In Response To: Best Jig saw for the job (Foster Nuffer)
After using a cheapie borrowed Crapsman on my first boat, I saved up and purchased a Bosch (the type with a handle, don't know model number). The power and smoothness are simply amazing compared to other saws I've tried. Their quick change blades also work quite well after a bit of practice.
For sanders or routers, I'd steer toward Porter Cable, but for jig saws, Bosch is DA ONE.
You may want to check prices on Amazon.com. (They purchased Tool Crib of the North which used to have good prices and availability on such items.)
