# Best Jigsaw 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Wattage Numbers That Don't Add Up Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws Published: 2026-09-15 | Updated: 2026-09-16 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-15 Most specification tables in this category mix measurements with numbers that were never measurements. The WORX WX543.9 lists 543.9 watts in its power field; 543.9 is the model number, written down twice. The RYOBI R18JS-0 lists 4,500 Milliwatts, which is 4.5 watts, for a saw that claims to cut 101 mm of wood. An 18 V Einhell body-only model is listed at 12 watts. Meanwhile the same HYCHIKA M1Q-DU03-110 appears in two listings at once, at £33.98 and £37.99 — £4.01 apart for the same machine. Choosing the best jigsaw starts with reading past all of that. We ranked ten of the best jigsaw models on Amazon on three things you can check yourself: the specification fields that actually describe the tool, what arrives in the box for the price, and the rating breakdown rather than the average alone. Where a listing contradicts itself, we say so. ## The ranking ### 1. DEWALT DCS335N-XJ 18V XR Brushless Body Grip Jigsaw (Bare Unit) - Price: £179.00 | Amazon rating: 4.7 from 772 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/dewalt-dcs335n-body-grip-jigsaw - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q521T12?tag=ranked10-21 First in this best jigsaw ranking on two checkable figures: 3,200 RPM, the joint-highest speed quoted here, and 86 of its 100 ratings at five stars. The DCS335N-XJ takes first place on two numbers you can verify. Its 3,200 RPM is the joint-highest quoted speed in this group, and 86 of the 100 ratings in its breakdown are five stars, against 772 ratings overall at 4.7. At £179.00 it is the most expensive saw here, and it is the only body-grip design on the list — which matters if you cut upside down. The brushless motor, all-metal keyless blade change and all-metal bevel shoe are the practical parts. The shoe has detents at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, so bevel settings repeat instead of drifting. A 4-position pendulum action, a dust blower and a 2.1 kg body round it out: it is the best jigsaw for wood in this group on quoted speed, and one of the heavier ones. Do not buy it if you are not already on the 18 V XR platform. It arrives as a bare unit: no battery, no charger, and no blade in the box despite the 20-teeth field. Battery and charger are extra, which pushes the real cost well past £179.00. Pros: 3,200 RPM quoted — joint-highest speed in this group; 86 of 100 ratings are five stars, from 772 ratings at 4.7; Brushless motor with all-metal keyless blade change and bevel shoe; Bevel detents at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° for repeatable angled cuts; Dust blower and 4-position pendulum action Cons: Bare unit: no battery, no charger and no blade included; £179.00 — the highest price on this list; 2.1 kg is among the heaviest bodies here; Runtime depends on batteries bought separately ### 2. Einhell TE-JS 18/100 Li-Solo 18V Cordless Jigsaw, Body Only - Price: £74.95 | Amazon rating: 4.8 from 207 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/einhell-cordless-jigsaw-18v - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DZNPG373?tag=ranked10-21 Second: a 100 mm cut in wood from a body-only 18 V saw at £74.95, with 86 of 100 ratings at five stars. Depth is the number that separates this one. Einhell quotes 100 mm in wood and 12 mm in steel from a 26 mm stroke, at up to 3,000 strokes per minute and 45° of bevel. Only one listing on this page prints a deeper wood figure, and that one also claims 4,500 milliwatts of power. In practice the details are sensible: a switchable pendulum stroke, anti-splintering protection, a dust blow-off function and a suction adapter, plus an LED. Blade changes are tool-free. It runs on the Power X-Change battery family, so one set of batteries covers other Einhell tools. However, £74.95 buys the body only. The battery field reads '1 Unknown batteries required', which is not a specification, and no charger is included. If you own no PXC cells, this is not the cheap option it looks. Pros: 100 mm maximum cut in wood, 12 mm in steel; 26 mm stroke and up to 3,000 strokes per minute; 86 of 100 ratings are five stars, at 4.8 from 207 ratings; Anti-splinter guard, dust blow-off, suction adapter and LED; Tool-free blade change; one wood blade supplied Cons: Body only: no battery and no charger; Battery field reads '1 Unknown batteries required' — meaningless; Only one blade included, against six with the cheapest corded saw here; Warranty field reads 'True' rather than a duration ### 3. Bosch Professional GST 18V-125 B Cordless Jigsaw in L-BOXX - Price: £212.19 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 196 