What are the best jigsaws to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Jigsaws in the UK is the Einhell 18V PXC 70mm Cordless Jigsaw with Battery and Charger.
The Einhell 18V PXC 70mm Cordless Jigsaw suits buyers who want a cordless kit with battery and charger included: the listing states 70mm in wood, 8mm in steel and up to 2,700 strokes/min.
The Einhell 18V PXC cordless jigsaw is our top pick because its listing states cuts up to 70mm deep in wood and 8mm in steel, a 20mm stroke height, up to 2,700 strokes/min, a pendulum stroke function and tool-free T-shank blade changes, with a 2.5Ah battery and fast charger in the box. For deeper stated cuts on a corded saw, the Enventor 800W lists 110mm in wood, 10mm in metal and a ±45° aluminium base plate; for a laser cutting guide and a UK 3-pin plug, the HYCHIKA 800W lists both, also with 110mm in wood.
This guide compares six jigsaws from Einhell, Enventor, HYCHIKA, Bosch and SORAKO, two of them 18V cordless saws, using what each listing states: power, strokes per minute, cutting depth, bevel range, pendulum or orbital settings, blade change and what comes in the box. Stated wood cutting depths run from 60mm on the SORAKO to 140 mm on the Bosch AdvancedSaw 18V-140.
Buying guide
What should you look for in Jigsaws?
1Cutting depth: in wood, the listings state 140 mm (Bosch AdvancedSaw 18V-140), 110mm (Enventor and HYCHIKA), 70mm (Einhell) and 60mm (SORAKO); the Bosch PST 800 PEL states straight and curved cuts up to 80 mm in many materials. In metal: 10mm (Enventor and HYCHIKA), 8mm in steel (Einhell) and 5mm (SORAKO).
2Power and speed: Enventor and HYCHIKA list 800W, SORAKO 600W and the Bosch PST 800 PEL 530 W; the Einhell and Bosch AdvancedSaw are 18V cordless saws. Stated stroke rates are 0–3350 SPM (Enventor), 800-3000 SPM (HYCHIKA), 3000 strokes/minute (SORAKO) and up to 2,700 strokes/min (Einhell); neither Bosch listing states a stroke rate.
3Bevel and orbital action: Enventor, HYCHIKA and SORAKO state bevel cuts to 45° either side and 4-position orbital or pendulum settings. The Einhell and Bosch PST 800 PEL list a pendulum function but no bevel range, and the Bosch AdvancedSaw listing mentions neither.
4Blade change and dust: Einhell (T-shank mount), Enventor (metal lever), HYCHIKA (quick-release chuck) and SORAKO list blade changes without tools. Bosch says the AdvancedSaw extracts up to 85 % of dust directly at the blade; Enventor lists a dust-blowing function and a 39mm dust port, SORAKO a dust and chip extraction system, HYCHIKA a dust blower, and Einhell a blow-off and a suction adapter.
5In the box: Enventor lists 10 blades and a metal guide ruler, HYCHIKA 6 T-shank blades and a guide ruler, and SORAKO 2 saw blades, a guide ruler and a dust extraction connector. The Bosch PST 800 PEL comes in a plastic case with one T 144 D blade, the Einhell kit includes a 2.5Ah battery, a fast charger and one wood blade, and the Bosch AdvancedSaw 18V-140 lists 3 T 144D blades but no battery or charger.
Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
None of the six jigsaw listings states a warranty term. Neither Bosch listing gives a stroke rate, and bevel ranges appear on the Enventor, HYCHIKA and SORAKO listings. HYCHIKA is the one listing to state a standard: CE certified to UK safety standards.

As a default, pick the Einhell 18V PXC cordless jigsaw: 70mm in wood and 8mm in steel, up to 2,700 strokes/min, tool-free T-shank blade changes and a 2.5Ah battery and charger in the box. For deeper cuts on a corded saw, the Enventor 800W lists 110mm in wood and a ±45° aluminium base plate; for a laser guide and a UK 3-pin plug, the HYCHIKA 800W lists both, also with 110mm in wood.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
How deep can a jigsaw cut?
In wood, the listings state 140 mm (Bosch AdvancedSaw 18V-140), 110mm (Enventor and HYCHIKA), 70mm (Einhell) and 60mm (SORAKO); the Bosch PST 800 PEL says up to 80 mm in many materials. Metal figures are smaller: 10mm (Enventor and HYCHIKA), 8mm in steel (Einhell) and 5mm (SORAKO).
Can a jigsaw cut metal?
Four of these listings give a metal depth: Enventor and HYCHIKA state 10mm, Einhell up to 8mm in steel and SORAKO 5mm. Enventor includes 2 metal blades and HYCHIKA 2 blades for metal and aluminium; the Einhell kit includes one blade, for wood.
What is the difference between the corded and cordless jigsaws here?
The Einhell and Bosch AdvancedSaw 18V-140 are 18V cordless saws: the Einhell comes with a 2.5Ah battery and fast charger, while the Bosch AdvancedSaw's scope of supply names no battery or charger. Enventor, HYCHIKA and SORAKO describe themselves as corded and list 800W, 800W and 600W; SORAKO states a 2 metre cord and HYCHIKA a UK 3-pin plug.
What does pendulum or orbital action do on a jigsaw?
Enventor describes its 4-position orbital action this way: position 0 is for straight cuts and positions 1–3 for curved cuts, with higher settings cutting faster in softer materials and lower settings slower and more precise in harder ones. HYCHIKA and SORAKO also list 4 positions, and the Einhell and Bosch PST 800 PEL list a pendulum function.
Do you need tools to change a jigsaw blade?
Not on four of these: Einhell, Enventor, HYCHIKA and SORAKO list blade changes without tools, using a T-shank mount (Einhell), a metal lever (Enventor) and a quick-release chuck (HYCHIKA). The two Bosch listings do not describe how the blade is changed.
Which jigsaws have a laser guide or LED light?
HYCHIKA lists a built-in laser beam that marks the cutting line, and Enventor a built-in LED light that illuminates the cutting area. The Einhell, SORAKO and both Bosch listings mention neither.
