The present invention is directed to a jigsaw including a rotating handle. In an exemplary embodiment in accordance with the present invention, the jigsaw includes a motor housing for containing a motor. The motor housing includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the motor housing is coupled to a saw blade assembly. Further, a handle assembly is rotationally coupled to the second end of the motor housing for rotation of the handle assembly to a plurality of positions. The plurality of positions include from a zero orientation to plus or minus 90° (ninety degrees) of the zero orientation. Additionally, a securing mechanism is operationally coupled to the handle assembly for securing the rotational position of the handle assembly up to plus or minus 90° (ninety degrees) of the zero orientation.
