What a used jigsaw tool is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for jigsaw tools, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £110 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £93 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £71 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £49 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £27 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a jigsaw tool
- Tool-free blade clamps that grip firmly
- Flat, undamaged base plates
- Recognised trade brands
- Variable speed and orbital action
What lowers it
- Worn blade clamps that drop blades
- Bent base plates preventing square cuts
- Failing speed controls
- Cheap unbranded jigsaws
How to work out what yours is worth
- Fit a blade and check the clamp holds firmly
- Lay the base plate on a flat surface
- Run it through the speed range
Once you have those three answers you can place your own jigsaw tool on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check on a used jigsaw?
The blade clamp and the base plate. A clamp that drops blades is unusable, and a bent plate makes square cuts impossible.
Does orbital action matter?
It speeds up cutting in wood and is worth stating, since buyers look for it.
Are blades included worth anything?
Very little. Most buyers fit their own for the material they are cutting.
