- This is an unpaid review of the Dewalt cordless D Handle and Barrel Grip XR Jigsaws.
20V D Handle Jigsaw Model DCS334B
20V Barrel Grip Jigsaw Model DCS335B
Both 20V MAX* XR® Cordless Jig Saws features an efficient motor for powerful performance and extreme runtime. Precisely control blade speed up to 3,200 spm with variable speed, for professional results no matter what you're cutting. 4-position orbital action lets you adjust for optimal cutting of a variety of materials. A bright LED light illuminates dim work surfaces and makes it easy to follow cut lines. The updated all-metal, lever-action keyless blade clamp is designed for quick and easy blade changes of t-shank jig saw blades. Also keyless, the shoe bevel is easy to adjust with detents at 0°, 15°, 30°, and a positive stop at 45°. A removable shoe cover helps protect materials from scratches, and an integrated dust blower helps remove dust and debris from your line of sight as you cut.
Each saw is better at different tasks, and is made with different cutting in mind.

Excellent comparison- thank you. Variable speed trigger sold me between the two. I like the idea of letting go and having the tool STOP.
Excellent comparison, first review that I have seen that actually discusses the pros and cons of each type of grip, Thank You.
Thanks for the feedback glad you enjoyed it
BLESSED BE THE BARREL GRIP
I got the D handle version myself and love it quite a bit, but this video's been highly informative anyway! Thanks!
Thank you I appreciate that! Glad you’re enjoying your saw.
Thank you for the review.
D handle for me all the time
Best advise I can give any carpenter/ joiner or good trades man is to have both! I'm 36 years at this now and started in 1988 at the age of 14! This job gets more and more satisfying the older I get ! Thank you dewalt and thank you God. All the best. C
Well put Chris! I always say start with one and when work allows get both.
@@ToolsThatBuild what baterys do you use ? I'm 54v 6amp all the way at mo and being put off from the 12amps with people I know saying there unreliable? Ty again
@@inventions47 hey I only use the 54v big sizes for the larger tools like table saw etc. anything smaller like jigsaws i stick with the 18v 5ah and now the new power stack. The added weight for smaller tools isn’t worth the extra run time for me. I would rather just swap batteries on the fast charger and save my wrist.
Thanks for the informative video! I've never used a barrel grip jigsaw and this video gave me all the info I needed to make my decision and stick with the D handle jigsaw
Thank you for this great video!
Hope it helps
I have both and use them both
Thx. Im a lefty. Glad i bought the D. -U10
Unless your pinky is really strong
Being left handed is something I have not thought of. I’m a lefty as well. Getting tips like this is why I value so much the videos & the constructive comments! Thanks!
I like the d handle better because of the variable speed trigger
Thanks for sharing!
Hope it helps!
I have both they both have there place!
Absolutely
На 335 колесо регулятора оборотов находится прямо под пальцем,его можно переключить даже не заметив этого,а ещё нет кнопки как на334(хотя это спорно,ибо можно так на дальние расстояния пилить)
Fantastic video, straight to the point, informative and not begging for sub. You're a blessing.
Thanks really appreciate it
Nice
Im amazed you haven't accidentally cut in to your Kreg Project Center work table. I bought three of them and attached them lengthwise. PS These Dewalt jigsaws saws are so good, no harm in owning both 👍🤣
I may have. A few little cuts in the tables.. sometimes they sneak up on you.
I have the Dewalt Barrel grip and I like how it cuts, but I really hate the on/off switch as its difficult to switch it.
Agreed it’s a great saw super comfortable but I wish the switch was a little more accessible
Thanks, good info. I've never used a barrel grip. I like the idea of more accurate, tighter turns. Too bad dewalt didn't make the barrel grip with a variable speed trigger. That's enough to make me get the D handle.
No problem, no one that I know of makes variable speed switched barrel grip unfortunately. You won’t be disappointed with the D handle.
It already has a speed dial that you can easily turn with your pinky. Why have two different ways to change speed? Most tools with variable speed triggers don't have dials and vice versa.
@@TheCharleseye Because variable speed triggers are clearly indefinitely more user friendly than stupid speed dial? It always makes me cringe to see people making excuses for the manufacturers. The fealty is real lol
@@bopang466 Thanks for presenting your subjective opinion as an objective fact, and then making unfounded accusations. I definitely don't think you're a 15-year-old troll, now...
