The GST 18 V-Li S jigsaw from Bosch Professional is a mushroom handle model that promises fast and precise cuts in all positions. Is this wireless model good for everything?

Separate speed variator.
Straightforward and clean cuts in most wood materials.
Very pleasant handling.
Very handy.
Weak points
Autonomy.
No protection around the blade.

This jigsaw will satisfy demanding DIY enthusiasts who like the job done quickly and well. The Bosch GST 18 V-LI S is a very efficient model for straight cuts, even in thick wood. Quite logically, this performance has a high cost which will be justified in the event of frequent or intensive use of a jigsaw.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Skil 3420 DA cordless jigsaw delivers good performance overall. Without excelling anywhere, it is quite versatile and capable of facing many uses. The 3420 DA is not as precise as a Bosch Professional GST 18V-LI S, but it is much more accessible and easier to use.
