Ridgid’s brushless barrel grip jigsaw has a total of seven speed modes ranging from 900 to 3,200 SPM. Modes 1 through 6 represent simple graduations in speed and the last is a load-sensing auto mode that provides a little more control. Additionally, this model has a 1-inch stroke length, allowing it to quickly and efficiently chew through material.

As we’ve seen on the Ridgid 18V D-handle cordless jigsaw, the Ridgid R86346 has four orbital action settings. Positioning the orbital action dial to a lower setting will result in a smoother finish, but a slower cut. A higher orbital setting produces faster cut speeds, but the finished product will be a little rougher.

Weight: 4 lbs (bare), 5.5 lbs (with 4.0Ah Max Output battery)
Length: 11.1 in.
Height: 7.4 in.
Width: 3.3 in.
Dust Port: 1 1/4 – 1 7/8 in.

The focal point of this jigsaw is its exceptionally narrow barrel grip. It’s much smaller than many of the barrel grip saws we’ve tested in the past. The smaller design allowed me to completely wrap my fingers around the grip, which made me feel really in tune with the tool during our tests.

Additional Features:
LED worklight
Integrated dust blower
Onboard blade storage
One-handed blade ejection

This Ridgid 18V Jigsaw retails for $179 as a bare tool and comes with their Lifetime Service Agreement when registered within 90 days of purchase. Currently, there are no kit options available, but we expect they’ll hit the shelves in the coming months.
