The professional purple same as green one is good since 3rd dec mines done 35 flats of 8mm laminate on one blade never gets hot
Since I used mine one site 2 other floorlayers on site have brought one and a chippy has brought one none of them have the release lever that the green one has on the right hand side of it
Where did you get yours from I got mine from amazon so yeah may well be an old stock item mate wants one so will try another company
use it for every thing ends length and round door frames not used jigsaw once only thing it doesn't do it cut right through in internal cuts so just nick the last but off with knife blade
