The best Cordless jigsaws, compared.
Top pick: WORX WX550.4 Best value: Einhell TC-JS 18/70 – Value part of 8, the highest that is not the Ryobi: a named 18 V kit under £70 with a 2.5 Ah battery, a charger, and 258 reviews. Updated October 2026.
A cordless jigsaw is a battery saw with a narrow blade for curves, cut-outs, and short straight cuts in wood, plastic, and thin metal. In the UK you either buy a body that joins a battery platform you already own, or a kit with its own small pack. A listing that only claims a fit is not a tool. Add a pack you do not own before you treat a body price as the whole cost. The [cordless jigsaw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/cordless-jigsaw/sub/cordless-jigsaw-buying-guide) sets out platform, depth, and orbital before you compare stars. It is not a circular saw, and it is not a demolition reciprocating saw, though the pivots into that second job and its amazon.co.uk rank sits under reciprocating saws. The row is a body with that claim, and the battery is not in the box. Ryobi and the three bodies here are solo.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Which battery do you already own?
The WORX WX550.4, listed at £129.99, pivots between a jigsaw and a reciprocating saw on a PowerShare pack. The highlight includes one 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and five blades, and the motor row says brushed. All seven stored UK reviews, inside a 5.0 line from only 17 reviews, say both modes work and the jigsaw cut is tidy, and they mention a hard case the components line does not name. One review mentions a long lead, which does not match a cordless tool. Amazon states no wood depth and no bevel. The best-seller line is 91 in Reciprocating Saws, not jig saws. One UK review mentions two batteries, while the highlight says one. A 5.0 from 17 reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from 1,594. The score is 64.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one Worx tool that also works as a reciprocating saw, and you can live with 17 reviews.
Less suitable: You want a jigsaw with a stated wood depth, a bevel, and a large review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the WX550.4 only a jigsaw?
No. The title calls it a 2-in-1 jigsaw and reciprocating saw. The bullets say you pivot the head and change the blade. Its best-seller line is Reciprocating Saws.
Is a battery included?
The included-components line says bare tool, battery, and charger. The highlight says one 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, and five blades. One UK review mentions two batteries.
What do the 17 reviews say?
All seven stored UK reviews are positive: both modes work, the jigsaw cut is tidy, and the case is sturdy. The star line is 5.0 from 17 reviews, which is a small count.
The Bosch GST 18V-125 S, listed at £207.12, is an 18 V solo saw with an SDS blade holder, a dust set, a splinter guard, and an L-BOXX, and no battery. The star line is 4.8 from 331 reviews, though only three of the stored blocks are marked United Kingdom. One of those calls the grip a barrel and says it was less tiring than that reviewer’s Ryobi D-handle, with enough power for hardwood and a blower that clears the line. The same review says the switch may not suit a left-handed user. A non-UK review says the bevel has no positive detents, so 90 degrees needs a square. Amazon does not state a wood depth as a capacity. Bosch’s manual table states 125 mm in wood for the GST 18V-125 B and S. The blade-length row says 125 mm, and the wattage row says 125 W. The listed weight is 1.9 kg. The score is 82, the same as the bow-handle GST 18V-125 B.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and want a barrel-style grip with a case.
Less suitable: You have no Bosch packs, or you are left-handed and the switch position matters.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the GST 18V-125 S include a battery?
No. The item type says solo. The box contents are an L-BOXX, one T 144 D blade, a dust extraction set, and an anti-splinter guard.
How do you change the blade?
The title names an SDS saw blade holder. The Amazon bullets do not add another clamp type.
Who mentioned the grip?
A UK review calls it a barrel grip and says it was easier than that reviewer’s Ryobi D-handle. The same review says the switch may not suit a left-handed user.
The Ryobi R18JS-0, listed at £68.11, is a body-only ONE+ jigsaw whose bullets state up to 101 mm in wood, 6 mm in steel, a 25 mm stroke and 1,100 to 3,000 strokes a minute. Across 1,594 amazon.co.uk reviews at 4.7, UK buyers praise the price and the fact the same pack runs their other ONE+ tools. One reviewer got through many cuts on a charge and wanted a 5 Ah pack for heavier work. The first blade change is fiddly until you have done it a few times, and there is no guide in the box. The listing’s wattage row says 4,500 mW, which is not a credible motor figure, and the item-type line says circular saw. You need a ONE+ battery you already own, because none is supplied. The score is 95, the highest in this set, so it is the top pick. That is not a lab test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own Ryobi ONE+ batteries and want a body for curves in timber.
