The verdictOur take

The DCS331 is DeWalt's older brushed 18V XR jigsaw, matching the brushless DCS334 on depth (135mm wood, 10mm steel) and stroke (26mm). It tops out at 3,000 spm, weighs 2.3kg bare against 2.1kg, and the manual gives much higher board-cutting vibration (10.5 against 5.2 m/s²). It also comes without the dust shroud and anti-splinter insert that the DCS334 includes.
