Best Cordless Jigsaws in 2027

A cordless jigsaw goes anywhere: up a ladder, onto a deck or into a room with no free outlet. The best ones run long enough to finish a project, stay light enough for one-handed and overhead cuts, and still cut quickly through wood and metal. Brushless motors, orbital settings, bevel range and which batteries the saw takes all matter. We put 23 cordless jigsaws on one spec sheet so you can compare them side by side.

DEWALT DCS334BDEWALT 20V MAX XR Jig Saw

Brushless DEWALT that sets the cordless standard

Top max strokes per minute

Weight
5.07 lb
Orbital settings
4 (best of the reviewed tools)
Warranty
—

The DEWALT DCS334B leads our Best Score at 70. Its brushless motor gives more runtime than DEWALT's older brushed DCS331, which matters on a cordless saw because every minute of cutting comes from the battery.

It has 4 orbital settings for clean curves or fast rough cuts, and a variable speed trigger and dial for precise control. The shoe bevels to 45 degrees, blade changes need no tools, and a bright LED lights the cut line in dim spaces. DEWALT describes it as compact for an easy grip.

It weighs 5.07 lb as listed. It is sold as tool only, so you need a DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger, and its stroke speed and length are not in our data. For anyone already on DEWALT batteries, it is the most proven cordless jigsaw on this page. Pair it with a larger battery for long cutting sessions.

Pros

  • Brushless for longer runtime
  • 4 orbital settings
  • LED light and 45° bevel

Cons

  • Battery sold separately
  • Stroke specs not listed
Buy it if
you already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries.
Skip it if
you need a kit with batteries in the box.

VerdictThe best cordless jigsaw here for DEWALT owners.

Second with a Best Score of 60, the DEMIMA JS-DW is designed to take DEWALT 20V batteries such as the DCB200, DCB203 and DCB206. You insert your own battery, which makes it a cheap way to add a jigsaw if you already own those packs.

DEMIMA rates its brushless motor at 800W and gives it 7 speed settings, switched by one button, up to a maximum of 3200 RPM. Low speeds handle fragile materials; high speeds cut faster. It has 3 orbital settings, a 45 degree bevel both ways, an LED light and tool-free blade changes.

Its listed weight of 1 lb is far below every other saw here, so treat that number with caution and check it with the seller. It is not a DEWALT product, and long-term durability is less proven than the brand-name saws.

Pros

  • Uses DEWALT 20V batteries
  • 800W brushless motor
  • 7 speed settings

Cons

  • Weight figure looks doubtful
  • 3 orbital settings
Buy it if
you own DEWALT 20V packs and want a low-cost jigsaw.
Skip it if
you want a brand-name saw with a proven record.

VerdictA budget way to put your DEWALT batteries to work, with a doubtful weight spec.

The CAMXTOOL cordless jig saw ranks third with a Best Score of 59. It is also built to fit DEWALT 20V Max lithium-ion batteries, with no battery included. It has 6 variable speeds, listed at 0 to 2800 RPM, and 4-position orbital action.

Its kit is the most practical part. A guide ruler helps you keep straight cuts on track, and it comes with 7 T-shank blades, so you can start cutting wood and metal right away. The shoe tilts up to 45 degrees left or right, and the tool-free blade release makes swaps fast. Starting with spare blades means you are not stuck when one dulls or snaps halfway through a job.

Weight is not listed in our data. An LED light helps in dim areas. It is a good alternative to the DEMIMA if you value 4 orbital settings and included accessories over a higher listed speed. Like the DEMIMA, it is not a DEWALT tool, so buy from a seller with a clear return policy.

Pros

  • 4 orbital settings
  • 7 blades and a guide ruler
  • Fits DEWALT 20V batteries

Cons

  • Weight not listed
  • Lower listed speed
Buy it if
you want a ready-to-cut kit for your DEWALT batteries.
Skip it if
you need maximum cutting speed.

VerdictA practical, well-accessorized saw for DEWALT battery owners.

