This range covers corded and cordless jigsaws for curved and straight cuts in wood, board, metal and plastic. It suits kitchen and furniture work needing tight curves, site carpenters wanting one saw for varied cutting tasks, and DIY users after a versatile, easy-to-control tool.
Choosing a jigsaw
Pendulum action, where the blade moves slightly forward as well as up and down, speeds up cutting in wood but is usually switched off for cleaner cuts in metal or laminate. Stroke length and cutting speed, often variable, affect how fast and how cleanly the saw cuts through different materials. Cordless jigsaws suit site work and awkward positions where a cord gets in the way, while corded models give consistent power for longer cutting sessions. Blade clamping systems vary by brand, so check that replacement blades for your model are easy to source.
Brands stocked
The range includes Makita, Bosch Professional, Metabo, Festool, Einhell and Hikoki.
PTS carries stock in Cape Town with nationwide courier delivery, and staff who use these saws can help match a model to your cutting needs.
