Well, I hope to have the same pleasure on Tuesday! Got p'd off with
the Powercraft jigsaw (it needs a guide dog) wandering around and
cutting random slopes, so ordered a Makita 720W from Axminster (£12
cheaper than TS) as it gets good reviews.

Its a jigsaw Jim, but not as we know it. You are in for a major treat
:-)

:-)) I've stopped work on the loft until the new jigsaw arrives, so that
I
can have fun!
The cheapo was OK for quick jobs where just a rough cut was needed, but a
handsaw is much better!
Circular saw next, methinks.

Interestingly, although I have absolutely nothing good to say about my B&D
jigsaw, my B&D 1200 watt circular saw is an excellent performer, and does
exactly what it says on the can. Funny how they can make one tool that's
very good for the money, and another that is expensive junk !
