Tools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW331K 6.5 Amp Top Handle Jig-Saw

Customer Review: A great jigsaw!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really like this jigsaw! I've been using a Bosch jigsaw, and while it is a very good jigsaw I never really warmed up to it. When Dewalt brought out the DW331K I looked it over and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. First I like the quick, easy, no tool blade change. I far prefer the lever type system that Dewalt uses to the spinning knob system that Bosch uses. Every time I changed blades on the Bosch and the knob snapped when it locked the blade in it always felt like something had just broken. Also another feature that I'm really happy with is the dust blower on the Dewalt. It works! The dust blower on my Bosch has never worked well at all. I also like Dewalt tools because they appear to be of good quality, and sensibly built. I may keep the Bosch as a backup, but when it comes to a jigsaw the Dewalt DW331K is my weapon of choice.

Description of DEWALT DW331K 6.5 Amp Top Handle Jig-Saw

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, quality-made completely of metal. 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 the saw really does the work for you. 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. 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. 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.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Fast and Versatile with Variable Speed Control
The jigsaw's variable speed control allows you to make quick, accurate adjustments and utilize speeds ranging from 500 strokes per minute to 3,100 strokes per minute. This application-specific performance translates to improved control and cleaner results.

Adding to the saw's application-specific performance is a four-position orbital action for quicker, more aggressive cuts. The saw delivers a 1-inch stroke length, and its dependable 6.5 amp motor provides the power you need for tough applications. And when you're working with more delicate materials, a plastic, non-marring shoe cover protects soft or glossy materials from unwanted scratches.

In addition, the innovative DEWALT flush-cutting blade system allows you to complete flush cuts without up cutting. And positive bevel detents at 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees make it a cinch to accurately set the shoe and blade at commonly used angles.

Designed for Control and Durability
This easy-to-maneuver jigsaw weighs just 6.4 pounds, but that doesn't mean it compromises on dependability or comfort. An all-metal gear case provides the durability necessary in a professional shop environment, while a counterbalance mechanism reduces vibration and an extra-large rubber grip dampens it. This results in improved user comfort and reduced user fatigue, allowing you to work longer and produce work with precision.

The saw's integrated dust blower helps keep your work surface clear of unwanted debris, resulting in a safer work environment. It is designed to keep your line of sight clear for improved work piece visibility while you cut.

Save Time with Tool-Free Blade Changes
Whether you're working with a variety of specialty materials that require different blades or you're simply ready for a more aggressive cut, the DEWALT tool-free, lever-action blade clamps allow you to complete blade changes quickly and securely. The blade lever is constructed of metal for added durability.

In order to provide optimal holding power, the saw accepts only T-shank blades.

This variable speed top-handle jigsaw kit also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.
