Will Bosch Jigsaw blades work with a SURGE? I just got a Bosch Jigsaw and I'm planning to get a Surge if the blades are compatible.

They wobble bad. There might be one that I haven't found yet that fits well, but everyone I've tried won't.

You can tape the ends and helps the wobble some but they still wobble a little :)

I've been thinking tha if you just superglue a small piece of flat metal to thicken the shank end it might stabilize the blade.

It always struck me as a bit odd that having decided to include a T-Shank adapter, Leatherman didn't design it around the standard t-shank component thickness.

I guess there must be a good reason, presumably to do with the available space to close the tool properly, but you'd have thought that wasn't too hard to work around. Most odd.
I used to come here a lot.

Is the thickness equal to 2 jigsaw blades?