Less suitable: You have no ONE+ pack, or you need a guide and a case in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the R18JS-0 include a battery?
No. The title says battery and charger excluded. The bullets say it is a body-only tool for the Ryobi 18 V ONE+ system, with one wood blade.
How deep do the bullets say it cuts?
Up to 101 mm in wood and 6 mm in steel. Another bullet says a cutting capacity of 6.35 mm. Stroke length is 25 mm.
What do UK reviews repeat?
Praise for the price and for sharing ONE+ batteries. Complaints include a fiddly first blade change and no guide in the box. The star line is 4.7 from 1,594 reviews.
The Bosch GST 18V-125 B, listed at £223.32, is the bow-handle solo in this set: four-stage orbital, brushless on the bullets, a 45 degree shoe, an L-BOXX, and a dust extraction set, with no battery. At 4.7 from 204 reviews, UK buyers who already own Bosch 18 V packs call it quiet and accurate on wood, and one compares it with a 240 V Bosch they had used for years. They name the blower and the extraction. A non-UK review calls it relatively heavy. The listing weight is 1.95 kg. Isolated reviews mention an opened carton or missing pieces. The dimensions cell says 10 x 10 x 10 mm, which is not a plausible tool size. Amazon does not state a wood depth. Bosch’s manual table states 125 mm in wood for this pair. A review praises a quick blade change that the Amazon bullets do not describe. The score is 82, tied with the GST 18V-125 S.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a bow handle and an L-BOXX, and Bosch 18 V packs are already on the shelf.
Less suitable: You need a battery in the price, or you prefer a barrel grip.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the GST 18V-125 B come with a battery?
No. The item type says solo. The scope lists the saw in an L-BOXX, a T 144 D blade, a dust extraction set, and an anti-splinter guard.
What handle does the listing name?
The title says bow handle, with bevel cuts up to 45 degrees.
Is dust extraction included?
Yes. A dust extraction set is in the scope of supply. A UK review also praises the blowing function.
The Lucn kit, listed at £28.64, puts a 21 V battery, a charger, and eight blades in the title, and the bullets describe a four-position pendulum from straight wood through to fast plywood. The star line is 4.7 from seven reviews, and there is no review text, so there is no UK job to quote. The power-source row says both battery powered and corded electric, and the wattage row says 900 W. That conflict is in the listing, not a measured output. It is not a Bosch, Ryobi, Einhell, or Worx pack. The included-components field names a battery, while the charger and the blades sit in the title only. A 4.7 from seven reviews is not the same evidence as a 4.7 from 1,594. The score is 50, held down by the sample and the corded-and-battery conflict.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the lowest sticker in this set and you will judge the saw yourself, because buyers have not described a cut.
Less suitable: You want review text, a named platform, or a listing whose power source agrees with the title.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this kit include a battery?
The title says a 21 V Li-ion battery and a charger, plus 8 blades. The included-components field says battery.
Is it corded as well?
The power-source row says both battery powered and corded electric. The title describes a battery kit. The 900 W figure is only that listing row.
What do buyers say?
The listing shows 4.7 from 7 reviews. There is no review text, so there is nothing further to quote.
The Bosch GST 18V-95 B, listed at £114.62, is the lighter Professional body in this set at 1.66 kg, with four-stage orbital, a speed wheel, and a brushless motor on the bullets. Among 101 reviews at 4.6, UK buyers mention straight cuts with little effort and an existing Bosch battery doing the work. One found it faster and cleaner than an older Bosch jigsaw. There is no battery and no case. A non-UK review complains it arrived in cardboard, and another expected a parallel guide that is not in the scope of supply. Amazon does not state a cutting depth or a bevel. Bosch UK states 95 mm in wood for this model. The wattage row says 90 W. Isolated reviews describe a used saw rather than a new one. The score is 75.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own Bosch 18 V batteries and want the lighter body for ordinary wood cuts.
