: Where do you get them?


In the states, almost any Home Depot or hardware chain... even old Stanley is selling them.

: : I second that, they are great tools and cheap too for what they are. I have three now and find them especially good for cutting plywood panels, almost as fast as an electric jigsaw and they don't splinter the wood. The thin flexible blade goes round curves easily, and you can start a cut in the middle of a panel if you need to.
: : The very fine tooth ones are excellent for cutting veneer, very useful if you are doing a hardwood over ply deck, and good for cutting off the excess ply that overhangs the transom, leaves a finish that looks like it's been sandpapered.
: : I wouldn't be without mine.
