I just picked up a Ridgid Compact Orbital Jig Saw from Direct Tools for $35 (with tax!).
The company is having a 25% off everything sale.
I bought it at a nearby outlet store. It's a re-manufactured, along with the extra 25% off.
I cut a few sample boards yesterday ---- and am thrilled by the solid feel of this jig saw. There's far less vibration.
Certainly worth the price I paid.
There's drawbacks that I see;
a) Bevel gauge is hard to read.
b) No variable speed dial.
c) Slider power switch does not feel natural.
Afraid my Ryobi is going to take a back seat, unless I need variable speed. I rarely need to cut on an angle, so it's a non-issue.
