I need a 'grown-up' jigsaw to replace an old green Bosch 360 watt.
Shortlisted are the Makita 4350 or 4351, the Dewalt 331 or the Bosch GST 135
The Bosch looks dead clever with its blade guide sytstem - bit like bandsaw and has had glowing magazine reviews but user forums (both in UK and US where it is called something else) seem to indicate it is unreliable, with faults ranging from the blade jamming or dropping out to the switch failing. Anyone have personal experience with any of these?
