Well I have had a B&D jigsaw for about 20 years.

Same as me. They don't work very well, but the #@!$% thing just
wouldn't break. I hated to replace it when I needed the money for tools
I didn't have :-).

Yeah, mine wouldn't break either....might be because I hated it so much I
just didn't use it. Hard to break 'em if you don't use 'em and just can't
bring yourself to throw it against the nearest block wall a few times.

Hey, at least you can break a B&D by throwing it at a wall. I kind of wish
my Bosch would break so that I'd have an excuse to get a new one with a
tilting shoe, quick blade release, and dust blower. But I don't think I
want to replace the wall that badly (I suspect the wall would break before
the saw).
