Hi
Im looking for a new jigsaw as the old one has had it. Im undecided just now but i may go for one of the 2 current dewalt models. Anyone here used one?
also the body grip type jigsaw's. has anyone used one of those? are they better/worse than a standard d handle type of tool? do they use the same method of speed control as a standard type saw?
regards
Paul |

My friend has the corded version and I have the 18v cordless version, I absolutely love mine and it is the best jigsaw that I have ever owned. I also have a Bosch GST2000 and the Dewalt is much better IMHO.
The Dewalt Jigsaws are normally very well built and have parts made from Magnesium etc.
Some people do not like Dewalt, but I have not had any problems so far.

cool, I had considered the bosch saws aswell. i had looked at the gst 2000 and the gst 135
A mate of mine has the dw331 though ive not used his yet.
I had also looked at the older model dw321 but it would mean buying 2nd hand |

My cordless one is good, but I think it would struggle on a kitchen worktop, but with a few batteries they are ok.
I can't remember what model number my mate has, but he uses it all the time for cutting worktops etc and has not had any issues with it so far.

| Take a look at the Bosch. I love Dewalt, but the Bosch jigsaw is very nice. |
