Oh wow. I love those. That is definitely one of the best ways of cutting stuff. Pendulums rock!

Just take your time. 5 hours should be sufficient.

Mine had a black box. But I took it back so it is not mine anymore.

Can I post on this thread anymore, I know I started it, but I don't own a jigsaw now!? 

Probably the biggest dilemma of my life! Maybe I should start a new thread for advice on the situation?

Not to distract from the jigsaw but whilst we talking power tools, what you really want is a 36v Hilti cordless skill saw.
 
 
And if you looking for a good set for all your on-site carpentry needs try the lithium ion 18v Makita set, the jig saw is the dogs bollocks!

Bosch cordless drill's rock, I used a 18v volt one while cutting the 65mm in the van floor for my Eber D2
 
I had it in low gear so to speak and when it gripped it took me round with it! never used a drill with that much torque before  
Jumped Ship to a Vito but I hear a 2021 T6 calling, only real difference is the Vito cab is more car like.

Forgot to ask, what do you use the pendulum setting for on a jigsaw i’ve got it on my die-young Wickes jigsaw but no idea when to use it

At home i have a ryobi wan kenobi which is better, and was half the price!
