I agree completely! Excellent saw, epiphany after using an old B&D.
Bosch does make a cordless jigsaw, and from everything I've read , it's
about as good as the 'tailed' one, just costs an extra hundred bucks.
So if you have the dough you can lose the cord. But even the cord on
the new bosch is so much nicer (softer, longer, doesn't pull the tool
around) than the old jigsaw (or old anything else) that I think I'll
keep mine around a little longer just to enjoy that.
