      I have never had a problem with DW jig blades. I have never used them either. Ha... You made the right decision to go with the Bosch. There has never been any reason with the Bosch that I would change. IMO, of course.

   Happy sawing and have a good evening..

   If the Bosch blades you bought were not the Progressor style then do yourself a huge favor and try them.  They are absolutely the best jigsaw blades I have ever used.  They are a little more expensive than regular style blades but not so much that they will stress your bank account. 

   I've also heard good things about a jigsaw blade made by Lenox.  It's not available in my area so I haven't tried it but what I read is all positive.  Maybe someone else is more familiar with these and can offer more info.

   Lennox blades are great!  I tend to use Bosch in my jigsaw as I have a bunch of them and they last well.  In my reciprocating saw, which eats bldes like candy (I'm a home improvement contractor) Lennox, Milwaukee and Makita are the only blades worth a darn.  They are all expensive, but they all last 5x as long as DeWalt's poopy (I cleaned that up) blades.

      Thanks for the tip. I use the Milwaukee, but have never tried the Lennox in the recip. It does eat up the DW ones, I agree.

   Have a good evening..