Less suitable: You need a case, a stated bevel, or a battery included in the price.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the GST 18V-95 B include a battery?
No. The scope of supply lists a T 111 C blade, a suction nozzle, a covering hood, and an anti-splinter guard. UK reviews mention using a Bosch battery the buyer already owned.
What cutting depth does this Amazon listing state?
This listing does not state a wood or steel depth. Bosch UK states 95 mm in wood for this model. The listing does list 4-stage orbital settings and a selection wheel with a variable speed trigger.
Is a case included?
No case is in the scope of supply. A non-UK review complains it arrived in cardboard rather than a box.
The Einhell TC-JS 18/70, listed at £66.68, arrives with a 2.5 Ah Power X-Change battery and a charger, and the bullets claim 70 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel. UK reviews at 4.4 from 258 are short and mostly content: a couple of uses a week, the same charger as other Einhell tools, and a battery described as fine. Reviewers call it a basic saw for an average DIYer rather than a stand-in for a dearer brand. No UK review in the stored sample names a bent shoe, a failed clamp, or a burnout. The highlight states a 20 mm stroke, and the shoe goes to 45 degrees with the hex key in the box. The pack fits Einhell PXC tools, not Bosch, Ryobi, or Worx. The score is 85. Its value part is 8, the highest value part that is not the Ryobi, so it is the best value. It is not the highest score.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a battery in the box on a platform you might buy again, for ordinary timber cuts.
Less suitable: You already own Bosch, Ryobi, or Worx packs, or you want a published 100 mm wood depth.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Einhell include a battery?
Yes. The included-components line lists a 2.5 Ah battery and a charger, plus a wood blade, suction adapter, splinter protection, and a hex key.
How deep do the bullets say it cuts?
Up to 70 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel. The highlight says a 20 mm stroke and up to 2,700 strokes per minute.
Which batteries fit?
The bullets say the same battery powers Einhell PXC tools. This is not a Bosch, Ryobi, or Worx pack.
The DEWINNER 20 V kit, listed at £60.09, includes a 2,000 mAh battery, a charger, and five T-shank blades in the title, with orbital settings from 0 to 4. At 4.3 from 192 reviews, UK buyers cut plastic pipe, metal, and wood, and some say the battery lasted for the jobs they tried. The same sample includes a shoe that bent within minutes, a plate that broke after one use, and a battery that died halfway through a worktop. Blade changes are called the hard part, and one parcel arrived with no blades. The table lists 2,300 rpm while the bullets say 800 to 3,000 strokes a minute. A case is not in the included-components line, though some UK reviews mention one. The score is 67. The sample is large enough to show both successful cuts and those failures. It is an own-brand 20 V kit, not a named platform.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one cheap kit for occasional wood and plastic, and you can accept a mixed review record.
Less suitable: You are cutting a worktop in one go, or you want a pack that fits tools you already own.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a battery included?
Yes. The title says a 2000 mAh battery, and included components list a battery and a charger, plus five T-shank blades in the title.
What failed in UK reviews?
Reviews include a shoe that bent, a plate that broke after one use, a battery that died halfway through a worktop, and a parcel with no blades. Other reviews were happy with wood, metal, and plastic. Stars are 4.3 from 192 reviews.
Does the listing include a case?
Included components do not name a case. Some UK reviews mention one. The promise on the listing is the battery, charger, and five blades.
The ONEVAN, listed at £59.89, claims a brushless motor, a 19 mm stroke, 55 mm in wood and 5 mm in steel, a laser, and two 4.0 Ah batteries in the bullets. The batteries row instead says two 12 V packs. At 4.0 from 14 reviews, some UK buyers accept it for basic cuts if expectations stay low. One says it stopped after a single cut, and another says the blade roller guide snapped and the saw was binned. The highlight claims up to 30 minutes of runtime. Orbital action is not stated. Those two failure reports sit in a sample of 14, so they are not a majority, but they are the concrete faults on the page. The weight cell says 1.5 kg. The 55 mm wood figure is a seller bullet, not a manufacturer depth of the kind Bosch, Ryobi, and Einhell publish. The score is 47.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two packs and a pile of blades for light cuts, and you can return a saw that fails on day one.
Less suitable: You need a stated orbital setting, a settled voltage, or a review sample larger than 14.
