In Response To: Best Jig saw for the job (Foster Nuffer)

I have a lot of power tools in my garage (2 table saw, 4 routers, 2 sawsall, 3 jig saws....), but I ended up using my japanese pull saw to cut my panels. Why? All the power tools are are buried amoung "the power tools," my pull saw was nicely hanging on the wall in clear view.
It does not need a lot of effort to cut through those thin plywood anyway; any saw will do. However, if you want a long lasting tool, buy any recommended saws listed above by the others.
