I replaced a 30-year-old Black and Decker when it broke and got a new
lightweight B & D one. The blade was so lightweight that it & it's static
bit kept on bending like bananas. When they bent in opposite directions the
result was ghastly. I took it back & ended up with a not-so-lightweight
Bosch. So stand in the B&Q aisle and try bending the blade before you buy.
