RIDGID® Compact Orbital Jig Saw

Last month I had the pleasure of getting my hands on several new RIDGID® Brand tools and one that caught my eye was the Compact Orbital Jig Saw (Model R3100). The styling and balance of this jig saw is quite different compared to other barrel type jig saws that I’ve used. It was pretty clear to me that RIDGID took a much different approach to the design. Read on to learn more about this cool new tool.
