What Budget-Price 240V Jig Saw?

[Ross365]

My ancient Black and Decker jig saw needs replacing. I don't use it very often, so wonder what I can buy to replace it for ~£30. A quick search finds (variable speed model needed);

Einhell 80 3 speed £24
Titan 600W 6 speed Screwfix £24
Hilka 400w £24 ebay
Draper Storm Force® Orbital Jigsaw, 550W £30 ebay.

Any recommendations appreciated

Second hand Makita one. You can leave it to someone in your will and they will use it long after you are gone:

Flea market purchase for £15, old B&D P2992A variable speed pendulum action. It will run slow enough to count the revolutions and the pendulum action makes cutting thin stuff a lot easier.

Should be the opposite. It's for helping with thicker/harder material.

Einhell and Titan are both fairly decent for budget stuff, if you buy from screw fix they are pretty good with returns if you don’t like it

I found that cheap jigsaws are a bit crap, I finally bought a nice new Bosch one that really is much nicer to use. If you can find a second hand one of those I'd recommend it.
I tripped over the lead pulling it off the bench the other day but I think it survived without damage...

but when i can use it as a scroll saw it comes in handy

Are you in a hurry?
No1 son is handing down his fleet of Einhal battery tools as he is upgrading.
I have the drill and impact, but I'm waiting for the jigsaw and grinder.
Once I have the jigsaw, I can sell you my 240v Makita jigsaw.
I can check the exact model and specifications if you are interested.