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/bosch-gst-18v-125-b - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BS9RND5N?tag=ranked10-21 Third: the priciest saw here at £212.19, sold bare in an L-BOXX, with 78 of 100 ratings at five stars. The GST 18V-125 B quotes 180 watts and 1,900 RPM from an 18 V brushless motor, with a 4-stage orbital action and 45° bevels. Its 78 five-star ratings out of 100 sit behind 196 ratings at 4.6 overall. It ships in an L-BOXX 136 with an inlay, a T 144 D wood blade, a dust extraction set and an anti-splinter guard. At the same time, 1,900 RPM is the lowest quoted speed of any cordless saw on this list; the others run from 2,600 to 3,200. The 4-stage orbital action is what compensates, because you trade surface finish for feed rate as you move up the stages. The stackable L-BOXX is the other real advantage if you already carry Bosch Professional cases. Two things are worth noting before you buy. First, the dimensions field reads 10 × 10 × 10 millimetres, which describes nothing on a 1.95 kg saw. Second, £212.19 is the highest price here and it is still a bare tool, with no battery and no charger. Pros: 4-stage orbital action plus speed selection; Brushless motor, 180 W quoted, 1,900 RPM; Ships in an L-BOXX 136 with inlay and a T 144 D wood blade; Dust extraction set and anti-splinter guard included; 78 of 100 ratings are five stars, from 196 ratings at 4.6 Cons: £212.19 — the highest price here, for a bare tool; 1,900 RPM is the slowest quoted cordless speed on this list; No battery and no charger in the box; Dimensions field reads 10 × 10 × 10 millimetres — not a usable size ### 4. RYOBI RJS18BL-0 18V ONE+ Brushless Jigsaw (Body Only) - Price: £139.99 | Amazon rating: 4.8 from 64 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/ryobi-one-plus-brushless-jigsaw - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DBHR21HX?tag=ranked10-21 Fourth: the cleanest rating spread on the page — 89 of 100 ratings at five stars — on a brushless 18 V body at £139.99. This is the pick among the best cordless jigsaw options for curves, on two counts. The brushless motor quotes 3,200 RPM, joint-highest here, and the tool-free blade clamp plus tool-free bevel adjustment mean you can switch between straight and curved work without hunting for an Allen key. For a best jigsaw for cutting curves, that combination is the point. The base plate is premium aluminium die-cast with a cover, which adds rigidity where a pressed steel shoe flexes. There is a 1-handed speed control and a 4-stage pendulum action. At 1.9 kg it is one of the lighter bodies here. By contrast with the older RYOBI lower down this list, this one costs £139.99 against £61.59 and carries 64 ratings against 1,587. Battery and charger are excluded, and the 'Included Components' field says only 'Attachments'. If you want the largest body of owner experience, the cheaper RYOBI is the safer bet. Pros: 3,200 RPM quoted, joint-highest in this group; 89 of 100 ratings are five stars; 4.8 from 64 ratings; Tool-free blade clamp and tool-free bevel change; Aluminium die-cast base plate with cover; 1-handed speed control, 4-stage pendulum action, 1.9 kg Cons: Battery and charger excluded at £139.99; Only 64 ratings, against 1,587 for the cheaper RYOBI; 'Included Components' field reads 'Attachments' with no detail; No cutting depth in wood quoted anywhere in the specification ### 5. RYOBI R18JS-0 18V ONE+ Jigsaw (Body Only) - Price: £61.59 | Amazon rating: 4.7 from 1,587 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/ryobi-r18js-0-18v-jigsaw - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HZRXPQM?tag=ranked10-21 Fifth on volume and price: 1,587 ratings at 4.7 for £61.59, on a listing whose wattage field reads 4,500 milliwatts. Start with the contradiction, because it is the clearest one here. The wattage field says 4,500 Milliwatts. That is 4.5 watts. The same listing quotes cuts of 101 mm in wood and 6 mm in steel from a 25 mm stroke, at 1,100 to 3,000 strokes per minute. A 4.5 W motor does not cut 101 mm of wood, so one of those figures came from a form rather than from a machine. Meanwhile the rest of the specification is ordinary and reasonable: an adjustable aluminium base to 45°, a lock-on switch to reduce fatigue, T-shank blade fitment, four pendulum adjustments, an LED work light and a tool-free blade clamp. It weighs 2.1 kg and is sold body-only on the 18 V ONE+ system. Even so, the listing has a second oddity: the dimensions read 35.4 × 10.6 × 90.6 centimetres, and a 2.1 kg jigsaw is not 90.6 cm tall. Do not buy this one if you need a battery in the box, or if you want a dust blow-off, because none is listed. Pros: 1,587 ratings at 4.7 — the second-largest sample here; £61.59, the cheapest cordless saw on this list; 25 mm stroke, up to 3,000 strokes per minute, 45° bevel; Tool-free blade clamp, LED work light and lock-on switch; Compatible