Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Bosch PST 800 PEL is a corded jigsaw with a 530 W motor, supplied in a plastic case for £59.00. It takes the number 6 spot in this guide with a 4.7 rating from 2,657 Amazon reviews — a strong score, and one of the higher review counts in the round-up.
What makes this listing worth reading closely is the same fault that runs through the category: the spec table does not agree with itself. Power source is listed as "Corded" and voltage as 230 Volts, which is mains voltage. In the same table, the listing states "1 Lithium Ion batteries required" and puts "Brushless" under other special features. A tool that runs from a 230 V mains cable and a lithium-ion battery is one or the other, not both — and a jigsaw that needs a battery is not the corded model described at the top of its own ficha. The cutting claims are more concrete: straight and curved cuts up to 80 mm in many materials, a 45-degree cutting angle and a 2 kg body. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product, not from any test of ours.
