Best DeWalt jigsaw

Updated: 21 October 2026

You want one amazon.co.uk listing to open, and a clear reason to leave the other two. Best DeWalt jigsaw only means something once you say best for whom. The top pick is the UK-reviewed body-grip bare unit if you already have 18V XR packs and you can live with the switch. The best value is the DCS334B only if you accept a US model code and a review count that is not British. The [DeWalt jigsaw comparison](/hub/power-saws/de-walt-jigsaw) holds the grid, at £179.00, £164.84 and £221.41. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. No lab test sits behind these picks.

Best for what

Star counts are not comparable here. The DCS334B is 4.8 from 9,334 at £164.84, and only a minority of the first 50 blocks are from the United Kingdom. The DCS335N-XJ is 4.6 from 783 at £179.00, and those first 50 blocks are British. The DCS335NT-XJ is 4.7 from 675 at £221.41, with only a minority of those headers from the UK. Multiplying the stars by 20 puts the DCS334B first. That is not the criterion. Nine other files were compatible saws at about £33.99 to £48.99.

Top pick, the DCS335N-XJ

Open B07Q521T12 when you want the hand low and the grip suits you. The DCS335N-XJ is an 18V XR body-grip bare unit at £179.00. The bullets name the body grip, a keyless blade change, a dust blower, and bevel detents at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°. A battery is required, and an LED is not stated. UK reviews talk about tighter turns than a top-handle jigsaw. The dial sets 1000 to 3200 strokes a minute and the switch runs at that speed. It is not a trigger. Board vibration is 7.7 m/s² (K 1.5), against 5.2 m/s² on the DCS334. The handle comparison is on top handle versus body grip.

Best value, the DCS334B

The best value is B07JPFHQKG, the DCS334B, at £164.84. The title says bare tool only and names a metal shoe. Bullets state a keyless T-shank change, four orbital positions, an LED, a dust blower, and a variable-speed trigger with a dial. The platform line says 20V MAX. DeWalt treats 20 V as the maximum initial voltage and 18 V as nominal. The Amazon line of 2000 W is not corroborated. The code is the US bare tool, not DCS334N-XJ, and the listing never says top handle. The checks are on the DeWalt jigsaw buying guide.

When the TSTAK listing is the one to buy

Buy B07P57P7KZ when you want the body-grip saw and a T-STAK case. At £221.41 it is about £42 over the DCS335N-XJ, and the case has no battery. Capacities stay 135 mm in wood, 25 mm in aluminium and 10 mm in steel. The bullets do not say body grip. UK comments describe kitchen worktops and a slide switch that takes practice. The listing weight of 1.5 kg does not match the manual’s 2.0 kg. Leave all three for a long straight edge. Cutting a worktop with a jigsaw is that job.

Common questions

Which DeWalt jigsaw should I buy if I already own the batteries?
If the packs are 18V XR and you want the hand low, the top pick is the DCS335N-XJ at £179.00, provided the grip and the slide switch suit you. If you want a variable trigger and the lower price, the DCS334B at £164.84 is the best value, with a US model code and a review count that is mostly not British. Neither box includes a battery or a charger.
Is the 4.8-star listing the better saw?
It is the higher star line, 4.8 from 9,334, and the lower price. It is not a larger motor, and those reviews are not a UK sample in the first 50 blocks. The manual gives the DCS334 and the DCS335 the same stroke and the same published depths. The difference you can use is the handle, the speed control, and whether the listing’s opinions are British.
Is the body grip worth more than the top handle?
On these prices the body-grip bare unit is £179.00 and the DCS334B is £164.84, about £14 more. It is worth that gap when you want the low hand and you accept the switch. It is not worth it when you want a trigger you already know, or when the grip feels large. The extra is not more cutting depth.
Should I pay £221.41 for the case?
Pay it when you want a T-STAK case around the DCS335. On these two amazon.co.uk prices that is about £42 over the bare DCS335N-XJ, and the case still has no battery or charger. Do not pay it for a different stroke, a different depth, or a mostly British review sample. The bare unit has the stronger UK review set.
Who should skip the body grip?
Skip it if you learned on a corded top-handle jigsaw and you want the same trigger under a finger, or if your hand does not sit on the wide grip. UK reviews praise control and also complain that the switch is hard to reach while cutting. The DCS334B is the alternative in this set, with the limits on its model code and its reviews.
Is a £40 compatible saw a best-buy DeWalt?
No. Listings around £33.99 to £48.99 in this pull were other brands described as compatible with DeWalt. They can be a cheap way to use a pack. They are not the DCS334 or the DCS335, and they do not carry this manual’s vibration figures or the XR registration guarantee.
