The best Metabo jigsaws, compared.
Top pick: Metabo STEB 65 Quick corded set Best value: Metabo STB 18 L 90 – The lowest genuine Metabo price here, about £58.97, for a top-handle saw in the 90 mm class with Metabo Quick. Updated October 2026.
A Metabo jigsaw on amazon.co.uk is either an 18 V cordless bare unit on the Metabo or platform, or a mains saw with a BS 1363 plug. Judge the order number, such as 601047850 or 601502840, not a title that only says the saw fits another brand. Five of twelve listings in the same search were other brands or copies, and they are out of this comparison. Cordless rows have no battery and no charger unless the title says otherwise. You need a Metabo or 18 V pack, plus a UK charger. Corded models run from a 230 V socket, with a trailing lead. The [Metabo jigsaw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/metabo-jigsaw/sub/metabo-jigsaw-buying-guide) sets the order: genuine Metabo, then plug or battery, then handle and depth. Quality here means a genuine Metabo listing, Metabo blade change, a cutting depth and stroke taken from the datasheet, and a handle that matches the way you cut. They give unlimited runtime and a trailing lead.

Question 1 of 2
What can you power today?
The STEB 65 Quick set, order 690920000, is the corded kit at £128.55, with 4.8 from nine amazon.co.uk reviews. The listing is 230 V and 400 W, with a blade assortment in the title, Metabo Quick, a variable pendulum on the bullets, and a dust blower. You plug it into a UK socket, so there is no 18 V pack to buy, which changes the comparison with a £58.97 bare cordless saw. Wood depth is not stated on this row, and a 10 × 10 × 10 mm dimensions line is catalogue noise rather than the size of the tool. Nine reviews are a small sample, so the 4.8 does not outweigh the missing depth figure. It suits a garage with a socket and a need for several blades in one order, provided you accept a trailing lead.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Households with a 230 V socket who want a corded Metabo and a blade set in one order.
Less suitable: Site work away from a socket, or buyers who need a published 150 mm wood depth.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STEB 65 Quick need a battery?
No. It is a 230 V corded saw, listed at 400 W, so you plug it into a UK socket. The title includes a blade assortment. You still have a trailing lead, and wood depth is not stated on this row.
What should you ignore on the listing?
A dimensions line of 10 × 10 × 10 mm does not describe the saw. Nine reviews at 4.8 are a small sample, so they do not replace the missing depth figure.
The STB 18 L 90, order 601048850, is the lowest-priced genuine Metabo jigsaw in this set at £58.97, with a top handle, Metabo Quick, an LED, and a dust blower on the bullets. Wood depth sits in the same 90 mm class as the body-grip ST 18 L 90, so the price gap is mostly handle and box, not a deeper cut. Stars read 4.8 from only six reviews, which is too small a sample to treat as a UK trend. The box line is a bare unit, two blades, a nozzle, and guards in cardboard, not a battery or a metaBOX. Amazon rows that mention 3000 RPM or a tooth count are listing noise beside Metabo’s stroke tables. It is the best value row here when you already own an 18 V Metabo or CAS pack and you prefer a top handle. It is a weak match if you need a brushless 130 mm or 150 mm saw, or a corded tool that runs without a pack.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Owners of Metabo or CAS 18 V batteries who want a top-handle saw for everyday timber inside the 90 mm class.
Less suitable: Anyone judging on review volume, or anyone who needs a deeper brushless cut or a plug-in workshop saw.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STB 18 L 90 include a battery?
No. The box line is a bare unit, two blades, a nozzle and guards in cardboard. A Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger are extra. The £58.97 figure is not the cost of cutting until that pack is already yours.
How deep does this top-handle saw cut in wood?
It sits in the same 90 mm class as the body-grip ST 18 L 90. Stroke, bevel and pendulum are not stated on this listing. Do not copy the body-grip datasheet onto this card.
