Summary: Best jigsaw I have ever used!!
Comments: As a long-time professional who has used (and abused) many jigsaws, I can say this1excels. My standby and favorite to date has been a corded Bosch, which has served me well and is amazingly durable. however1thing that has always annoyed me with it, and with e other jigsaw I have owned/used, is the inevitable chatter that happens when the saw is not carefully and intentionally pressed firmly against the work surface. I have never experienced this with the DeWalt.
At 1st, I thought the DeWalt's weight would be an issue, however if anything, it is an asset and contrihoweveres to the natural balance, the smooth cut, the stability and lack of the tendency to chatter. The blade-changing system is excellent, and I have zero complaints about this tool.
Another thing that has annoyed me forever with any corded jigsaw is that because of the nature of the cuts1does with a jigsaw, the cord seems to be in the way often. It is a real luxury to not have to deal with that anymore!!
Re: the reviewer who's blade-lock lever broke (bummer), I'd bet he got a one-in-a-million faulty part there. That lever appears to be stout beyond any normal requirements.
Re: battery life, as pointed out by more than1reviewer already, this is rarely a primary tool, as nobody generally uses a jigsaw for hours on end. I have about 8 batteries in circulation for my dozen or so DeWalt tools (I love all of them), and so far I have never exhausted a battery on the jigsaw in a single day, much less a single cutting session.

Summary: great tool
Comments: this tool get from me a great rating. it makes using a hand jigsaw what it should be. to not be tethered to a cord allows1to use a jigsaw in places where trailing an extension cord would be difficult, not to say inconvenient. used it last week in my attic to do some work. have several of the Dewalt cordless tools and love them all. |

Summary: DC330K
Comments: I am pleased with my DeWalt jig saw kit. The kit comes complete with jig saw, battery, charger, and a couple of blades. It cuts efficiently and smoothly. For me, the best part is that it complements my other 5 XRP cordless tools. I always have a spare battery if I need one. I have also found that DeWalt sells high quality drill bits/saw blades. They work great together!! I highly endorse this jig saw, and all the XRP tools. Individually, they may not be best in class, however they are surely runners up at the minimum. Collectively, as a set they are top notch. Whatever you choose, pick a system with a common battery/charger. |

Summary: As great as its corded brothers
Comments: Pro's - Best I have ever used. The minimal qualities it looses to corded models it makes up for not having to deal with the cord. Great balance and power. Maybe Dewalts single best 18V tool.
Con's - I wish dewalt had a smaller and lighter batteries (worth what you might pay for them). I have not felt effects from the extra weight with this tool; it is nicely balanced.
Overview: I always mention Dewalts entire 18V platform in reviews. I have other 18V tools (3 different brands) however I now have 11 Dewalt tools and no other manufacture offers this on1platform.
UPDATE: I have used the Jig on numerous jobs and it has been perfect etime. The battery life, power, and finess in fine work has been great!!!! |
