Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Ridgid jigsaw compare to the Ryobi at $69?
The Ridgid R8832B has 100 more SPM, feels sturdier, and comes with the Lifetime Service Agreement. For $30 more, you get a noticeably better build quality. If you use a jigsaw more than a few times a year, the Ridgid is the better buy.
Can the Ridgid jigsaw handle countertop cutouts?
Yes. With a bi-metal or carbide jigsaw blade, the R8832B makes clean sink cutouts in laminate countertops. Use orbital setting 1 or 2 and follow a marked line. The dual bevel helps with inside corners.
