DEWALT DCS334B
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Bosch JS470E is a professional-grade corded top-handle jigsaw featuring a powerful 7.0 A motor and high stroke rate for smooth curves. It offers precise control with variable speed and four orbital settings, though it lacks an integrated LED light. Best suited for finish carpenters and woodworkers needing precision in soft wood, aluminum, or mild steel.
The DEWALT DCS334B is a professional-grade cordless jigsaw featuring a brushless motor and high-speed performance ideal for contractors and woodworkers. Its main limitation is the insufficient dust blower performance and potential grip fatigue during extended use. It is particularly suited for DEWALT 20V system users needing reliable power for framing and cabinetry.