The STA 18 LTX 150 BL, order 601502840, is the deepest cordless Metabo in this table: the datasheet states 150 mm in wood and a 26 mm stroke, with a brushless motor and 1000–3500 strokes per minute. On amazon.co.uk the bare listing is £149.99 with 4.7 from 28 reviews, mostly continental rather than a clean UK sample. You get the saw, a metaBOX 145 L, three blades, guards, and a nozzle, still without a battery or charger. The LED can be switched off on the datasheet, which helps when a light would glare off a finished face. An amazon row about AAAA batteries is catalogue noise and does not describe the 18 V pack. It is the top pick in this comparison for stated depth and what is in the box among the cordless rows. The shelf price still ignores the pack you have to own, and the review file is not British-only.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Joinery and thicker timber where 90 mm is not enough, if you already run Metabo or CAS 18 V packs.
Less suitable: A first cordless purchase with no batteries, or a buyer who only cuts thin sheet and wants the £58.97 saw.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STA 18 LTX 150 BL include a battery?
No. The listing is a bare saw with a metaBOX 145 L, three blades, guards and a nozzle. A Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger are extra. The corded STEB models are the ones that run from the mains.
What wood depth does the datasheet state?
Metabo states 150 mm in wood and a 26 mm stroke, with 1000–3500 strokes per minute. An amazon row about AAAA batteries does not describe the 18 V pack.
The Metabo ST 18 L 90, order 601047850, is the body-grip 18 V saw in this set, listed at £92.00 with 4.4 from 17 amazon.co.uk reviews that are mostly not from the UK. Metabo’s datasheet puts wood cutting depth at 90 mm and stroke length at 22 mm, with four pendulum levels, an LED, and a dust blower. The listing is a bare unit with two blades, a nozzle, and guards, so a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger sit outside that shelf price. Amazon rows that print 750 RPM or 180 W clash with the datasheet stroke-rate table and are not the motor specification. The low body grip helps you steer a curve, though 90 mm of wood depth is short of the 150 mm STA if thick stock is the usual job. The 4.4 score is a mixed-language file, so it is not a British-only verdict.
Pros
Cons
Best for: DIY owners of Metabo or CAS 18 V packs who want a body grip for curves in stock within the 90 mm wood class.
Less suitable: Shoppers who need 150 mm depth, a mains-only saw, or a large sample of UK reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the ST 18 L 90 include a battery?
No. The listing is a bare unit with two blades, a nozzle and guards. A Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger sit outside the £92.00 shelf price.
What does the datasheet say about the cut?
Wood depth is 90 mm and the stroke is 22 mm, with four pendulum levels, an LED and a dust blower. The datasheet also lists 750–3000 strokes per minute. Amazon rows that print 750 RPM or 180 W are not that table.
The older STA 18 LTX 140, order 601405840, carries the largest review file in the set: 4.3 from 92 amazon.co.uk reviews, at £165.95. The texts are mixed-language, and battery drain is a repeated theme, so runtime depends on which 18 V pack you fit rather than on the bare price. The model family is the 140 mm class, and reviews describe a brushless saw with Metabo Quick. Many specification rows in this set are blank, including handle, stroke, bevel, pendulum, blower, and case. Treat it as a legacy cordless listing, not as a filled datasheet row like the ST 18 L 90 or the STA 150 BL. At this price it sits above the 150 mm saw with a metaBOX in the same October 2026 listings. It is useful when you want the longer review history and you already know the 140 line.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Buyers who weight a long review history on the 140 mm cordless family and already own Metabo 18 V packs.
Less suitable: Shoppers who want a filled datasheet, a metaBOX in the box, or more stated depth for less money.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STA 18 LTX 140 include a battery?
No. It is a bare 18 V listing. Reviews mention battery drain, so runtime depends on the Metabo or CAS pack you fit, not on the £165.95 shelf price.
Why are so many specification cells empty?
Handle, stroke, bevel, pendulum, blower and case are blank in this set. The model family is the 140 mm class, and reviews describe a brushless saw with Metabo Quick. It is not a filled datasheet row like the STA 150 BL.
