jigsaw blades

[Anonymous]

Hi
I have a half decent jigsaw, one of the pro range from Wickes. The original blade was meaty and has served me well, but recently I replaced it after it seemed a bit tired ( blunt) as I use it quite a lot. I replaced it with a wickes blade ( not the same as the one that came with the jigsaw) but it bent on the first job I tried with it.
Can anyone recommend a decent blade or make to look out for and where I can purchase them ( not screwfix)

Cheers

Billzee

I know bosch make good jigsaw blades, try looking at your local tool store.

I don't know if they will fit your jigsaw but I've used bosch blades for years.

Axminster sells the whole range of them http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?sub=105

The Bosch "Progressor" blades are the best I've used, bar none. Worth the extra as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for all the responses

The bosch option sounds like a good way to go ( I'm a fair distance from a decent tool shop) Will be purchasing online.

I ordered those progressor blades from Axminster. If they are as good as the original one supplied with the saw I will be well satisfied
I've always found Bosch stuff pretty good
