I'm a homeowner who will give light to moderate use of a jigsaw. Which
would you suggest as the best one for such use? Can I get by with a
$49 Skil at HD, or should I go with something at $100+?
Thanks!

Bosch makes high quality jigsaws (about $160) and I recommend these.
On the low end I recommend Grizzly G8994 which is about $60, modeled
after the Bosch, variable speed, orbital action, beveling footplate,
chip blower (no dust collection). Check out Amazon rather than Home
Depot.
you want one with a roller blade guide. The Griz may have it,the Harbor
Freight clone of the Bosch 1581 does at a comparable price.
