AEG STEP100X

Reliable work horse - still great after heavy use – I have used this jigsaw for hundreds of hours now, and it is still as good as new. It comes with a 6 year warranty, and it looks like I won’t need to claim on the warranty. And it was the cheapest 700 watt model on offer at Bunnings. It has enough power to cut through 50mm planks of wood (fairly slowly of course), and to do everything else I needed to do.

It has all the usual features, such as quick release for the blade, and angle cutting in both directions. The only improvement I can think of would be to have a wing nut to enable angle adjustment, rather than having to use a hex key to loosen the fixing bolt.

Highly recommended.
