Editorial Review:
Gentle curves, sharp turns, circles, ovals or straight cuts, it's all a cinch with this DeWalt. It's got so much power, it can easily take on jobs you'd normally hand to your circular saw, but it's got the finesse you need for cutting curves.
Our pet peeve with jigsaws has always been the complicated, tooled method of changing a blade, but bravo to DeWalt for engineering this tool-free, practically effortless blade changeout system. The flip of a lever is all it takes, and you're back on the job. It's nice, too, to not have to handle that sizzling hot blade - the saw ejects it for you.
Control is phenomenal, and it really feels like the saw does the work for you. It's on the heavy side at about 7 pounds, but that weight turns out to be an advantage. The motor powers the blade at 0 to 3,000 strokes per minute, so whether you're cutting 1/8th-inch ply or a 2-by-4, this saw does not disappoint. In fact, it's so powerful that it's easy to forget that this is, after all, a cordless saw. You can tailor the speed and aggression to suit your cutting needs with a four-position selector that changes the attitude of the blade for different cutting applications. The non-marring shoe bevels to 45 degrees with positive stops, but we found it a tad difficult to determine the exact angle we'd set. A minor quibble, but one worth mentioning.
We particularly like how this saw feels in hand. Even though it's weighty, it's beautifully balanced, and the curved rubber grip feels good to grasp. The shape of the front of the tools lends itself nicely to your free hand for guidance. And while you're cutting, the built-in dust blower really does a great job of keeping your cutting line clear. Carpenters and contractors will love this saw, and the do-it-yourselfer will find a hundred uses for it. Well worth the investment, we think. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Best cordless I've use yet. This thing kills the Bosch. Good battery

Best jigsaw I've ever used!:
As a long-time professional who has used (and abused) many jigsaws, I can say this one excels. My standby and favorite to date has been a corded Bosch, which has served me well and is amazingly durable. But one thing that has always annoyed me with it, and with every 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 first, I thought the DeWalt's... more info
great tool:
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 allows one to use a jigsaw in places where trailing an extension cord would be difficult, not to say very inconvenient. used it last week in my attic to do some work. have several of the Dewalt cordless tools and love them all.
DC330K:
I'm very 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've also found that DeWalt sells high quality drill bits/saw blades. They work great together! I highly recommend this jig saw, and all the XRP tools. Individually, they may not be best in class, but they are surely runners up at... more info
