    I use a lot of Bosch fitting coarse wood cutting jigsaw blades as I've both corded and cordless Bosch jigsaws and use them, together with normal sort of uses, to dismember (together with an axe/sledgehammer combination tool) a vast number of pallets, the slats being generally used for constructional purposes and the remainder used for fuel.

    When Wilkos changed the livery of their tool accessories and reduced the price of their old stock to something like 32p for 2 jigsaw blades I bought the lot from every store around, but have now only have 2 left so need to replenish my stock as they and Wickes, Screwfix, etc. are now charging silly prices.

    There's some on ebay for around £2.50 for 5 blades including P&P, but I've no idea what quality they are, and was hoping by bulk buying - say 50 or 100 blades - assuming I'd get a better price and quality, but all I can find are these at 50 blades for £19.77 incl P&P, http://www.terrasaw.co.uk/jigsaw-blades/jigsaw-blades.php so slightly cheaper but unknown quality (just like the cheap ebays ones, but taking a punt on 5 blades is different to buying 50) and I can't find any independent reviews.

    Anybody else use loads of jigsaw blades and know where to get them cheap?

    I've just ordered a second batch from the same ebay supplier I used last time. The jigsaw blades they sell are the best and cheapest I've found, and cut really fast & easy which is important as I'm mainly using a cordless jigsaw at my palette storage location and I've only got 3 batteries for it (otherwise I need to take a generator and my mains one).
