Actually no.

I paid just over £100 for a very good Bosch one.

If you read previous threads on jigsaws, you would find that there is
an enormous difference between a £30 B&D jigsaw and a professional
grade one.

At one stage I had one of the B&D ones and had assumed that all
jigsaws had wandering blades, high vibration and generally poor
handling.

I had the opportunity to try out one of the Bosch ones and it's like
chalk and cheese. I do quite a lot of work with it.

If you're going to buy a £30 jigsaw and you're only going to do
occasional and rough work with it, then I agree, go and buy the £6
one. You wouldn't even bother to return it to the store when it
breaks.

I assume they come with a motor? ;-)
