I have a 15 year old Challenge jigsaw. Used it for lots of shelving initially and just occasionally since. It does the job adequately and cheaply. Every pro, keen DIYer and macho tool snob will despise it. For anyone else it's fine and you can save your money for other things. Alternatively, find a friend or neighbour with a decent jigsaw, borrow it and buy them a drink. The world is full of expensive unused power-tools that someone once knew they had to have.
I have had a Challenge MJ5018 for twenty years, and it has performed perfectly for all this time. I have used it build professional video camera tracking systems and numerous DIY projects. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it certainly does not owe me anything.
I just bought this and it was a Challenge getting the blade in
@Grace Burn did you manage to get the blade in? coz im really struggling too. Got mine today 🤦♀️🥺
@@annisingoma4587 l did get the blade in. It takes a lot of turns but l did it in the end.
i see what you did there. ;)
I have a similar cheap Jigsaw, German made. Bought it new in the store for 25Euros. 350W, it does the job for me. Am not a professional, am just using it for my hobby, and crafting, so i can cut woods the shape i want. I highly recommend when you buy one of these cheap jigsaw, the blade that comes with it, toss it in the bin! Get a set of quality blades and you are good to go!
I bought this about 10 years ago for just a one off project. I still use it today. That's not to say it's good, I just always seem to need a jigsaw and wish I'd bought a better one from the get go because the blade wanders all over the shop, making precision cuts in all 3 dimensions diabolical.
It works, but only use it for rough fast cuts.
loved yr vid even tho its an oldie, i found it very interesting as being partially sighted i ddint want to spend loads on a saw.... so brought the challenge 350w, and omg i have been trying for over an hour to open the safety guard and to undo the screws, seems bnoth a shut tight.... now im none to happy as we had planned to do some works now things have eased... will waitt ill my son comes and more than likely will return it.thanx for yr vid.
I thought I was the one who didn't know how to use it...I can't get to unscrew the nails with the Allen key to insert the blade..this is now delaying my project...I probably will have to return it
Actually - I have this and for £16.00 it is good value if you just have a couple of small jobs - sounds like you are a rep for Bosch !!!
I have bought one for £13.50.
It was cheaper than a decent hand saw.
But for a quick job it was ok.
Omg am using a 350watt jigsaw on hard worktop taking forever
You brought it to review it then return it
Man what are you even comparing.. It's cheap as hell.. Don't even compare with bosh or anything
Ok so a jigsaw tool review and the nearest timber it gets to is a coffee table! Yeah great review. Not
