Any other ideas? Opinions on the Skil jigsaw?

Thanks!

Yeah, spend the extra for a Bosch. There is no other power tool in
which the difference in performance between cheap and good is as great
as the jigsaw.

I've been meaning to get back to thank everyone for the excellent
info. So you're saying to get the Skil jigsaw, right? Just kidding--
pretty overwhelming endorsement for Bosch in this thread! They must be
doing something right.

Thanks again to all!
