Jigsaw recommendation
I'm going to be removing some windows in an outdoor addition to my
house. This addition was installed by the previous owner and unfortunately he used particle board for the walls. These walls have molded very badly despite all my efforts otherwise. They are beyond repair (not that I'd repair them anyway). There are 5 relatively new windows in excellent condition I want to remove from these walls before I tear the extension down. The walls are vinyl-sded on the outside and painted on the inside. There is a small layer of insulation in between. I need a good jigsaw to tear through all this to remove the windows. What kind of jigsaw would be best for this application, and how many amps should it be rated? Would I be better off with an orbital saw? I've seen several brands: B&D, Craftsman, Craftsman Professional, DeWalt, Mikita, Milwaukee Skil, and others. I've heard good things about DeWalt and Mikita but most of the 6+amp models are out of my price range. I really don't want to spend over $120. Any comments? |
