Default Thumbs up on Aldi Jigsaw

Just got round to using it on cutting the Laminate, gives a nice straight
cut and its blades are not too bad considering they were only £2.99 a pack
10.

:-)

Nope! but then again I use a router on worktops or a circular and will only
use it for cutting out holes in worktops ie sinks ect.

Right tools for the job...can't go wrong. ;-)

I've got a couple of Parkside power tools and I reckon they're better
quality than other el cheapos. Not tried the jigsaw, though - I've already
got a decent one of those.

I thought I had a reasonably good B & D one - thought... I know 'good'
and 'B&D' don't go together, but this cheapy jigsaw from Lidls beats
the pants of it. My introduction to good jigsaws was my brother's
Festool one and this wee Lidls one reminds of that a bit in terms of
it's accuracy and ability to hold a line.

Ouch. Hope usenet doesn't get up there so Andy can see this. He might
return and haunt us.
