Default Any thoughts on the value of this cordless jigsaw

It's a sponsored ad so the reviews are entirely untrustworthy.

As a matter of (genuine) interest, how do you tell that - does it say it
somewhere I've missed?


Rather than following that link I just searched amazon for cordless
jigsaws. It appeared at the top of the page with €śsponsored€ť next to it.

Amazon is awash with sponsored no-name products all with glowing 5 star
reviews. Given that they are never household names you have to ask yourself
how theyve all go 5 star reviews so quickly. Simple answer is that the
sellers have paid for the ad AND the reviews. Its clearly very lucrative.
