Triton TJS001 Decoupeerzaag, 750 W

This is quite a large bulky unit with the body grip on the large side for my medium sized hands, the on/off switch is not that great again the large body grip does not help with this, perhaps OK for some with with very large hands? This is taller by a half inch and longer by 1.5 inch than my old Bosch Jigsaw making it awkward when working inside Kitchen cabinets.

But where this really falls down is; when using a standard contour cutting blade as supplied by Bosch this tool cannot cut through a standard 40mm counter top, my old Bosch Jigsaw has done this many times using this same type of blade and uses 80% of the 50mm cutting edge of the contour blade, the Triton only cuts to 30mm using only 60% of the 50mm blade, this also suggests there will be 20% less lifespan to the blade as well as being hopeless for use to cut any contours into a worktop.

I had been using an old Elu body grip Jigsaw for many years and I find this not to be half as good as the Elu, it is so much bigger and so heavy, plus the on/off switch is not near as good as the old type trigger switch, doing a lot of fine work with a scrolling blade I find this tool to be rather cumbersome, I now regret not paying that little extra to get the equivalent body grip in the Bosch.

I replaced an old Bosch DIY jigsaw with this, and it's like day & night. The Triton tool is powerful enough to easily rip the 6x2 I was working with, with enough precision to get the job done. It feels sturdy and the grip layout makes it easy to handle in all orientations. Impressed.

"Le système de réglage de l’angle du sabot est agréable, le poids de la machine la rend stable et facile à prendre en main.
Un outil que je recommande."

I wanted a new body grip jigsaw of professional quality & looked at Bosch & Makita. I decided to take a chance on this one as it was the only one in stock, I'm glad I did. It is extremely well made & a pleasure to use, I particularly like the soft start & the blade ejection system, saves burning your fingers on a hot blade. The best compliment I can give it is to say this was my first Triton Tool but it won't be my last.