with every 18 V ONE+ battery Cons: Wattage field reads 4,500 Milliwatts — that is 4.5 W; Dimensions read 35.4 × 10.6 × 90.6 cm for a 2.1 kg tool; Body only: no battery and no charger; No dust blower listed; no wood depth beyond the bullet text ### 6. Bosch PST 800 PEL Corded Jigsaw, 530 W, in Case - Price: £59.00 | Amazon rating: 4.7 from 2,657 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/bosch-pst-800-pel - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003UES79E?tag=ranked10-21 Sixth: the cheapest corded saw here, 530 W for £59.00 with 2,657 ratings, on a listing that contradicts itself twice. This is the strongest best electric jigsaw candidate on price: 530 watts, 230 V mains, £59.00 and 2,657 ratings at 4.7. It cuts up to 80 mm and includes CutControl and a splinter guard, plus a T 144 D blade and a plastic case. In theory the pendulum action gives you fast straight cuts while CutControl and the splinter guard keep the edge clean. Bosch also claims minimal vibration and a compact 2 kg body. The blade length field reads 80 mm, matching the quoted cut depth. The catch sits in the same row of specs that sells it. The listing describes a 230 V mains saw as 'Brushless' and then says '1 Lithium Ion batteries required'. Both cannot be true. If you need a battery saw, this is not it; if you need a mains saw, ignore both lines and buy it on the 530 W figure. Pros: 530 W corded motor at £59.00; 2,657 ratings at 4.7 — the largest sample on this list; Cuts up to 80 mm, with CutControl and splinter guard; T 144 D blade and plastic case included; 2 kg, described as low-vibration and compact Cons: Listing says both 'Brushless' and '1 Lithium Ion batteries required'; Corded: you need a socket within reach of the work; 'Included Components' field reads '1' with no detail; Some spare parts are described as available only in sets of five ### 7. Einhell 18V PXC Cordless Jigsaw, 70mm, with Battery & Charger - Price: £59.54 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 242 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/einhell-cordless-jigsaw-18v-pxc - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DDY5J16C?tag=ranked10-21 Seventh: the cheapest route here to a working cordless saw — 70 mm cuts, a 2.5 Ah battery and a charger for £59.54. Most of the picks on this page arrive without a battery. This one does not. For £59.54 you get a 2.5 Ah 18 V battery, a fast charger, one wood blade, a suction adapter and a hex key, alongside a saw that cuts 70 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel at up to 2,700 RPM. The rest of the specification is familiar Einhell: a pendulum stroke function, anti-splinter protection, speed electronics that let you match the motor to the material, a blow-off to clear the cut line, and tool-free T-shank blade changes. It weighs 2.12 kg. That said, 4.4 from 242 ratings is the joint-lowest score in the top half of this list, and the breakdown shows 4 ratings at one star and 2 at two stars. If you already own PXC batteries, the body-only 100 mm model at £74.95 cuts 30 mm deeper for £15 more and saves you paying for a second battery. Pros: Battery and charger included at £59.54; 2.5 Ah 18 V lithium-ion battery plus fast charger; 70 mm in wood, 8 mm in steel, up to 2,700 RPM; Pendulum stroke, anti-splinter protection and blow-off; Runs on the Power X-Change family, over 300 tools Cons: 4.4 from 242 ratings — joint-lowest in the top half here; 4 one-star and 2 two-star ratings in the breakdown; 70 mm maximum in wood, 30 mm less than the bare Einhell above it; No cutting depth quoted for plastic or metal beyond steel ### 8. Einhell 18V PXC Cordless Jigsaw, Body Only - Price: £48.47 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 5,771 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/einhell-cordless-jigsaw-18v-pxc-be3u - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T6CBE3U?tag=ranked10-21 Eighth: the largest review sample here at 5,771 ratings, 4.5 overall, and the cheapest body-only saw at £48.47. The wattage field on this listing reads 12 watts. On an 18 V saw that is not a measurement of anything; it is a placeholder. The same row quotes 3,000 RPM and an 80 mm blade, and the bullets describe cutting wood, plastic and metal with a four-position pendulum stroke. As a best jigsaw for DIY, the practical list is solid: a splinter guard, a dust blow-off function, a vacuum cleaner adapter, tool-free blade changes, an LED light, and a robust sawing shoe with a plastic insert and an attachable cutting line display. At 1.82 kg it is the lightest saw on this page. The catch is the price you actually pay. £48.47 buys the bare tool, and the battery field says '1 Unknown batteries required'. If you own no PXC batteries, the 70 mm kit at £59.54 costs £11.07 more and includes a battery and a charger, which makes it the cheaper first purchase. Pros: 5,771 