Inside Look: Dewalt 20V Max XR Brushless Jigsaw DCS334 vs DCS331

Inside Look: Dewalt 20V Max XR Brushless Jigsaw DCS334 vs DCS331

https://www.coptool.com/dewalt-20v-max-xr-brushless-jigsaw-dcs334-upgrade – Dewalt’s DCS331 has been on the market since 2012- and over 6 years later, Dewalt has finally released a long-awaited upgrade. The DCS334 Jigsaw has arrived and it’s engineered for the XR battery platform, offering a lot of new upgrades over the 331. For many Dewalt fans, especially those who may be approaching year 7 on their original 20V MAX jigsaw, the question now is, “should I upgrade?” To help us answer that question, we gave the tools to Jason Brown @CHOPDSHOP, a maker and craftsman of over 15 years, and asked him to compare them. Then we headed back to Ohio Power Tool where Kris Cousins takes them apart to examine the upgrades in design and engineering. This is your INSIDE LOOK at the Dewalt 20v Max Jigsaw…

    Lads, any of you had the chance to use Ryobi R18JS-0 ONE and Dewalt DCS334 or over 331? Which one I could go for for the DIY at home, decking, shed etc? I already have the batteries for Dewalt; so overall the price range comes close…Thoughts? Thanks.

    Does the XR accept bayonet blades (with the L shank)? I’ve seen someone
    say it does but I’d like confirmation of a second person before I buy.
    Thanks!

    I just picked up the XR. It’s butter. Love it



  8. Kyle Jack on September 27, 2022 at 2:28 am

    Nice video I’m brand new to carpentry hoping one day to start a small business. Really thinking about getting a jig saw an a table saw.



  9. bob knar on September 27, 2022 at 2:28 am

    Dont like selectable speed option, much rather have the response in the trigger, wish they kept that but all around the best jigsaw vs all other competitors.



  10. Marvin Barahona on September 27, 2022 at 2:31 am

    Whats is the best



  11. George Higgins on September 27, 2022 at 2:31 am

    Please take out the music – unnecessary distraction for someone considering a $200 tool.



  12. Jacob Richards-Hegnauer on September 27, 2022 at 2:32 am

    Thanks for the side by side. I have the 331, and it has two big downsides. Sadly your review/comparison does not go into "use" of the two tools and thus the DCS331’s biggest limitation was never revealed. The DCS331 claims to have a "dust blower" to keep line of sight clear, however with three different copies of this saw I have found that the DCS331’s dust blower simply can not actually keep your cutting area clear. It also lacks and built in lighting, a sure indicator of it’s 8 year old design. The DCS334 clearly solves the built in lighting problem, and that alone could get me to upgrade, however I need to be assured that it’s dust blower actually functions. If not I will look at Bosch or Makita who have solved this problem. Can anyone attest to any improvement in the DCS334 dust blower vs. the CDS331? thanks in advance.

  14. Jay Wack on September 27, 2022 at 2:34 am

    The new one is probably the best dealt tool out there in modern catalog



  15. Charles Ammon on September 27, 2022 at 2:35 am

    I have had the 331 since it came out ,actually had 2 . The detent plate gets so lose when making a cut its terrible. Does anyone know how to fix this issue and have thy experienced issues with the 334



  16. jeankille on September 27, 2022 at 2:37 am

    j’ais vue la dewalt sur amazon a 174 euros ? amzn.to/34bIpO4 ca vaut le cout a ce prix la ?



  17. Doug DiPlacido on September 27, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Great video, I am looking to buy a new jigsaw to replace my 18 volt unit and you helped me make the decision to buy the 334B model. It seems far superior.



  18. Lee Wankel on September 27, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Awesome stuff! No mention of the barrel grip. That’s a first !



  19. Creative Mario on September 27, 2022 at 2:44 am

    Best jigsaw is when you see not dust at all when you cutting watch this 😉

    This guy previously work as an anchor for fox News? lol 🤣



  21. Kurt Guelker on September 27, 2022 at 2:48 am

    One thing that was forgotten that I noticed and I’m not happy about is the new 34 does not have a blower built in. 31 had a blower that worked great and help clear away shaving away from your line. Why would ou not include that feature? Even if it added size.



