Cordless Top Handle Jig Saw Kit

DeWALT DC330K Heavy-Duty XRP 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Top Handle Jig Saw Kit

Gentle curves, sharp turns, circles, ovals or straight cuts, it’s all a cinch with this DeWalt. It’s got so much power, it can easily take on jobs you’d normally hand to your circular saw, but it’s got the finesse you need for cutting curves.Our pet peeve with jigsaws has always been the complicated, tooled method of changing a blade, but bravo to DeWalt for engineering this tool-free, practically effortless blade changeout system. The flip of a lever is all it takes, and you’re back on the job. It’s nice, too, to not have to handle that sizzling hot blade – the saw ejects it for you.

Control is phenomenal, and it really feels like the saw does the work for you. It’s on the heavy side at about 7 pounds, but that weight turns out to be an advantage. The motor powers the blade at 0 to 3,000 strokes per minute, so whether you’re cutting 1/8th-inch ply or a 2-by-4, this saw does not disappoint. In fact, it’s so powerful that it’s easy to forget that this is, after all, a cordless saw. You can tailor the speed and aggression to suit your cutting needs with a four-position selector that changes the attitude of the blade for different cutting applications. The non-marring shoe bevels to 45 degrees with positive stops, but we found it a tad difficult to determine the exact angle we’d set. A minor quibble, but one worth mentioning.

We particularly like how this saw feels in hand. Even though it’s weighty, it’s beautifully balanced, and the curved rubber grip feels good to grasp. The shape of the front of the tools lends itself nicely to your free hand for guidance. And while you’re cutting, the built-in dust blower really does a great job of keeping your cutting line clear. Carpenters and contractors will love this saw, and the do-it-yourselfer will find a hundred uses for it. Well worth the investment, we think.

The DC330 features an oversized, all-metal, lever-action keyless blade change for fast and easy blade insertion and removal. The jigsaw is designed with a powerful DeWalt built motor that delivers 0-3,000 spm. The 18-volt XRPTM battery provides the run time to cut up to 50 feet of ¾” material on a single charge. Four position orbital action allows users to set the aggression and speed of cut by altering the angle at which the blade sweeps through the material. An innovative flush cutting blade is included that allows the teeth on the special blade to cut at the front of the shoe. Additional features include variable speed, electric brake, counterbalanced mechanism, non-marring shoe cover, 45-degree bevel capacity, built-in dust blower, and rubber grip. The kit includes a one-hour charger, one XRPTM battery, blades, and kit box.