The Greenworks JS24L00K completes our top five with a Best Score of 56. Its battery is listed at 96 Wh, the largest on this page, and Greenworks says its 24V battery gives 20% more power and 35% more runtime. The brushless motor adds torque and runs quietly.

It has a 1 in blade stroke, tied for the longest here, which helps it cut thicker materials. Speed reaches 3,000 strokes per minute through a variable speed trigger. Blade changes and bevel adjustment are both tool-free, and the shoe tilts to 45 degrees.

It has 3 orbital settings, a built-in LED light and comes with a vacuum adaptor plus a 6 TPI wood blade and an 18 TPI metal blade. Weight is not listed. Greenworks 24V batteries also run the brand's yard tools, which is handy for homeowners.

Pros

  • 96 Wh battery, the largest here
  • 1 in stroke length
  • Wood and metal blades included

Cons

  • 3 orbital settings
  • Weight not listed
Buy it if
you use Greenworks 24V tools or want long runtime.
Skip it if
you are committed to DEWALT or RYOBI batteries.

VerdictThe longest-running saw here, best for Greenworks households.

Best complete barrel-grip kit

Barrel-grip brushless kit with two big batteries

Weight
6.60 lb
Orbital settings
4 (best of the reviewed tools)
Warranty
3 years

Fourth with a Best Score of 59, the SOARFLY 20V jig saw is the most complete kit in our top five. It comes with two 4.0Ah batteries and a fast charger, listed at 80 Wh, so you can cut all day by swapping packs.

Its brushless motor runs cooler and, according to SOARFLY, gives up to 50% more runtime than a brushed saw. The barrel grip puts your hand directly over the blade with a low center of gravity, which helps the saw track a line on curves. It has 4 orbital settings and a tool-free 0 to 45 degree bevel.

At 6.6 lb it is heavier than the other saws listed here, partly because of the larger batteries. It carries a 3-year warranty, the only warranty in our top five. If you are not tied to a battery platform, it is a strong all-in-one choice.

Pros

  • Two 4.0Ah batteries included
  • Brushless motor
  • 3-year warranty

Cons

  • Heavier at 6.6 lb
  • Own battery platform
Buy it if
you want a complete cordless kit with no extras to buy.
Skip it if
you want the lightest saw possible.

VerdictThe best complete kit here, with a warranty to back it.

Buying guide

Pick your battery platform

A cordless jigsaw is cheapest when it shares batteries you already own. Several saws here fit DEWALT 20V packs, and others run on RYOBI ONE+ or Greenworks 24V. A kit with batteries costs more but needs nothing else.

Brushless for runtime

Brushless motors waste less power, so you get more cuts per charge and less heat. Most saws in our top five are brushless. Battery energy where listed ranges from 42 Wh to 96 Wh.

Orbital settings and speed

Orbital action speeds up wood cuts; zero orbit gives clean curves and metal cuts. Most saws here have 3 or 4 settings. Listed top speeds range from 2500 to 3500 SPM.

Weight for one-handed work

Cordless jigsaws are often used overhead or on a ladder. Weights here run up to 7.47 lb with batteries. Lighter saws are easier to control, but very low listed weights may exclude the battery.

FAQ

Is a cordless jigsaw as powerful as a corded one?

For most wood and sheet goods, yes, especially brushless models. Corded saws still keep full speed on long, heavy cuts. Cordless wins for portability and work away from outlets.

Can I use DEWALT batteries in other brands' jigsaws?

Some saws here, like the DEMIMA and CAMXTOOL models, are built to fit DEWALT 20V batteries. These are not DEWALT products, so check compatibility and warranty before buying.

How long does a cordless jigsaw battery last?

It depends on battery size and material. Larger batteries, like the 96 Wh Greenworks pack, run longest. Having a second battery is the easiest way to avoid stopping mid-project.

Do cordless jigsaws come with a battery?

Many do not. Tool-only saws like the DEWALT DCS334B need a separate battery and charger. Kits like the SOARFLY include two batteries and a charger.