Specifications
Common questions
What battery does the listing claim?
The bullets say two 4.0 Ah batteries and a fast charger. The batteries row says two 12 V batteries are required and included. Those lines conflict.
What depth do the bullets claim?
55 mm in wood and 5 mm in steel, with a 19 mm stroke. That depth is a seller bullet. The highlight also says up to 30 minutes of runtime.
What broke in UK reviews?
One review says it stopped after one cut. Another says the blade roller guide snapped. Other reviews call it acceptable for the price. Stars are 4.0 from 14 reviews.
The Fexrror 20 V kit, listed at £46.74, claims a 2.0 Ah battery, a charger, five blades, a dust nozzle, and a shoe with stops at 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees. At 3.9 from 41 reviews, one UK buyer cut 2 inch wood and another used it on plastic fascia, while a third could not get a 3 x 2 straight even with a premium blade. Battery life is described as about half an hour, and one review says two batteries arrived when the title names one. The voltage row says 220 V against a 20 V title, and the wattage row says 800 W. The dimensions cell is 10 x 10 x 10 cm, which is not a plausible tool size. Instructions are called useless in a UK review title that still calls the saw good value. The score is 50. There is no wood depth on the listing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low-priced kit for thin plastic and the odd piece of timber, and you can check the cut as you go.
Less suitable: You need a straight cut in thicker timber, or a voltage line that matches the title.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a 20 V or a 220 V tool?
The title says 20 V with a 2000 mAh battery. The specification row says 220 volts. Those lines are both on the listing and they conflict.
What is in the box?
The title lists a 2000 mAh battery, a charger, and 5 blades, plus LED, 4-position orbit, and a bevel to 45 degrees. The included-components field only says cordless jigsaw.
What do UK reviews say about power?
One review cut 2 inch wood. Another says a 3 x 2 did not stay straight. Another says the battery lasts about half an hour. Stars are 3.9 from 41 reviews.
The CISSIYOG, listed at £33.99, is a bare yellow body that claims a DeWalt 18 V or 20 V fit and does not include a battery. The brand on the listing is CISSIYOG, not DeWalt. The bullets claim 135 mm in wood, 10 mm in steel, 200 W, and 16,500 rpm. Those depth and speed figures are seller bullets only, and 16,500 rpm is not a stroke rate comparable to Bosch or Ryobi. At 2.9 from 16 reviews, all of the stored blocks marked United Kingdom, one buyer could not load the blade, another found it sitting left of the centre mark, and a title says it burnt out. A reviewer who already owned DeWalt batteries called the cut usable if you expect a basic tool. Tracking and vibration are called worse than branded saws. One review cites £40.99 and says it was not worth that. The included-components field says no, while the bullets list six blades, a wrench, a screwdriver, and gloves. The score is 37, the lowest in this set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you already own DeWalt packs, expect a basic cut, and can return a clamp that will not seat.
Less suitable: You are cutting a worktop, you want a DeWalt jigsaw, or you need a blade that locks on the first try.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a DeWalt jigsaw?
No. The brand is CISSIYOG. The highlight and bullets say it is compatible with a DeWalt 20 V or 18 V/20 V pack, and that the battery is not included.
Do UK reviews get the blade in?
One review says the blade would not load. Another says the blade sits left of the centre mark. Another says it burnt out. Stars are 2.9 from 16 reviews.
What depth do the bullets claim?
135 mm in wood and 10 mm in steel, at a claimed 16,500 rpm and 200 W. Those figures are seller bullets only, and the rpm line is not a stroke rate comparable to Bosch or Ryobi.
Eleven amazon.co.uk listings were scored from 0 to 100. Stars count for 40, the review sample for 25, fit as a cordless jigsaw for 25, and value in this set for 10. The highest score is the top pick. The highest value part that is not that saw is best value. Shelf prices, stars, and review counts are the UK listings in this folder. There is no laboratory cut.
Stars
40%The amazon.co.uk star line, as (rating / 5) × 40, rounded. A 4.7 from 1,594 reviews is not the same evidence as a 5.0 from 17.

Value in this set
10%A named-platform body under £70 with 1,000 or more reviews scores 10. A named-platform kit under £70 with a battery and 200 or more reviews scores 8. That second figure is the best value here.
