Are corded jigsaws still worth buying in 2024?

For shop use, yes. The reviewers and subreddit threads in our data repeatedly note that corded models like the Bosch JS470E and DeWalt DW331K still out-cut all but the newest brushless 18V tools, with no runtime limits and lower price-per-watt. Cordless wins for site work and quick cuts; corded wins for sustained, high-power cutting in hardwood or thick stock.
