Cordless jigsaws own the cordless-platform shop and on-site curve cuts. Corded models (especially Bosch barrel-grips) still lead for vibration control and blade-tracking accuracy on heavy stock.
Power source
Battery-powered. Best for curve cuts, plunge cuts, and on-site work where dragging a cord ruins accuracy.
