Jigsaw comparisons

Not sure which to pick? Compare models head-to-head on specs, performance and price.

Most jigsaw decisions come down to two or three saws on a shortlist — a Bosch against a Makita, a corded model against its cordless sibling, last year's bargain against this year's brushless update. These write-ups put the contenders side by side and call the winner by use-case, not just by the biggest number on the box. Want to pit two specific models we haven't paired yet?

How to compare jigsaws fairly

Compare like with like. A 700 W corded saw and an 18 V cordless one can cut the same 135 mm of timber, so weigh runtime and freedom from the cord against constant mains power. Check stroke length and orbital stages for cutting speed, the bevel mechanism for angled work, and weight for comfort on long or overhead cuts. Two saws with identical headline specs can still feel worlds apart — that's where the full reviews earn their keep.
