I haven’t been able to get much done on the kitchen lately, and I finally carved out the bulk of a weekend to start working on the trim. Two pietin, and I dropped my trusty old jig saw . It’s an old DeWalt that I paid $25 for, but it’s been a great tool. And now I’ve murdered it. The shoe is bent into oblivion.
*Insert crazy long chain of loud cursing here*

Just bend it back. Nothing a large hammer and a suitably strong flat surface can’t fix.

Bend it back and replace it never because money costs money . You’ll hate the first piece you cut, but your craftsmanship with kick in and you’ll adjust accordingly for all subsequent cuts.

I did, and it will get me through the day, but I'm more anal about my tools than I am cheap.

I did, it will keep me working today, but long yerm, she's dead Jim.

Cheap is such a harsh term. I prefer “economical”

Tightwad is also a harsh term

Harsh? Yeah. Sometimes the truth is harsh.

Those sabre saws are so epically
inaccurate
, that a little input from a two-pound hammer or, maybe better, some
english
applied by a big vise, and you’ll never notice it. I have a really nice Milwaukee jigsaw and I still have not mastered not looking like a butcher with a butter knife did the cutting.
