Jig Saw Reviews: A Must-Read before Making a Purchase

A jig saw is also known as a sabre saw and is a common tool for woodworkers. When it comes to cutting tools, this is probably the most useful saw you can have and the first one you should buy. A jig saw can make mitered and curved cuts with ease, although you may be limited as far as thickness is concerned. There are plenty of saws on the market from which you can choose, which is why reading jig saw reviews is such an important thing to do before you spend any money. In this article we'll take a look at five top saws to help you narrow down your choices:

Bosch 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw -- This 6.4 amp jigsaw from Bosch offers four position stroke control, variable speed trigger, one touch blade change, a durable plastic body with soft grip, carrying case and more. It's fairly lightweight and quite affordable, costing under $300.

Skil 4380-RT Orbital Scrolling Jigsaw w/Laser -- One of the best things about this handy little tool is that it can often be found in reconditioned status, which can save you a great deal of money.
