In fact, sawing in the dark is stupid, so the backlight, as such, is not needed. Regarding the many reviews about the crooked saw: 1 - Take high-quality files, 2 - Have straight arms. I compared this tool with a jigsaw Interskol MP 100E Outcome: For the house will go. It makes no sense to compare with professional models, not the same price range. Has pros: Price, build quality, clear attachment of the file, smooth cut, no withdrawal, light enough. Cons below: It does not blow off sawdust, there is no backlight, poor equipment, there is some vibration.
