Can any one vouch for it or a better alternative in a similar price
range.

One question is Orbital or Pendulum action the same thing and what are
the pro‘s and con‘s of this.

Perhaps our US cousins didn't understand pendulum. To me something that
orbits goes round and round. Would make an interesting jigsaw - although
have seen ones where the blade can be rotated off the straight ahead
position.

Pendulum describes it better - the blade moves forward when cutting and
backwards on the downstroke. And you'd be hard pushed to find one without
this action these days. But you should be able to switch it off for fine
cutting - or rather as fine as a jigsaw can manage.
