I love my Bosch jig saw. It is only a year old and has not seen a ton of use yet. Having said that, I already bent the front of the saw’s aluminum shoe. I was using it to help to demolition some old boards that I replaced on our outdoor porch steps.
Too much brute force to cut through the old boards, and bam, bent tool.
I ordered a new aluminum shoe last night…$17 dollar lesson on using the wrong tool for the job. My jig saw is for woodworking, not demolition.