@@TheCharleseye ‘Why have two different ways to change speed?’ Sounds truly objective
the lever on the side is not blade angle. it’s 3 oscillating modes. 1 being the lowest movement and 3rd hash at the top being the highest. makes for much faster cuts. but they are rougher cuts
Awesome video. I’ve been considering a jig saw as my next tool purchase. Owning other Dewalt 20v tools has drawn me to one of these saws. Regarding the variable speed trigger on the barrel grip-please give me some situations when this can come in handy. Thx!
Hey thank you, the variable speed trigger is helpful when you need to slow the blade down mid cut. If your making an intricate cut or your cutting a harder material like metal both times you’ll need to slow down the blade. Both jigsaws can be slowed but the barrel grip needs to be pulled back and slowed down on the detent settings where the D handle trigger can just be squeezed a little lighter.
Hi, the black handle you push(2.50) I am finding it very stiff it will not go go forward at all, did you have the same issue at the start?
Hey, no neither saw had that issue. I would check to make sure either your plate isn’t locked so the handle has been jammed back or there is debris blocking it from moving forward. Take a close look at it if everything seems to be clean and locked you may have a lemon and I would warranty it through Dewalt or exchange it for another one if it’s fairly new. I’m guessing the plate is jammed so the handle is stiff though. Wiggle the plate and blow it out with some air to see if that frees it up.
Greetings. Does this jigsaw have a sawdust blowing option?
I bought the barrel grip and I love it. Had a couple d handle ones of other brands and I never really liked the feel. Barrel handle makes me feel a lot more in control of what’s going on when I’m making really precise cuts. Would never go back to a d handle
Ya absolutely the ergonomics make the barrel grip pretty comfortable. I know lots of guys who say they will never go back to d handle but really both have pros and cons.
Hi Connor, do you miss the variable speed trigger at all with the barrel grip? I've always had a D-handle type and just wonder if I will ever need it. I never need a variable trigger for my router lol - maybe this would be similar.
@@robertbernard3828 Ive always used a d Handle with a variable trigger before i got this and it was a life changer. I get cuts done faster and cleaner with this jigsaw. I dont think you will miss the variable speed trigger one bit
@@connorhauss6044 thanks so much Connor! I will take your advice.
@@robertbernard3828 wondering the same thing
Definitely D handle the one to go for
They both have their place but I find I grab the d handle more for sure
Correct, and more safe too. Just imagine if you need to cut something in awkward location and you dropped new style jigsaw. It won’t stop by itself and will generate a lot of damage around. Im in the kitchen business and my colleague bought one and now he regrets it so much!
It is defo AVOID one!!!
@@yevgeniyshawyer2767 good point on the safety!
Very good review, however, could you tell me which of the two saws is more powerful? Thanks in advance
Hey thank you, same motor same specs. Neither is more powerful than the other.
@@ToolsThatBuild I really appreciate your fast response which helps me a lot yo decide which one to buy. Best regards
you forgot to mention scribing , probably easier so you can cut upside down . Have you tried with a 2 oh battery? how long do you think it would last before it cuts out of power?
Yeah scribing or coping or anything with quick short direction changes and going upside down the barrel grip is the one to get. Runtime depends on what your cutting and how much force your putting behind the saw. I haven’t measured it just constantly running but those tests usually don’t reflect real world use anyway. I can say both saws run about the same amount of time and are a large improvement over the previous model.
I want to buy the barrel grip but your suggestion to check these out in the store is a non-starter since I have found no store that carries the barrel grip.
Ya it definitely seems to vary by location. You could buy both try them and return whichever one you don’t prefer.
Nice. Having a cord hang up while scroll cutting can destroy a piece of wood, besides being a huge hassle.
Absolutely if ever there was a tool that benefited from being cordless this is it.
i have the barrel grip i think it easy to control
Yeah I like mine, I have no issues controlling it but comparatively the on switch can be a pain. It’s a tighter cut than the barrel grip. They both have their upsides really.
Dewalt 335 best
I can't hear you. :/
I think maybe it’s something on your end. Audio seems to be fine and no one else has said that.
I just used it to cut a few pieces of plywood boards ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS works great. The blade that came with it isn't very good and I bought a much better bosch one which made much cleaner cuts. Blades were cheap, a few bucks.
Glad it’s working out. Ya the included blades are usually general purpose and not a premium blade.
