Are the Hilti jigsaws as good as the new Bosch and Festools? The one I’m looking at is below.

I have experience with Hilti in construction. They have nice hammer drills and powder actuated nail guns. Both are for concrete work.
I'm sure they have other nice tools but you won't see many of them around. Do you want the only one in this hemisphere?
They also keep a tight reign on their parts so you would have to go through them for service I think. And the parts are not cheap.
Personally, I'd go with the Bosch or the Festool.
I agree with the above.
Hilti definitely makes an excellent product. Their drills, cordless and corded, are super. Their lasers are top of the line. But I've never seen their jigsaw on a jobsite.
Bosch jigsaws are, in my opinion, the very best buy for the money. Accessories are available everywhere, and they can be serviced by most dealers.
The older I get, the better I was....