The STB 18 LT 130 BL, order 601055850, is the brushless top-handle listing at £168.29, the highest cordless shelf price in this set, and the file has no review count. The model name places it in a 130 mm wood class, between the 90 mm STB and the 150 mm STA. The listing names Metabo Quick, an LED, a dust blower, and a 45° bevel row. Stroke and pendulum are not filled cleanly, and a 3500 RPM plus 130 W pair looks like the same listing noise seen on other Metabo cards. The box is a bare unit with two blades, guards, and a nozzle, so you still add a pack and a BS 1363 charger. Without reviews, the score rests on brushless positioning rather than buyer evidence. In this set the STA 150 BL costs £149.99, states a deeper cut, includes a metaBOX, and has 28 reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Buyers who specifically want a brushless top handle in the 130 mm class and can verify the live amazon.co.uk basket.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs review evidence, a case in the box, or the lowest genuine Metabo price.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STB 18 LT 130 BL include a battery?
No. The box is a bare unit with two blades, guards and a nozzle. You still add a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a BS 1363 charger. There is no review count on this listing in the set.
How does it sit against the STA 150 BL?
The model name places it in a 130 mm class. In this set the STA 18 LTX 150 BL is £149.99, states 150 mm in wood, includes a metaBOX and has 28 reviews. Stroke and pendulum on the 130 mm card are not stated cleanly.
The STEB 140 Plus, order 601404700, is the 750 W corded workshop listing at £377.29, with a stated weight of 2.6 kg and a MetaLoc in the box line, and no reviews in this set. The name sits in a 140 Plus class, but stroke, bevel, pendulum, and blade-change rows are blank. One power row reads as hand-operated, which conflicts with a 750 W corded saw and should be ignored. Unlimited mains runtime is the practical difference from the bare cordless tools, yet the price is more than double the STA 150 BL and far above the STEB 65 kit at £128.55. Without reviews, this row is a specification and price marker rather than buyer-tested evidence. It fits a workshop that already runs corded saws for long sessions only after you confirm the live specification. It is the wrong buy if you wanted a cordless body grip or the lowest genuine Metabo price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A workshop that wants a heavy corded Metabo in the 140 Plus class and will check the datasheet before paying.
Less suitable: Cordless site work, a first jigsaw purchase, or anyone comparing these rows on review evidence.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the STEB 140 Plus include a battery?
No. It is a 750 W corded saw, so it runs from a 230 V socket. The box line names a MetaLoc. The listed weight is 2.6 kg. There are no reviews in this set, and the price is £377.29.
Which listing lines should you ignore?
A power row that reads as hand-operated conflicts with a 750 W corded saw. Stroke, bevel, pendulum and blade change are blank. Confirm the live specification before you pay the highest price in this set.
Seven amazon.co.uk listings remain after other brands and compatible copies were set aside. There is no laboratory cut, and there is no separate scoring sheet. The top pick is the STA 18 LTX 150 BL, the highest score in the product set, on stated depth and what is in the box. Best value is the STB 18 L 90, the lowest genuine Metabo price in the 90 mm class. The weights below follow the buying order for this page. They are not a laboratory formula. Stated depth, stroke and handle count for 30, what is in the box and the power source for 25, Amazon stars and review volume for 20, listing conflicts and missing specifications for 15, and the amazon.co.uk price for 10.
Stated depth, stroke and handle
30%Wood depth and stroke come from the Metabo datasheet where that sheet exists. The model name is used only when the sheet is not in the set. Body grip and top handle are different ways to steer the same 90 mm class.
What is in the box and the power source
25%A cordless row is scored as a bare tool unless the title names a battery or a charger. Blades, a nozzle, guards, a metaBOX or a MetaLoc count when the listing names them. A corded STEB runs from a 230 V socket.
Amazon stars and review volume
20%Stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines. A high star line on six or nine reviews is not the same as a larger file. Mixed-language reviews are not treated as British-only opinion. A missing count stays a missing count.
Listing conflicts and missing specifications
15%Amazon rows for wattage, RPM, tooth count or AAAA batteries are ignored when they clash with Metabo’s strokes-per-minute tables. Blank stroke, bevel or pendulum cells stay blank. They are not filled from a neighbouring model.
amazon.co.uk price
10%The price is the shelf figure in this October 2026 set. A bare cordless price is not the cost of cutting until a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger are already owned or added.
