What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Festool Carvex PSB 420 EBQ-Plus Jig Saw
One whitelisted hands-on tester (Pro Tool Reviews, Ernie Conover) used the barrel-grip corded Carvex 420 for about two months and rated it the best jigsaw he had ever used, praising blade guidance, the strobe LEDs and dust extraction. The main gripe is cost, roughly double a Bosch once the accessory Systainer is added. No other whitelisted coverage of this exact model was found; forums and trade blogs excluded. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Blade guidance/tracking rated best-in-class; Four-LED strobe lights make the blade appear to stand still for easy line-following; Very good dust extraction on the 90-degree bases.
Flagged: Expensive, roughly twice a Bosch once the accessory Systainer is included; Angle base doesn't extend far enough ahead of the blade to start angled cuts easily; No dust collection possible with the angle base.
