Looking at 6 piece cordless kits from hitachi and makita and the only difference in tools terms is that the makita has a recip saw and the hitachi has a cordless..
..so a question for the pros out there.. On site do you find a jigsaw or a recip saw more usefulness? The sort of tasks I'll be putting it to are the lighter things (the main fabric of my timber frame was done by the fitters) like making a platform for the bed to sit on, building drawer units, shelves and fitted wardrobes into the stud walls etc
I've a feeling the jigsaw is the handier tool for these tasks because recip saws seem a bit thug like; less precise than a jigsaw at least. It should also be noted that I have both an electric (corded) recip and jigsaw (but I've not used either much in my professional life as a software engineer) so this q is specifically about which one makes the better and more useful tool in CORDLESS form
