The best DeWalt jigsaws, compared.
Top pick: DeWalt DCS334B 20V MAX bare jigsaw Best value: DeWalt DCS334B 20V MAX bare jigsaw – Lowest amazon.co.uk price of the three, about £164.84, for a bare brushless listing. Updated October 2026.
A DeWalt jigsaw for a UK shopper is the current brushless 18 V saw, sold on amazon.co.uk mainly as a bare unit. Judge the brand field and the model code. Both handles share a 26 mm stroke and manual capacities of 135 mm in wood, 25 mm in aluminium and 10 mm in steel, and both take blades only. None of the three boxes includes a battery or a charger. The [DeWalt jigsaw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/de-walt-jigsaw/sub/de-walt-jigsaw-buying-guide) covers platform, handle and box contents before you treat a 2000 W line as a motor rating. A DeWalt jigsaw is one of three genuine brushless bodies on amazon.co.uk, not a third-party saw that only accepts a DeWalt pack. The three that remain are bare: no battery and no charger. You need an XR pack and a UK charger. Add that cost before you compare a bare unit with a corded saw or with a kit. If you already own XR packs, the bare unit matches what the UK reviews describe.

Question 1 of 2
Where do you want your hand?
The DCS334B is listed on amazon.co.uk at £164.84 as a bare brushless jigsaw, the lowest price of the three genuine DeWalt units in this comparison. The title says bare tool only, and the included-components line names a metal shoe, not a battery, a charger, or a case. It is 4.8 out of 5 from 9,334 reviews, but in the first 50 review blocks only a minority are marked Reviewed in the United Kingdom, so that star line is not British opinion. The listing calls the platform 20V MAX, while DeWalt's own wording is that 20 V is the maximum initial voltage with no load and the nominal voltage is 18 V. Reviewers who already own a pack praise the variable-speed trigger on detailed cuts, the LED, and a quick keyless T-shank change, and one UK review calls it easy to handle. The same sample notes the missing battery, one UK reviewer wanted a storage case, and one cut ran into the length of the blade rather than the motor. The Amazon line of 2000 W is not corroborated in the raw file, and the listing never names the handle: the code is the US bare tool DCS334B, not the UK trade code DCS334N-XJ. It is the best value in this set if you already have an 18V XR pack and you accept that model code and that review sample.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own an 18V XR or 20V MAX pack and you want the lowest price of these three listings, with a trigger and a dial.
Less suitable: You want a listing that names the body grip, a mostly British review sample, or a case in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the DCS334B come with a battery?
The listing title says bare tool only. The included-components line names a metal shoe. A charger is not stated.
Which blades does it take?
The bullets say it accepts T-shank blades and has an all-metal lever-action keyless blade change.
Does it have a light and a dust blower?
Yes. The title includes an LED light, and a bullet lists an integrated dust blower.
The DCS335NT-XJ is listed at £221.41 as an 18V brushless bare unit in a T-STAK case, 4.7 out of 5 from 675 reviews. Against the £179.00 DCS335N-XJ, that is about £42 on these two amazon.co.uk prices, and the included-components line says the case contains no battery or charger. The bullets state a tool-free shoe to 45° both ways, a four-position pendulum, a keyless T-shank clamp, a dust blower and an LED, but they do not name a body grip, and one LED line also says "when drill is in use". In the first 50 review blocks only a minority of the headers are marked Reviewed in the United Kingdom. A UK joiner describes it as powerful on kitchen worktops, and another UK review says the shape stays on the work with down-cut blades and that it feels easier than a top-handle saw. The same UK comments call the on/off control an awkward slide switch that takes practice, and a reviewer in the Netherlands expected a battery in the case. The listing weight of 1.5 kg does not match the manual's 2.0 kg for a DCS335 without a battery, and the Amazon wattage of 500 W is only a listing attribute. Buy this listing when you want that saw and a case, not when you only need the bare tool.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the DCS335 saw and a T-STAK case, and you already own an 18V XR pack.
Less suitable: You only need the bare tool, or you want a trigger top handle and a mostly British review sample.

Common questions
What is in the box?
The included-components line says a T-STAK case without a battery or charger. The title calls it a bare unit in a kit box.
Can the shoe bevel without a tool?
The bullets say a tool-free adjustable shoe with an anti-scratch cover bevels to 45 degrees in both directions.
Does the listing call this a body-grip saw?
The bullets do not say body grip. UK reviews compare it with a top-handle saw and describe the on/off control as a slide switch that takes practice.
The DCS335N-XJ is the body-grip bare unit at £179.00, and it is 4.6 out of 5 from 783 amazon.co.uk reviews. The first 50 review blocks are marked Reviewed in the United Kingdom, which is the British sample in this set. Those reviews describe more directional control and tighter turns than a conventional top-handle jigsaw, plus stable cuts once a suitable blade is fitted. The keyless lever change and the tool-free bevel, with detents at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, come up as practical points, including one note that a hot blade can be ejected without touching it. The grip is wide and rubberised: one detailed review says it still works with smaller hands, while others find it a bit large. The on/off control is the recurring complaint, because one reviewer could not always reach the switch with the thumb while cutting, and it is not a conventional trigger. A dust-extraction piece can hide the pencil line, a battery is required and not included, and the listing does not state an LED. It is the top pick when you want the hand low for curves or a worktop and you already have an 18V XR pack and a UK charger.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You cut curves or worktops, you want the UK-reviewed body-grip bare unit, and you already own 18V XR batteries.
Less suitable: You want a familiar trigger under the index finger, or you have no DeWalt pack and charger yet.

