If you own a reciprocating saw, you know how many projects you can use it for.
If you don’t own one and you’re in the market, take a look at Ridgid’s 18-volt Octane reciprocating saw model. It has a brushless motor, so you’re going to get more power with that motor and you’re going to get a longer life for your battery.
Another feature of this model is it has a dial that says orbital. When you’re using a reciprocating saw, you can either get short, straight cuts, which are perfect for, say, cutting steel.
But if I want orbital cuts, all I have to do is roll the dial around to the ‘on’ position and now my blade is going to strike in an orbital pattern that’s perfect for a soft surface like wood, PVC or plastic.
And, independent of the trigger, you have a light so it illuminates your work surface, and there’s actually a little blower in the saw. So, when you’re cutting, it’s going to get all the debris off the line so you’ll see it every time.
