recommend me a jigsaw/place to buy a jigsaw

[zixxer]

everynow and then I need to cut a 2x4 or shape a piece of plywood or something, and need a jigsaw


What's a good brand and place to buy one?

Amazon.com has a tool section.

Harbor Freight has one on sale for $20 right now. It's probably worth $20.

I bought a Dewalt Jigsaw from home depot 6 months ago for $99, and it's the best jigsaw I have ever used.

Umm, any hardware store. Sears, Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Ace, True Value... Pick one. Can probably even go to Target and look in their Tool Section too.

This is probably the best one on the market right now Bosch 1590 - $170 I don't know if you wanted the best or just a decent jig saw. You don't need the top of the line Bosch, I have the Bosch 1587 - $140 and it does an excellent job. Foir occasional work, all of them will get you what you want

I also have the Bosch 1587 jig saw. I purchased mine about 2 months ago. Prior to that, I had owned a $19 Craftsman jig saw for the past 18 years and the plate would vibrate so none of my cuts would be straight. For a hobbyist, maybe the cheaper saws are fine. But, you only live once - do it right and just take 5 minutes to check out the Bosch saw. Variable speed ... awesome blade selection and wonderful quality.
