About this deal

yes definately looks to me like your pushing the body unevenly causing extra pressure on the nose your support should be mostly down and gentle forward pressure where as it looks like mostly forward and little down I would like to warn anybody that was thinking of buying a Parkside reciprocating saw that they are not worth it at any price. A lot of the pro dewalt/makita fan teams will probably say I told you so, what do you expect from Supermarket brands but the actual jigsaw itself wasn't bad at all. I also contemplated modifying the base as its clearly bent at the point they have skimped on the side supports of the base however that will make the warranty void even though if any things gonna go wrong it will be the motor/switch side.

The saw is powerful enough to cut most thing to a diameter of a 100 mm easy, it starts to slow a bit with bigger longer blades.Gumtree.com Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of CarMoney Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 674094.

I wish it were possible to rotate the head of the unit by 90 degrees instead of having to hold it at an angle. Also, having a speed control that can be pre-set instead of having a variable one built into the trigger would make my job easier. With my 'old' but new looking jigsaw in need of some technical attention I would be very interested to know the name of any nearby workshop that would undertake the repair of any Parkside tool. However, now that I have experienced what I can only regard as a premature breakdown, I am having to re-assess just how wise it is to invest in tools that have little or no after sales service support. Parkside Jigsaw Variable Speed 730W New In Case never been used have plugged in to mains to test and works fine, also a powerful machine with spare blade and parallel guide.Phone calls to the Parkside 'service' line were very unfruitful. From the conversation with this service line, it transpired that they only deal with tools less than three years old. In such situation a full replacement is always offered.

I bought one from Lidl on the basis that it looked the part and assuming that it is only used for rough work it would help my ageing arms. I was wrong. This saw makes light work of sawing through dead trees up to a certain size and the 2 amp batteries seem to last long enough to clear a good few fallen trees and branches that have become obstacles along the woodland paths before they run out of juice.

Equipped with a powerful motor, the Parkside PSSA 20-Li A1 delivers efficient and precise cutting results. It is designed to cut through different materials, including wood and plastic, with ease. The saw also features adjustable cutting angles, allowing users to achieve the desired cutting depth and angle for their specific project. The Parkside has only done about 30 minutes of work, but conked out in the middle of a cut 22/10/12. The original blade is still as sharp as a razor.

Strong, robust, well made saw, put in the right blade for the job at hand and it cuts through cleanly. Recommended. This may make you feel a little happier when I say that I've bent every last D-handle jigsaw I've ever owned.... That's two Bosch blue jigsaws, a Metabo jigsaw and a Makita cordless. It's because with a D-handle jigsaw you generally need to apply downwards pressure to keep the baseplate on the material and when the blade is getting blunt or the material is uneven - such as cutting out in floors, etc - the pressure both downwards and forwards increases and the jigsaws take on a gentle slope at the front. I've noticed this on quite a few other tradesmen's jigsaws as well (both metalworkers and woodworkers), so I know I'm not alone. The difference is that this bend is created over a 1 to 3 year period - not a single weekend! I suspect the baseplate design of youre saw simply isn't up to the task at hand

I'm not annoyed its bent, I'm more annoyed it didn't live up to the build quality of the other cordless tools I have which are generally good for moderate use. I say industrial loosely. We may do install work 3-4 times a year so rather than spending hundreds on a trade jigsaw, for occasional use I'd have thought that it may have been alright for that small use.Now, I had bought it for doing odd electrical tray work, although I'm no spark, we do abit of install work of new equipment from time to time and for occasional use was perfect.
