DEWALT20V MAX XR Jig Saw, 3,200 Blade Speed, Cordless, Brushless Motor, LED Light, Bare Tool Only (DCS334B)

This product is DeWALT’s latest version of their Jig Saw tool (DeWALT Model Number DCS334B). This is one of DeWALT’s line of 20V MAX tools and is designed to run on the DeWALT 20V MAX line of batteries. This tool is sold as a “Bare Tool” which means that the tool comes alone in a box without a battery, battery charger, or other optional accessories.This tool utilizes a brushless motor to power the tool’s saw blade. The brushless motor is designed to be more efficient, to generate less heat, and to produce more power for the same energy input compared with legacy brushed motors. This tool has a variable speed trigger and a rotary speed adjustment dial. The rotary dial is used for setting the maximum speed of the tool’s motor, and therefore the stroke rate of the saw’s blade. The variable speed trigger controls the speed of the tool’s motor from the motor’s start to the maximum speed set with the rotary dial. The tool is capable of a maximum of 3,200 blade strokes per minute (SPM). The tool has a bright LED lamp placed on the front of the tool to illuminate the tool’s immediate work area. The tool also has an integrated dust blower that will clear the line of sight for the tool while using the saw.The main body of the tool is designed with a “D”-shaped operator control handle with the variable speed trigger placed in the conventional location for activation with the user’s index finger. A trigger lock is placed next to the trigger for convenient access by the user. The rotary speed adjustment dial is placed above the variable speed trigger. The “D”-shaped operator control handle has an elastomer over-molded surface to provide the operator a positive purchase upon the tool for superior grip and control of the tool in use. The front of the tool also has an over-molded surface to provide the user with another surface to use to control the tool if extra control is deemed necessary. The tool may be used with either the user’s right or left hand equally well. Overall, the tool is relatively compact for such a powerful tool but the tool is designed so that the user can still maintain maximum control at all times.This tool employs an all-metal, lever-action, keyless blade change system. This system allows for quick and easy changes of the “T”-shank type jig saw blades used by the tool. The tool utilizes an orbital blade action system for controlling the motion of the blade’s cutting motion. Four (4) progressive cutting patterns are avail to the user. The motions progress from a simple vertical reciprocating motion to three increasingly progressive orbital-type motions for more aggressive cutting actions.This saw has an all-metal base shoe, with a removeable non-marring shoe cover to help protect work surfaces from scratches. The easily adjustable keyless, lever-controlled shoe has a bevel adjustment with detents placed at 0°, 15°, 30°, and with a positive stop at 45° available in both the left and right directions.I really like this tool and have waited for a long time to actually purchase one. I particularly like that this tool may be set-up, adjusted, and operated without the need for any additional tools. No Allen Keys, screwdrivers, or wrenches are needed to set-up, adjust, or actually use this tool. Also, this tool may be used with any of the DeWALT 20V MAX batteries. That said, it seems to me that the larger batteries may not be as useful with this tool as the smaller batteries will be. The smaller DeWALT batteries are lighter, and obviously smaller, making the tool just that much easier to use, most particularly in tight working conditions. I think that the new, just released, DeWALT 4.0Ah PowerPack batteries (DeWALT Model Number DCB2104) will be absolute perfection for use with this tool. Now I just need to get my hands on a pair of those new technology batteries.I had wanted this tool for quite some time and when Amazon finally placed it on sale, I jumped at the opportunity. Now I am looking for the perfect case for organizing, storing, and transporting the tool, my chosen batteries, and a few needed accessories, such as blades, to complete my acquisition. I am so glad that I no longer will need to deal with power cords, extension cords, and all of the various little tools required for installing the blades and adjusting the saw’s base like with my old corded jig saw. Thank you DeWALT for creating a great tool.

this is a very well made jigsaw, i was impressed with the cutting action and its ability to cut so well. i will be keeping this jigsaw for ever . thats the first time i have ever felt this way about a battery powered tool. its perfect . the blade holder is not super easy to install or remove the blade but its understood because its got a perfect cutting action and holds the blade perfectly . the speed is amazing slow and fast and everything in between. the weight is right and the handle is perfect. the size and weight is perfect it seems to fit into tight places and the quality of the saws quality, battery life , power and design is perfect . it also runs cool instead of like some other brands that noticeably run HOT .

This DeWalt Jigsaw is built tough and designed to deliver excellent results.Feels great in the hand being highly ergonomic with the rubberized areas for increased grip that offers greater control.Functionality is superb and simply beats the old Craftsman corded jigsaw I have hands down.Fits my 20 V Max DeWalt batteries perfectly, of course, which is great that the lineup of my other DeWalt 20V Max tools all work in synchronicity with interchangeable batteries, nice!Like my other DeWalt tools, this one is hard to beat and will work just about anywhere!Amazing Engineering and Technology…So AWESOME!

I was slow to get this because of other needs in my shop. Now I wish that I would have got it sooner. Great build quality. All controls and adjustments are crisp and clean. Handling is very stable and sure, and easy to make quality cuts. Dewalt is the standard in construction for a reason, and they have delivered another quality crafted tool. If you were thinking about getting it, do it! You’ll be glad you did.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have two other Dewalt products and they have lasted a long time. The price was right as well.Saw quality:

This is a nice jig saw. The trigger speed control operates well and offers very good control, blade changing/retention is excellent. The light that illuminates the working edge of the blade seems to be off a little, but not enough for me to fuss about. It seems to make good use of whatever battery I use, as an example with a 2amp battery I get about 4 hours of use, cutting 1/2 and 3/4" plywood. I would buy again, but I sure hope I don't need to for quite some time.

I looked at several jigsaws before landing on this one. Just grabbing the head of the others, i.e. Flex, rigid, bosch, cobolt, craftsman, this had the least amount of play. I wanted to love the Flex cause i own the 7 1/4 circular, sawsall, drill and impact driver. Bu it i also have lots of dewalt and batteries so i purchased this one. Great tool and i like the quick release head. Sturdy and easy to do with gloves on.

I have become a fan of DeWALT tools, and this jigsaw completed my collection. I am running out of shelf space for DeWALT tools and batteries.
