DeWalt DCS331 20V Jigsaw Productivity Features
Productivity is increased by things like the all-metal lever-action keyless blade change that allows users to make quick and easy blade changes. For further versatility, the DeWalt DCS331 is equipped with variable speed control ranging from 0-3,000 strokes per minute (SPM). This speed range gives the user more control over the cut, and allows the jigsaw to handle a variety of materials and applications. To achieve better runtime, this jigsaw comes equipped with a 3.0 Ah battery that has LED fuel gauge indicator lights.
“We know that contractors are looking for a jigsaw that offers accuracy and versatility to tackle a variety of cuts in different materials. Our new unit offers several features designed to address these needs specifically, and we are confident that contractors will recognize the benefits.”
Sean Templeton, DeWalt Product Manager
The DeWalt DCS331 is designed to accept T-shank style jigsaw blades.

The four-position orbital action provides control of cut quality and cut speed. In order to ensure a precise cut, there is an adjustable blower to keep the line of cut clear of chips and debris. Also, black rubber overmold grip areas provides comfort and control.
