Score: 92/100Rankings
The Ryobi PBLJS01B is a high-performance cordless jigsaw featuring a brushless motor that offers superior speed and runtime compared to brushed models.

It is best suited for DIY enthusiasts and light professionals within the Ryobi ecosystem who need precise, portable cutting capabilities.
The Bosch JS470E is a professional-grade corded top-handle jigsaw featuring a powerful 7.0 A motor and high stroke rate for smooth curves. It offers precise control with variable speed and four orbital settings, though it lacks an integrated LED light. Best suited for finish carpenters and woodworkers needing precision in soft wood, aluminum, or mild steel.
