Could be, but watch out for the EN standard to which they are made and whether or not there is some protection in the sole.
Remember you can injure yourself by standing on a nail in a piece of wood just as easily as dropping something on it - actually inwhat you do, more likely the former.
I had real trouble finding some in the size I need and eventually found some DW ones quite inexpensively at Lawson HIS (I think it was). They are pretty comfortable and I have to be a little careful about footwear.

A friend bought one to cut out a worktop for sink/drainer, it worked better than my Bosch.

Can you buy blunt blades? I suppose you must be able to given the number of these cheap jigsaws that wander...

I also had a cheapie for many years which did sterling service. Only when replacing it with a decent one did I realise just how inaccurate it was.

You can tell that by looking at it? Say no more. The uk.d-i-y 'expert' has spoken.

You'll likely get the usual speculation from those who haven't got one so I'll add to that...
Lidl tools are always good *value* - better than the sheds.
If you don't own a jigsaw it is likely to satisfy - any jigsaw is useful for rough work.
It's also unlikely to be as good as a decent make - the accuracy of a jigsaw when cutting thick materials, ie the cut staying at right angles - seems very much to depend on price. But that price is likely to be many times more for a good one.
One thing that delights with my expensive one over my cheap one is that you can change the blades quickly with no tools needed.

It has the same type of quick change system system as Bosch for blade replacement and uses Bosch blades as well.

Perhaps not blunt out of the packet but there sure are cheaply made blades that blunt very quickly.

That I can believe. It is VERY well made and very solid.

Yes, I have to say I wouldn't use it on anything 'edge critical'.