Choose genuine Metabo, then the plug or the battery, before you compare stars. Five of twelve listings in the same search were other brands or compatible copies, and they are not in this table. The cordless rows are bare bodies, so a low sticker is not the cost of cutting until you add a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger you do not own. The two corded STEB models run from a 230 V socket. Then match the handle and the stated wood depth. The top pick is the highest score.
A Metabo jigsaw for a UK shopper is either an 18 V cordless bare unit on the Metabo or CAS battery platform, or a mains STEB corded saw with a BS 1363 plug. Quality here means a genuine Metabo listing, Metabo Quick blade change, a cutting depth and stroke taken from the datasheet, and a handle that matches the way you cut. This page did not run a lab test. Prices, stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines for seven listings in an October 2026 set. The brand row has to say Metabo.
Five of twelve listings in this search were other brands or battery-compatible copies at about £59 to £70. A title that says compatible with another brand is not a Metabo, and it does not share Metabo vibration figures or the Metabo warranty line. The brand row has to say Metabo.
The STB 18 L 90 is about £58.97 without a battery or a charger. The STEB 140 Plus is about £377.29 and runs from the mains. Add a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger before you call the bare tool cheaper. The STEB 65 kit at about £128.55 is the corded row that also includes a blade assortment.
Ignore 750 RPM, 180 W, a tooth count, or AAAA batteries when they clash with Metabo’s strokes-per-minute tables. The 17 reviews on the ST 18 L 90 are mostly not UK opinion. Pendulum on metal or on a laminate face is a separate mistake: the pendulum is for timber, and a high setting tears a finished face.
The first check is whether the saw will run today. Cordless Metabo rows in this set are bare. The ST 18 L 90 at about £92.00, the STB 18 L 90 at about £58.97, the STA 18 LTX 150 BL at about £149.99, the STB 18 LT 130 BL at about £168.29 and the STA 18 LTX 140 at about £165.95 do not include a battery or a charger unless a title says so. You need a Metabo 18 V pack, Li-Power or LiHD, or a CAS partner pack, and a charger with a BS 1363 plug.
Handle and depth are the next split, and they are not the same decision. The ST 18 L 90, order 601047850, is the body grip: 90 mm in wood, a 22 mm stroke, 750–3000 strokes per minute and four pendulum levels on the datasheet. The low grip helps you steer a curve. The STB 18 L 90, order 601048850, is the top handle in that same 90 mm class, at a lower amazon.co.uk price. Stroke, bevel and pendulum are blank on that card, so do not paste the body-grip datasheet onto it.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a top handle for everyday timber inside the 90 mm class, and the battery is already on the shelf. The STB 18 L 90 is about £58.97 bare, with Metabo Quick, an LED and a dust blower. The review file is only six ratings, so the 4.8 is not a trend.
Ninety millimetres is short of the work you actually do, and you already run Metabo or CAS 18 V packs. The STA 18 LTX 150 BL states 150 mm in wood and a 26 mm stroke, and the box includes a metaBOX 145 L. The battery is still extra, at about £149.99 for the bare saw.
You want a Metabo that runs from the mains today, with blades in the same order. The STEB 65 Quick set is about £128.55, listed at 230 V and 400 W. Wood depth is not stated on this row, and nine reviews are a small sample. You accept a trailing lead.
The top pick is the STA 18 LTX 150 BL at about £149.99. The datasheet states 150 mm in wood and a 26 mm stroke, the motor is brushless, and the box line includes a metaBOX 145 L. It is 4.7 from 28 reviews, mostly not a UK-only file, and the battery is not included. The best value is the STB 18 L 90 at about £58.97, a top-handle saw in the 90 mm class with Metabo Quick. The 4.8 comes from only six reviews. Neither result is a laboratory test. Add a Metabo or CAS 18 V pack and a UK charger before you treat a bare cordless price as the cost of cutting.
