The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the DeWalt DCS335B is the go-to barrel-grip cordless jigsaw for buyers who want maximum blade control. A high-trust r/Tools commenter who owns it calls it a favorite, describing more control than a D-grip and a feel 'more like a portable, movable bandsaw.' DeWalt-community threads reinforce that barrel grip is preferred by many experienced users and pros for finer scrolling work, and that not holding a trigger during long cuts is a plus. Home Depot retailer detail confirms variable-speed control up to 3,200 SPM via both trigger and dial.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust community user praises control 'like a portable bandsaw'

- Strong retailer rating (4.7 across 2,423 Amazon reviews) and brushless XR platform
Where it falls short
- Barrel grip is a preference, not a universal upgrade; not ideal for all users
- Sold as a bare tool with no battery
- Some reviewers worry about the lack of a conventional trigger position

The honest caveat throughout the discussion is that grip style is preference, not a clear upgrade. Several threads note occasional users worry the lack of a conventional trigger position won't suit them, and at least one YouTube review framed reasons not to buy it before ultimately landing positive. It shares the brushless XR strengths of the D-handle model, so the choice between them is mostly ergonomics.
The synthesis: a well-regarded barrel-grip option that experienced users praise for control, with the usual bare-tool battery caveat and a grip format that not everyone will prefer.
- Brushless motor delivers efficient performance for longer runtime (vs. DCS331 Jig Saw)
- Compact size for easy grip and maximum control
- Bright LED light helps to illuminate dimly lit work surfaces
- Variable speed dial provide precise speed control
- All-metal, lever-action keyless blade change allows for quick and easy t-shank blade changes
- Integrated dust blower helps clear line of sight while cutting
- All-metal, keyless shoe bevel with detents at 0°, 15°, 30°, and a positive stop at 45° for easy adjustment
- No-mar shoe cover to help protect work surface from scratches
I like what seems like greater control and maneuverability with the barrel handle but ss a not-daily jigsaw user I'm worried the lack of a trigger won't sit ...
Barrel grip is more versatile and easier to control for experienced, there's a reason it's preferred by pros.
