New jigsaw

I just tried to use my old B&D KS633£ jigsaw, which I haven't needed to use for years. Needless to say, it was as dead as a doornail. Open circuit (fuse checked ok). Absolutely impossible to remove the screws to check inside. I was able to turn the motor via the vent slots, and tried again, but despite that it still doesn't work. So I need to get a new mains jigsaw, but only for very infrequent use. The Screwfix Energer ( gets good reviews, but is out-of-stock everywhere. Most of the other "own-brand" jigsaws from Argos, Homebase, etc get very mixed reviews from "fantastic" to "junk". Any recommendations for a cheap jigsaw, or to avoid?
