Several years ago I bought a £10 'Challenge' jigsaw from Argos.
Possibly the best £10 I have ever spent. It's never let me down, and has been used loads.

good enough for any domestic warfare that stuff. Got one myself, not a brass knob in sight, but just plain old works.

is the argos jigsaw good for seatpost-cutting-out?

totally not.

Remember your cutting the seatpost, not the frame ! Gently does it my son.

I got a 'tool pack' of Challenge stuff. The drill died (battery stopped holding charge), the jigsaw died (blade holder stopped holding blades), the electric screwdriver is so woefully underpowered I never used it and the sander still works but only cause I almost never use it.

I did get a Challenge Extreme angle grinder though (seperately) which works great.

I also have a cheapo dremel. Its ok (still works etc...) but its not great.

i used to file animals teeth down with a dremel - they didnt like it much

Was that purely for fun..?

no - was for their own good.

i bought one of these dremel wannabees today.... the locking button doesnt work so ive gotta send it back.... for £20 apparently it can go wrong

when you depress the locking button,rotate the chuck with the lil spanner until it engages