  22. Gee Mann on September 27, 2022 at 2:48 am

    Prob. a good video but w
    ould like there to be a No Music in the background version.



  23. Sergei Nsk on September 27, 2022 at 2:50 am

    Классный обзор!!! Не отказался бы от любого из них, только подарить некому!



  24. Clyde Klotz on September 27, 2022 at 2:50 am

    laughing because your "go to" Ryobi’s are hanging up in your shop while you perform a DeWalt review lol



  25. Cole Corbin on September 27, 2022 at 2:51 am

    Look inside… and doesn’t even split the molded clamshell.



  26. Cj Pfeiffer on September 27, 2022 at 2:52 am

    just got one this is the best jig saw ive used or owned



  27. William Davis on September 27, 2022 at 2:53 am

    Can you use regular Dewalt batteries on the XR or do you need to buy XR batteries?



  28. Deer Phoria on September 27, 2022 at 2:53 am

    What are the best jigsaw blades? I was thinking of Diablo blades from Home Depot. Any recommendations?



  29. Jonathan Halsey on September 27, 2022 at 2:53 am

    Love my 331…I’m good for now.

    thank you



  34. Ben Jamin on September 27, 2022 at 3:02 am

    The 331 is a beast, power and durability



  35. JAGMAN on September 27, 2022 at 3:04 am

    I have the 331. I do a lot of cutting with it. My most used tool. Haven’t had any problems with it at all. If it does go out I’ll definitely pick up the brushless 334 model. Great video!



  36. Paul Weston on September 27, 2022 at 3:07 am

    I just got this jigsaw. It’s pretty awesome. Very quiet and with the battery attached it’s well balanced. I just wanted to mention one part that I noticed that was incorrect. This tool has a variable speed setting, but it also has variable speed in the trigger itself. 4:20 It kinda makes me wonder if he actually used it or if this was the first time he picked it up because you would notice something like that. Anyway, it’s definitely a great tool. However, maybe you threw it away because it’s easy to miss but there’s a little clear piece of acrylic that came in the bag with the manual. It’s a splinter guard. I can’t seem to get it attached securely to the baseplate. It just kind of sits there and wiggles. Maybe I’m missing something.



  37. Ruddog Canin on September 27, 2022 at 3:07 am

    I’m new to the dewalt line,always been a craftsman kinda guy,but I’m going all in on dewalt after I got robbed and lost my craftsman power tools.main reason I’m trying dewalt is because home depot is closer and they don’t carry craftsman in the varity



  38. Adam Kostan on September 27, 2022 at 3:09 am

    Nice rewiev



  39. frank1847 on September 27, 2022 at 3:09 am

    Subbed and thumbs up. Where did you buy the big yellow plastic set square?. That looks a handy thing on the bench and it STANDS out.



  40. Zach The Ripper on September 27, 2022 at 3:10 am

    I have the brushless saw and it is great. Makes it so much easier being cordless and not dragging around cords on a job.



  41. MrWombatty on September 27, 2022 at 3:11 am

    Was looking at buying a 331 that’s on special (new old-stock), but after seeing this I’ve decided to spend the extra coin on the 334!



  42. Eric Farmer on September 27, 2022 at 3:13 am

    Can these run off flexvolt batteries?



  43. Artur on September 27, 2022 at 3:13 am

    older one its really shit, used 5 month and now its broken



  44. Darren Smith on September 27, 2022 at 3:14 am

    "Reminds me of a sewing machine" you know the first jigsaw was made from a sewing machine!



  45. Elvis Putns on September 27, 2022 at 3:15 am

    My 5Ah battery lasts around 40 minutes in 331 cutting 4.4cm thick wood. All is great, but why isn’t the blower working at all no matter what position.? I mean there is nothing at all and it’s new.
