Summary

Few think the DEWALT DCS331M1 20V Max Lithium Ion Jigsaw Kit is too heavy, but the weight remains on whatever is underneath, you are just pushing it forward. Highly recommend for home and DIY projects. It is hard to find battery powered jigsaw tools with a score of 9.0. You can count on 90-day money back guarantee, 1-year free service, and 3 years of limited warranty.

Selecting between a corded or cordless jigsaw depends on the job applications. Normally jigsaws are used for heavy duty applications and professionals prefer corded models for rough and tough cutting jobs. If you want one for in-house occasional “Do it yourself” projects, battery powered tools are an excellent choice for many reasons.

The main advantage is maneuverability, especially the job sites where power is not in range of a garden, open sites or remote areas. DEWALT introduced the DCS331M1 20V Max Lithium Ion Jigsaw Kit to deal with light-duty applications and we will find out the best use, so you can decide what is best for you.

Durable – Powerful – Reliable

Despite the metal construction, the weight of the DEWALT DCS331M1 20V Max Lithium Ion Jigsaw Kit is just 6.8 lbs. (bare tool). The functional area and gear housing are protected with all-metal body for durable performance over the years. The blade is keyless like other DEWALT models and it allows easy installation or removals. The option of variable speed is available with 4 positions orbital action.

This feature provides adjustments to finish a job quickly in different situations, but you can’t use orbital position 1, 2 or 3 on tough materials like hardboards except position 0 for straight cuts. Corded models produce up to 3700 ROM, but this unit delivers max 300 strokes per minute on battery for light applications, which is an ideal speed and power. The length of stroke is 1 inch.

Great Features – Advance Charging Technology

The special feature of the DEWALT 20V Max Lithium Ion Jigsaw Kit is its versatility. T-shank jigsaw blade is a choice of professionals to achieve great cuts and holding power and this model can fit those blades as well. It also features dust blower for a clear view of cut-line and this is a very handy option. The bevel capacity is same, 0-45 degrees, but DCS331M1 allows setting between 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees.

The quality of the battery is the main point of concern in cordless units. DEWALT offers 20V MAX XR premium Lithium-ion battery that delivers 4.0 Amp per hour. It lasts longer than traditional 1 Ah types and holds charge for months. The charger in this kit is kit box comes with fast charging technology to save your time.
