DeWalt DCS334 18V XR Brushless Top Handle Jigsaw with DWST1-71195 TSTAK VI Case

Product Information

The DCS334 offers a fixed speed setting. It’s reliable for most tasks, but if you need that extra control over speed, you might find it limiting. Like being in control? Another big improvement in function on the DeWalt DCS334 cordless jigsaw brings it. In addition to the variable speed trigger, a speed control dial on top of the handle lets you limit the saw’s top speed. This provides an amazing amount of control when you’re trying to make slow, precise cuts. Here’s the official list of features and specs:

The DCS335 boasts a variable speed trigger, allowing you to adjust the cutting speed on the fly. This feature is fantastic when you need to slow things down for intricate cuts or speed up for rough cuts. Example: If you’re just starting with woodworking or occasional DIY projects, the DCS334 provides an affordable entry point without compromising too much on quality. 8. Warranty and Support Nobody wants to waste time fumbling around with wrenches and Allen keys when changing blades. That’s where DeWalt’s tool-free features come into play. Example: If you’re heavily invested in the DeWalt 20V MAX lineup, the DCS335 could save you money by sharing batteries across your tools. 7. Price Point Both the DCS335 and DCS334 typically come with DeWalt’s standard 3-year limited warranty, offering peace of mind against manufacturing defects.

Put It To The Floor

The all new 18V XR Brushless Jigsaw featuring new XR Lithium-ion technology now upgraded with a brushless motor for increased runtime and performance. During all the cutting I did, the saw handled very well, with much less vibration than my corded jigsaw. When the trigger is released, the blade stops instantly, which should help reduce the frequency of foul language. Jigsaw-induced foul language, at any rate. Example: Imagine you’re in the middle of a home renovation, switching between cutting wood, plastic, and metal. The DCS335‘s tool-free system ensures you can swap blades with ease, keeping the workflow smooth. 4. Ergonomics and Comfort Particularly, the DCS334B is lighter than its counterpart, and it features a coal-free motor that way better than the DCS331B engine. What's more, when it comes to speed, the DCS334B offers a higher speed than the DCS331B. The saw also comes with an anti-splinter insert, which can be attached either to the shoe or the no-mar cover. When I used it, the insert tended to come loose. And a removable anti-splinter insert is also included. The DeWalt DCS334 Speeds (Variably) Into Orbit

As we mentioned earlier, the DeWalt DCS334 has a speed-limiting dial, in addition to the variable speed trigger. The trigger is very easy to use, and offers great control over the saw’s speed. Used in combination with the dial, you can limit the top speed, so you can just crank the trigger all the way without worry about losing control. Setting the speed dial to 1 and using the variable speed trigger lets you go VERY slowly and precisely. They also pass on a dust port. It’s not a mainstream standard feature yet, but it is something you’ll see from Ridgid and Milwaukee. The DCS335 features DeWalt’s rubber over-molded grip, offering excellent comfort and control. It’s a pleasure to hold, even during extended use.

Scrolling Through The Features On The DeWalt DCS334

The DCS334, being an 18V tool, has its own battery ecosystem. While it’s still reliable, it might not offer the same compatibility with your existing DeWalt tools. The DCS335 is part of the DeWalt 20V MAX system, which means it shares batteries with other 20V DeWalt tools. If you already have other tools in this lineup, it’s convenient to have interchangeable batteries. The only feature some might yearn for is a dust collection port. It’s available on the European version of the DCS334, and there are connection instructions in the U.S. manual, so hopefully it will be available later this year. A dust extraction chute to maintain the peace, hopefully coming soon…

Both jigsaws are cordless and rely on rechargeable batteries. However, there’s a difference in battery compatibility. Example: If you’re a professional contractor, comfort and ergonomics are paramount. The DCS335‘s grip can make a world of difference during long working hours. 5. Dust Management and Visibility The deciding factor in buying this set was that it came with a double-sided plastic case, capable of holding even more than the 14 blades it came with. I have lots of blades at home that came on a cardboard sleeve, and the blades end up all over the place, so I’m very excited to have a way to keep my blades corralled. I know, I need to get a life… Ready To Take The DeWalt DCS334 Cordless Jigsaw For A Scroll?This compact tool weighs about 4.2 pounds which is quite impressive for a handheld machine. Why? Because the exterior is made using monolithic aluminum, lessening this machine's weight to a manageable level. What's more, the handle is rather firm and sturdy. Its design comes with the ability to decrease the engine's vibration force. LED Light position pendulum action controls the aggressiveness or smoothness of cuts, tool free adjustable shoe with anti-scratch cover bevels to 47° in both directions. However, if you're a professional carpenter searching for a powerful, lightweight machine, and you don't mind spending some extra cash, the DCS334B is a perfect choice.

The predecessor to the DeWalt DCS334, the DeWalt DCS331, has been around for several years. DeWalt took what was already a very capable tool and updated it – and upgraded it – in several areas. The biggest upgrade to the new version is the brushless motor. It has more power, runs more smoothly, and runs cooler and more efficiently. It’s also faster, at 3,200 SPM (strokes per minute) vs. 3,000 on the older model. Example: If you often work on projects that require precise cuts, like intricate woodworking or installing countertops, the dust blower on the DCS335 can be a game-changer. 6. Battery Compatibility Example: Let’s say you’re working on a delicate scrollwork project. The DCS335 with its variable speed trigger will let you precisely control the blade speed, ensuring those intricate curves come out perfect. 3. Blade Change and Tool-Free FeaturesThe first thing I noticed when I liberated the DeWalt DCS334 from its sturdy case is how robust it is. The saw has a great heft to it, and appears solidly built from top to bottom. The front end is all metal, including the blade clamping lever. The handle has a rubber overmold, making the saw more comfortable to hold, while helping reduce vibration. The handle on the DeWalt DCS334 is comfortable, and the trigger is smooth. The DCS334, while still comfortable, doesn’t have the same ergonomic design as the DCS335. If you have larger hands or plan on marathon projects, you might notice the difference.
