Jigsaws

Highly portable, and now available cordlessly, jigsaws cut through metal, wood, plastics, aluminium, laminates and ceramic tiles - as long as you fit the right blades for the job. Because of their narrow blade, they're particularly ideal for cutting curves and awkward shapes. That makes them very useful if you're cutting shelves, laminate flooring, kitchen worktops, skirting board and shapes to make items like toys.

A jigsaw has a slim reciprocating blade that cuts on the upstroke as you feed it into the edge of the wood or board (except for a laminate cutting blade, which cuts on the downstroke). If you do little more than the occasional sawing job, a single-speed jigsaw with an input power of 350-400 watts is ideal. Depending on the size of blade fitted, it'll cut wood up to 50mm-55mm thick - and a model with an adjustable soleplate will allow you to make bevelled cuts at angles of up to 45 degrees.

Spend a little more, and you could own a jigsaw with a range of additional features - like more power and a faster, deeper cutting performance. You can also expect things like variable speed control, pendulum action and an anti-splinter device for smoother, chip-free cutting (essential if you're cutting faced boards and laminated worktops). Cordless models are an ideal choice if you plan to use your saw regularly, or do not have access to a power supply in your workshop.
