Dewalt cordless jigsaw

I haven’t really been posting much.  Still get on here and check it out, a few times a week.

This isn’t a question or problem topic.  More like, “Hey, I like this” topic.

The DeWalt 20v jigsaw.  I’ve had it about a year and I’m really happy with it.  I don’t use it often, but everytime I do, I like it.  Just used it yesterday and I was so happy with the quality of cut.  Everything seems to work so good.  I wish it had an LED on it, but other than that, I have no complaints.  

That’s all I’ve got.  A good tool and I thought it deserved an honorable mention.

it´s great

we are all waiting for a brushless version !

anybody heard ????

Ive still got the 18v model, its the last tool that i havent swapped over to the 20v slide packs. Its still awesome, no frills, just cuts great! But yeah, have been holding out for a brushless one with led light. Rumour has it the new ones coming, wish it would hurry up ?

+1 LED… but don’t wait, it could be a decade. just buy the bare too and enjoy it! 

Ya I’m holding out for brushless 20v stuff, I’ll a stay tethered to the cord till then.

I don’t have it but it looks solid. For a cordless jig saw I’ve got the Makita brushless barrel grip. If Dewalt had that….imagine a 20v brushless version of this 😀

I have the 20 V jigsaw, I agree that it works great.

I would not wait for brushless version.

It’s not too hard on batteries and for most people, I think it’s an occasional use tool. Even a three amp hour battery lasts a long time.

I can’t justify replacing the 18 volt one I have. I still have 2 good lithium batteries plus 5 of the NiCads, I think  it and the right angle drill, will probably end up being the last items that get replaced. I am slowly sliding toward the 20V line and made a bit of a jump last year with the miter saw, blowers and string trimmer.

Personally this is one of those tools that brushless makes no sense. I can’t imagine anyone using it enough to justify the charge of upgrading. It’s nearly a perfect tool as is, just as mentioned needs a good light. Blower works great, blade advance is fantastic, tons of power, fast for clean cuts, and variable speed for fine control. 

If you’re holding out…I wouldn’t hesitate at buying it. I put it up there among the ranks of the DCN660 as the best of the best that Dewalt has to offer in cordless tools. 

I’ve been holding out myself. More for barrel grip than anything. It’s on the would-be-nice list rather than the must-have list. 

I just don’t see how you can engineer it to make sense with a battery hanging off of it somewhere with that style. 

Hmmmm……I’ve got the Makita, it’s brilliant, wish I had the Carvex (I have the corded version) but here are some pics to help 🙂

Alright, now somebody has to take a picture of that Milwaukee with a 9 Ah battery. :D:D:D:D:D

Huh I hadn’t even seen this style in cordless…but it appears to be user supported for a large battery, no? Balance isn’t necessary for every tool I know but I prefer it when available.

The ones I have tried honestly don’t suffer from balance though the Milwaukee looks the most tipsy. Im sure it’s centered by the head though.

I have a corded Milwaukee barrel grip.  It’s been fine.  26 years and still going strong, but it’s also a tool that doesn’t get daily use.  All of the other Milwaukee tools, that I bought 26 years ago, have died long ago.

The DeWalt jigsaw is just one of their better tools.  Runs so smooth.  I was cutting circles in 2x material and the blade stayed on track.  I’m sure there are alot better ones out there, but I am happy with it.  I would say it reminds me of a sewing machine running.

Used a bosch corded jigsaw at school and it worked great.

Did not know these types exist…I have the 20v max jig and a barrel bosh…I’d buy a Dewalt like that Milwaukee one

Yeah for some reason the standard jigsaw blade fastening system is also called sds here in EU

I’ve got it all. A good tool and I thought it deserved a respectable mention. click here…
