Summary

If you can afford the price, get your hands on this deal. The kit is backed by 90-day money back guarantee, 1-year free service and 3-year limited warranty. It is strongly recommended for most DIY projects and light-duty applications and it scores one of our highest for a cordless jig saw.

This DEWALT DCS330L 18-Volt Cordless XRP Lithium-Ion Jig Saw Kit is like the DCS331M1, but is lesser in terms of weight, volts, and price while strokes per minute are equal and output is also same. However, DCS330L beats the DCS331M1 in rating which is shockingly 4.8 out of 5.0 stars with almost zero complaints.

Introduced in March 2010, the manufacturer announced 90-day money back guarantee and this offer still stands with 1 year of free service and 3 years of warranty. The confidence in this tool also reflects in user rating and astonishing feedbacks. But before making any decision, let’s see if this jigsaw is enough for various light duty tasks.

Small Tool, Full of Surprises

The metal gear housing comes exclusively with DEWALT power tools and is seen once again in the DEWALT 18-Volt Cordless XRP Lithium-Ion Jig Saw Kit. Some extra weight returns in the shape of durability, gear protection, and shields against abuses. Weighing only 6.6 pounds, this tool is also the choice of those professionals who require alternative battery powered jigsaw in their arsenal. It comes with a keyless blade clamp and you can install T-shank jigsaw as well for precise cutting and additional holding capacity.

It comes with variable speed trigger, the farther you press, the faster it strokes. In order to hold a certain speed, press lock button, placed right above the thumb position. A straight cut and three orbital positions come in the same specifications. Strokes per minute vary between 0 and 3000 and each stroke length remains 1 inch.

Versatile – Durable – User-Friendly

Jigsaws usually cover cut-line with debris and one must blow to keep the cut straight. But this model features a dust blower so you don’t have to stop in the middle of a job. The shoe is tough and remains in shape for years. It bevels to let you set between 0, 15, 30 and 45 degrees for easy bevel cutting. The battery will surprise you with its charge capacity and runtime.

The DEWALT 18-Volt Cordless XRP Lithium-Ion Jig Saw Kit comes in a pattern of 18V MAX XRP Lithium-ion. It can hold a charge like forever. Forget overnight charge, the charge in this kit can fill the battery with 100% power in just one hour. The price tag is very reasonable too and this kit saves money and time.
