Our Mission
To empower all people to succeed at their passions. Our goal is to make table saw injuries a thing of the past.
The opportunity
Bring safety and innovation to all.
It is evident that with a table saw injury every 9 minutes, 50,000 Table Saw accidents a year, over $2 billion in injury-related costs (US Consumer Product Safety Commission) and the shortage of affordable innovative products that truly empower safety - there is a large void within the consumer woodworking safety market which MICROJIG is able and willing to fill.
With over 10 million core woodworking enthusiasts, 61 million home DIYers, 64 million baby boomers ready to embrace their long lost passion of building with their hands and over 250,000 table saws sold annually, there’s never been a better time to join a fast-growing forward-thinking tool company that is reinventing the industry and saving people from harm’s way.
MICROJIG has been providing innovative solutions to the tool industry since 2001.
Since the release of the original GRR-RIPPER, the company has grown to offer seven distinct product lines serving 20 countries and has sold more than 1 million products. MICROJIG continues to engineer innovative solutions. Several of MICROJIG’s products are No. 1 best sellers on Amazon and are featured in major retailers like Home Depot, Menards, Walmart, Woodcraft and Rockler.
We have established a commitment to creating high-quality US-made goods contributing to the renewal of American manufacturing. Our unique table saw safety systems are the perfect complement to the consumer’s desire for table saw safety equipment from a trusted and reliable tool manufacturer.
The GRR-RIPPER’s innovative design allows table saw operators to protect their hands throughout the entire cut while simultaneously preventing kickback. No other push pad/push stick offers this level of protection for through-cut operations. Our family of brands are redefining the way craftsman go to work worldwide.
