I am trying to decide which mains powered reciprocating saw to buy. The Bosch GSA1100E and the Makita JR3050T look good, but I am struggling to decide which one to get. The Bosch is less expensive, has a work light and the motor consumes more power. The Makita is lighter and slightly quieter.
Does anyone have any comparative experience? Does the higher power motor in the Bosch actually cut faster? Is the tilting shoe of the Bosch useful or a nuisance?
