a carry case, which helps prevent those different blades from going missing in the garage. A professional tool from a professional brand, this cordless jigsaw comes with neither battery nor charger, and without a case or anywhere to keep your blades. If you’re a pro, you’ll already have that sort of thing covered, of course.Bosch SDS ensures effortless and safe saw blade changes within seconds – without the need for additional tools
