Best Cordless Jigsaws (2026)

The DCS335B is the barrel grip version of DeWalt's brushless jigsaw, with a top speed of 3,200 strokes per minute and a bright LED. A barrel grip puts your hand close to the blade, which many carpenters find gives better control on curves and tight cuts. DeWalt says the brushless motor gives longer run time than the older DCS331.

Compared with the DCS331B it is more efficient and a bit more compact, and it is the better saw for repeated, detailed cuts. Against the Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-handle saw it is smaller, while the Milwaukee offers a different grip style. For most buyers the barrel grip is the more controlled choice.

It is a bare tool, so buy a 2 Ah to 4 Ah battery if you do not own one. A small pack keeps the saw light, and a large pack adds run time. Keep the roller guide clean and use quality blades. Keep the saw by a clean workbench so sawdust does not enter the guide roller.

The DCS331B is the older brushed DeWalt jigsaw, with a four position orbital action, an all-metal keyless blade change lever and a keyless bevel shoe with detents at 0, 15, 30 and 45 degrees. Those metal parts have held up for years on jobsites. It is a simple and proven saw.

Compared with the DCS335B it uses a brushed motor, so it burns through batteries faster, but it often costs less. The all-metal shoe and lever are more rugged than plastic designs on cheaper saws. It suits users who already own 20V MAX batteries and want a dependable tool.

Replacement brushes are inexpensive, and parts are easy to find. Keep the roller guide lubricated and replace blades before they dull. The metal lever is easy to use with gloves, which matters in winter.

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-handle jigsaw is a professional grade saw with a brushless motor and the familiar top D-handle that many people find comfortable for long cuts. It is sold as a bare tool, so the choice depends mostly on whether you own M18 batteries. The D-handle gives a stable platform for straight and curved cuts alike.

Compared with the DeWalt DCS335B's barrel grip it is a more traditional shape, with a higher center of gravity. Against the Black+Decker BDCJS20B it is built for daily use rather than occasional jobs. It is a strong choice for M18 owners.

M18 batteries are large, so choose a compact pack if you want a lighter saw. Keep the blade clamp free of dust and replace the roller guide when it wears. It also works well as a plunge cutter for sink cutouts when you start the cut with the blade angled.

The Wooders jigsaw advertises a brushless motor at 3,200 spm and a full 1 inch stroke, a little longer than the typical 3/4 inch stroke. An internal counterweight is designed to reduce vibration, and a 4.0 Ah battery is included. It is a complete kit.

Compared with the DeWalt DCS335B it matches the speed and offers a longer stroke, at a lower price including battery. It lacks the DeWalt's platform depth. Against the Seesii it has a stronger spec sheet on stroke and battery size.

Treat the build quality as unproven, and check the warranty. Replace the stock blade with a better one for finish work. A spare battery makes the kit practical for a full day.

The Seesii kit includes two 2.0 Ah batteries, nine blades and a four setting orbital action, with a thumb push quick release for blade changes. The shoe bevels plus or minus 45 degrees. It is aimed at buyers who want a complete package for wood, metal and PVC.

Compared with the Wooders it has a smaller battery but a second one, which means no waiting. It lacks the brushless motor claims, so run time is shorter. Against the Black+Decker BDCJS20B it includes batteries and blades, so the overall value is stronger.

Blade quality varies, so use the extras for rough cuts. Keep the batteries at partial charge in storage. Swap blades as soon as the cut slows, since nine blades give you plenty of spares.

The Black+Decker BDCJS20B is a bare tool jigsaw with tool-free blade changes that accept both U and T shank blades, which is a flexibility most saws lack. It makes straight, curved, angled and plunge cuts. The POWERCONNECT platform shares batteries with a wide range of home and garden tools.

Compared with the DeWalt DCS331B it is lighter duty, but it costs much less. Against the Seesii kit it lacks batteries and blades but offers a proper platform. It suits the homeowner who already owns Black+Decker batteries.

It is not meant for all day professional use. Keep blades fresh and the shoe tight. It is not a tool for hours of daily use, but it is solid for a homeowner.