ratings at 4.5 — by far the largest sample here; £48.47, the lowest price of any cordless saw on this list; 1.82 kg — the lightest saw here; Four-position pendulum, splinter guard, blow-off and vacuum adapter; Tool-free blade change, LED light and cutting line display Cons: Wattage field reads 12 watts on an 18 V tool; Bare tool: no battery and no charger; '1 Unknown batteries required' is not a specification; The kit version with battery and charger costs only £11.07 more ### 9. HYCHIKA 800W Corded Jigsaw with 6 Blades and Laser Guide - Price: £33.98 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 2,223 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/hychika-800w-jigsaw - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S22ZJLD?tag=ranked10-21 Ninth: the best budget jigsaw here at £33.98 with six blades and 2,223 ratings — but the same model is listed at £37.99 elsewhere. The HYCHIKA M1Q-DU03-110 is the best budget jigsaw on this page at £33.98, with 2,223 ratings at 4.4. It quotes 800 watts and 800 to 3,000 SPM, six speed levels, a -45° to +45° bevel and a 0-3 orbital setting, and it arrives with six T-shank blades, a guide ruler and a Class 2 laser guide. The identical model number, M1Q-DU03-110, also appears in a second Amazon listing priced at £37.99. That is £4.01 more for the same jigsaw, so check which listing you are on before you pay. In practice a laser guide and guide ruler are two features the pricier cordless saws here do not offer at all. However, read the depth claims carefully. The 110 mm figure is given for PVC in the bullet text, and the surface recommendation field says 'Plastic'. Wood cutting depth is not stated in the specification fields at all. At 2.5 kg with a mains cable and a CR2032 for the laser, it is the least portable saw here. Pros: £33.98 — the lowest price on this list; 800 W, 800-3,000 SPM and six speed levels; Six T-shank blades, guide ruler and Class 2 laser guide included; -45° to +45° bevel and 0-3 orbital action; 2,223 ratings at 4.4 Cons: The same model number is listed at £37.99 — £4.01 more; The 110 mm depth is quoted for PVC, not for wood; No wood cutting depth in the specification fields; Corded, 2.5 kg, and the laser needs a CR2032 ### 10. WORX WX543.9 20V PowerShare Cordless Jigsaw, Tool Only - Price: £79.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 177 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-jigsaws/worx-wx5439-cordless-jigsaw - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0828GYXVP?tag=ranked10-21 Tenth: a 20 V body-only saw at £79.99 whose wattage field reads 543.9 watts — the model number, not a measurement. The wattage field on the WX543.9 reads 543.9 watts. That is the model number typed into a power field. The saw itself is a 20 V battery tool quoted at 2,600 RPM. There is no 543.9 W motor here, and the figure tells you nothing about cutting anything. What the listing does describe is sensible: a 4-position pendulum action, a full metal bevel base with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45° on both sides, a precision blade guide for tight curves, an LED light, a dust blower, a variable speed trigger and a dust extractor port. 76 of its 100 ratings are five stars. The warranty runs to three years when registered online. Crucially, no cutting depth in wood is quoted anywhere in the specification, and at £79.99 it costs more than the £74.95 Einhell body-only saw that states 100 mm. It is also tool-only, with the battery and charger sold separately. Buy it on the base plate and the bevel stops, not on the wattage. Pros: Full metal bevel base with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°; 4-position pendulum action and precision blade guide; LED light and dust blower for cut-line visibility; 76 of 100 ratings are five stars; 177 ratings at 4.6; Three-year warranty when registered online Cons: Wattage field reads 543.9 watts — that is the model number; No cutting depth in wood quoted in the specification; Tool only: battery and charger sold separately; £79.99, more than the £74.95 Einhell that states 100 mm ## Verdict For most homes, the corded Bosch PST 800 PEL at £59.00 is the cheapest route to 530 W and 80 mm cuts — provided you accept a cable and ignore the 'Brushless' and '1 Lithium Ion' lines in its own listing. If you already own 18 V batteries, the bare Einhell at £74.95 cuts 100 mm in wood for less than either brushless saw, and the DEWALT DCS335N-XJ at £179.00 stays the best jigsaw for wood among the cordless group on quoted speed. For a first cordless saw, the £59.54 Einhell kit is the only sub-£60 option here that arrives with a battery and charger, which means it beats the £48.47 body-only saw for anyone starting from nothing. Either way, treat this as a cordless jigsaw buying guide first and a best jigsaw ranking second: check what is in the box before you check the wattage.