Common questions
Is this a body-grip jigsaw, and is a battery included?
The title and bullets call it an 18V XR brushless body-grip bare unit. One lithium-ion battery is listed as required, not as included.
How far does the shoe bevel?
The listing says a keyless shoe bevel with detents at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°.
What do the UK reviews say about the switch?
Reviewers praise control and the keyless blade change. One says the switch is hard to reach with the thumb while cutting, and that it is not a conventional trigger.
Three amazon.co.uk listings were kept from twelve raw files. Nine other-brand saws were excluded. The score on each card is the star line only, mapped from the listing (4.8 to 96, 4.6 to 92, 4.7 to 94). There is no laboratory cut. The top pick is the body-grip listing whose first 50 review blocks are from the United Kingdom. Best value is the lowest shelf price of the three. The weights below are the buying checks. They sum to 100 and they do not override those two badge rules.
Genuine DeWalt
30%The brand field and the model code decide the row. A title that only says compatible with DeWalt is a different saw, and those listings were left out.
Platform and box
25%All three kept listings are bare. You need an 18V XR pack and a UK charger. 20V MAX on the DCS334B listing is maximum initial voltage, not a second platform. The case does not change stroke or capacity.
Handle and speed
25%Body grip if you want the hand low for curves and worktops, with a dial and a slide switch. The DCS334 family is the trigger and dial. The DCS334B listing does not name the handle.
Blade, orbital and capacity
20%T-shank blades only. Orbital settings 1 to 3 are for soft wood and plastic, not metal or hardwood. Manual capacity is 135 mm in wood, 25 mm in aluminium and 10 mm in steel. Ignore listing wattage.
Start with the model code, then the box. A DeWalt jigsaw here is a genuine 18 V brushless body, not a cheaper saw that only accepts a DeWalt pack. All three amazon.co.uk rows are bare, so a sticker is not the cost of cutting until you add an 18V XR pack and a UK charger you do not own. The handle and the speed control change the cut. The case on the DCS335NT-XJ does not. The top pick is the named body grip with a British review sample. The best value is the lowest shelf price.
A DeWalt jigsaw on this page is one of three genuine brushless bodies on amazon.co.uk, not a third-party saw that only accepts a DeWalt pack. Nine of twelve raw listings in the same pull were other brands, about £33.99 to £48.99, and they are out of the table. The three that remain are bare: no battery and no charger. You need an 18V XR pack and a UK charger. Add that cost before you compare a bare unit with a corded saw or with a kit.
Nine of twelve raw listings in this pull were other brands, about £33.99 to £48.99. They are out of the table. A title that says compatible with DeWalt does not carry this vibration figure, this stroke, or the UK 3-year XR guarantee, which needs registration.
All three kept listings are bodies. None includes a battery or a charger. The T-STAK case on the DCS335NT-XJ does not change that. A trade-seller price for a DCS334N-XJ is not an amazon.co.uk price on this page.
The Amazon line of 2000 W on the DCS334B is not corroborated, and 500 W on the NT listing is only a listing attribute. Orbital settings 1 to 3 are for soft wood and plastic. The manual says not to use orbital on metal or hardwood. Do not read 135 mm as a cut in metal.
The first check is whether the listing is a DeWalt, not a saw that only accepts a DeWalt pack. Nine of twelve raw files in this pull were other brands, about £33.99 to £48.99. Read the brand field and the model code. DCS334B is the US bare code on amazon.co.uk. The UK trade code in that family is DCS334N-XJ, and it is not the same ASIN. DCS335N-XJ is the body-grip bare unit. DCS335NT-XJ is that saw with a case. The second check is the battery platform and the box.
Handle and speed control change the cut more than a wattage row. Choose the body grip, DCS335, if you want the hand low for curves and worktops. The listing for DCS335N-XJ names that grip. The NT listing does not name it, though the code is the cased version of the same saw. The manual gives the body grip a dial from 1000 to 3200 strokes per minute and a slide switch. UK reviews say that switch is not a conventional trigger and can be hard to reach while cutting.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You already own an 18V XR pack and you want the lowest price of these three listings, with a trigger and a dial. The DCS334B is about £164.84 as a bare tool. The listing does not name the handle, the 9,334-review line is mostly not from the United Kingdom, and there is no battery, charger or case in the box.
You cut curves or worktops and you want the listing that names the body grip, with a British review sample. The DCS335N-XJ is about £179.00, 4.6 from 783 reviews, and the first 50 review blocks are from the United Kingdom. The switch is not a conventional trigger, and a battery is not included.
You want the DCS335 saw and a T-STAK case, and you already own an 18V XR pack. The DCS335NT-XJ is about £221.41. The case still has no battery or charger, and it does not change the published stroke or capacity. The listing does not name the handle.
The top pick is the DCS335N-XJ at about £179.00. It is 4.6 out of 5 from 783 reviews, the listing names the body grip, and the first 50 review blocks are from the United Kingdom. The best value is the DCS334B at about £164.84, the lowest price of the three, sold as a bare tool with a review sample that is mostly not British. The DCS335NT-XJ adds a T-STAK case at about £221.41 and still has no battery or charger. None of these results is a laboratory test. If you do not own an 18V XR pack, add a battery and a UK charger before you treat a bare price as the cost of cutting.