Choose the battery family before you compare stars. Bosch Professional 18 V, Ryobi ONE+, Einhell Power X-Change, and Worx PowerShare do not share packs. Then read the scope line. The Ryobi and the Bosch GST rows here are bodies, so a low sticker is not the cost of cutting until you add a pack and a charger you do not own. Wood depth is a manufacturer figure you can source, not an Amazon wattage row or a seller-only bullet. Orbital action speeds timber and tears laminate.
A cordless jigsaw is a battery saw with a narrow reciprocating blade. You use it for curves, cut-outs, and short straight cuts in wood, plastic, and thin metal. It is not a circular saw, and it is not a demolition reciprocating saw, though the WORX WX550.4 pivots into that second job and its amazon.co.uk rank sits under reciprocating saws. The first split is the battery. Bosch Professional 18 V, Ryobi ONE+, Einhell Power X-Change, and Worx PowerShare do not share packs.
Bosch Professional, Ryobi ONE+, Einhell Power X-Change, and Worx PowerShare do not share batteries. A listing that only claims a DeWalt fit is not a DeWalt jigsaw. The CISSIYOG brand line is CISSIYOG, and the battery is not in the box.
The Lucn power-source row says corded as well as battery, and the wattage row says 900 W. The Fexrror voltage row says 220 V against a 20 V title. The Ryobi wattage row says 4,500 mW. Those lines contradict the title. They are not a measured output.
Orbital action speeds timber and tears laminate. Leave it at the lowest setting for a worktop, and keep the shoe flat. A laser does not straighten a loose blade. Call a professional for quartz or other stone, for structural timber or steel, and when you cannot clamp the work.
The first check is which interface you already own. Bosch Professional 18 V, Ryobi ONE+, Einhell Power X-Change, and Worx PowerShare do not share packs. Buying the higher star line on the wrong slide leaves you with a body you cannot charge. A “fits DeWalt” claim on a CISSIYOG listing is not a DeWalt tool. The second check is the scope line. Ryobi R18JS-0 and the Bosch GST bodies in this set are solo. Einhell TC-JS 18/70 includes a 2.5 Ah pack and a charger.
Use a depth you can source. Bosch UK states 95 mm in wood for the GST 18V-95 B and 125 mm for the GST 18V-125 B and S. Amazon does not print those depths on these rows. Ryobi bullets state 101 mm in wood and 6 mm in steel, with a 25 mm stroke. Einhell states 70 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel, with a 20 mm stroke in the highlight. Seller-only depths, including the ONEVAN 55 mm bullet and the CISSIYOG 135 mm bullet, are not the same kind of number.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You already own Ryobi 18 V ONE+ packs and you want a body for curves in timber. The R18JS-0 is about £68.11, with bullets that state 101 mm in wood, a T-shank clamp, and four pendulum steps. The battery and charger are excluded, and there is no guide in the box.
You have no packs yet and you want a charger in the price. The Einhell TC-JS 18/70 is about £66.68 with a 2.5 Ah Power X-Change battery and a charger. The bullets state 70 mm in wood and 8 mm in steel. The pack does not fit Bosch, Ryobi, or Worx.
You already own Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and you want the lighter body for ordinary wood cuts. The GST 18V-95 B is about £114.62, brushless, with four orbital stages and no battery or case. Bosch UK states 95 mm in wood. A Ryobi or Einhell pack will not run it.
The top pick is the Ryobi R18JS-0 at about £68.11. It scores 95: stars 38, sample 25, fit 22, and value 10, from 4.7 out of 5 and 1,594 reviews, with ONE+ fit and bullets that state 101 mm in wood. The battery is not in the box. The best value is the Einhell TC-JS 18/70 at about £66.68. It scores 85, and its value part is 8, the highest value part that is not the Ryobi, because the kit includes a 2.5 Ah pack and a charger. The GST 18V-125 S and the GST 18V-125 B both score 82. A 5.0 from 17 reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from 1,594. Neither badge is a laboratory cut.
Einhell TC-JS 18/70
Value part of 8, the highest that is not the Ryobi: a named 18 V kit under £70 with a 2.5 Ah battery, a charger, and 258 reviews.
