Today we are putting the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw up against the DEWALT 20-Volt MAX Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jigsaw
Both of these saws are top of the line wood eating machines, but only one can win, and you get to pick the winner.
The Dewalt model # is (DCS334B) and the Milwaukee model # is (2737-20) - บันเทิง
I use the Milwaukee almost every day in the shop and can vouch that it's a great saw. The variable speed trigger works perfectly, stops on a hair, it's easy to control and you can precisely cut along the edge of a pencil line. It does have one flaw which is the shoe lock lever comes loose really easily and will even vibrate open by itself. I had to wedge a small shim in the side to lock it shut... The is especially annoying considering how hard it is to get the batteries out. Some things too loose, some things too tight... I'm looking at the Dewalt and it looks great, nice and compact but theres a lot of shoe in front of the blade which blocks the view of the cut line. You never cut without looking at where the blade is on the cut line, so that looks like a bad design choice. The Milwaukee shoe is minimal in front of the blade so you can see what's going on easily.
I know that I am late to show here but if ya wanna know what I would to see changed or added...at least as a option is a more narrow shoe for certain occasions. For example cutting out a hole for kitchen sink.....the shoe is 2 wide to get close enough to the splash guard to make the necessary cut.....just thinking out loud.
I am a total milwaukee guy, but i love the more compact and longer run time of XR Dewalt on this one!
I got a Hitatchi brushless 18ga brad nailer while Milwaukee was recovering to make up for their gen 1 fail of a brad nailer.
I just bought the Gen2 15 ga brad nailer. I heard great things, so hopefully I'm not disappointed. I've been a dewalt guy, but was pretty unimpressed with their cordless nail guns.
I wish Milwaukee would have put the speed dial as well as the running lock on the d handle like the rigid octane model
As a carpenter and cabinet maker for decades, the most important thing on these saws is the shoe design.
Ok and... That's all you have to say? Thanks for your input I am sure it really helped people decide...
I'm in Both Milwaukee and dewalts line but the Milwaukee has more features then the dewalt and I spent alot of time researching both to find out what one I wanted and I ended up getting the Milwaukee d handle over the dewalt
Bro! Excellent review. I have the previous gen Dewalt jigsaw. No complaints. The new brushless motor is an improvement. The milwaukie has actual dust collection & seems to cut faster but I think precise cuts should be deliberate & slower movement's, so the RPM diff isn't an issue for me. I do like the blade change better on the new Dewalt & 2 L.E.D.'s. So for me, the Mikwaukie looks great but the Dewalt would be better.
Awesome comment and thanks Session!
The faster it moves, the smoother the cut is
super review i love both,at first i was a milwaukee fan boy and both owns dewalt & m18 brushless tools as well,what i will like to see is milwaukee tools drop a bit on their price range which never going to happen anyway since dewalt prices are very good also you get deal bargains on them
Thanks for the comment King!
Both look awesome. Can't go wrong. 😎
When back out of a cut with the Dewalt the blade release lever vibrates like crazy , even popping the blade out at times.
I bought both to decide which one I was gonna keep. Dewalt is smaller, has better weight distribution, and vibrates less so it feels better on your hand but the most important factor to consider is that Dewalt cuts cleaner and smoother even with a 2.0 Ah battery
Milwaukee went back to the store and I kept the Dewalt!
I think it's a win with either one of these saws. I love them both, but definitely comes down to feel and personal preference of the user. Thanks Neo!
I had a totally opposit experience. I went with Mil.
Any comment on the squareness of the cut? My current jig saw bald has some lateral play and I wind up with a 93ish degree cut vs 90.
Got both with the black Friday sale. I really like the blade release on the Dewalt and the I felt the Dewalt has less vibration and two LEDs make the cut line more clear. Ended up returned the Milwaukee.
Thank for the feedback pokeba!!!!
I am on the same boat as both are available with two batteries at $200 from HD. I personally like the look of Dewalt better.
TRZ you do a wonderful job of pointing out the differences between tools Appreciate it very much. Gun to my head, I'd go Dewalt but would not rule out a corded tool that will not break the bank
Thanks brother, I really appreciate that. I can understand what you mean about the corded thing though. Thanks for the comment buddy
Both saws look great. Really, you can’t go wrong with either. I also love the new Dewalt blade release lever. Best one, ever. I used the older DCS331 jigsaw for probably 6 years. I had two of them. When the DCS334 came out I sold my 331 and picked up the new one. Took me a while, I was so happy with my DCS331 that I didn’t think they could improve. I love the variable speed trigger on a jigsaw and I was afraid they took that away in favor of the speed dial. With the new DCS334, I get the best of both worlds! Speaking of the Milwaukee jigsaw, really nice saw. It has a faster blade stroke speed. Honestly I find I set my speed to “2” on the dewalt - maybe I just like a slower speed. But in your video that Milwaukee saw was smooth as silk! Fast and smooth, can’t go wrong with that combination, ever. I can’t see anyone regretting the purchase of either one of these. I chose Dewalt because I had so much success with its predecessor the DCS331, and I have a stockpile of their batteries.
No...I will not buy Milwaukee's jigsaw. I bought mine 3 years ago and I really wished I should have gotten Dewalt. Milwaukee's jigsaw is a little harder to cut and it does NOT cut accurate. If you're trying to change blades, sometimes I have to re-align the blades if I don't set it right. If not, the blades will fall off when you're cutting. So NO...I will not buy Milwaukee. BUY Dewalt. You will be glad.
Ironworker Doug here; I must admit both are beautiful saws , and I am looking to upgrade my craftsman corded, I’ve had for 30 years . What do you do,? Flip a coin 🪙, wait for one to go on sale first! I got it show a picture of both of them to my wife and say this is what I want for Christmas . I bet it will be the DeWalt!!! 😂
Pretty much everything you've said in this video you can find on the box or the website
I went with the Milwaukee simply because I already have an M18 impact drill and have the M18 hedge timmer and string trimmer on the way. I'm in the process of replacing all my power tools with the M18s. I don't need yet another charger and battery system. The Milwaukee seems to cut faster and I like the open face better so I can see the blade cutting.
thanks, yes it looks like the motors weight and center of gravity closer to the blade. just pulled the trigger at acme tools, two fives,charger and saw for 200
I've used both. A different feel but both are very capable. I chose the Milwaukee battery platform and have been very happy. Almost ditched all my corded tools.
Thanks for the feedback Luna!!!
Me too. My boss went and bought a corded bosch saw when one of our circular saws went down and my milwaukee circular saw destroyed it it cutting power. Cordless is the future.
As for jigsaws i have the dewalt jig but im looking to upgrade to the milwaukee
Looking to replace an old B & D corded jig saw, it still cuts but is primitive. I'm leaning towards the Milwaukee it's a few bucks more but it does have dust collection.
I own the milwaukee, it's a beast! Spent all day cutting trespa tops in and never missed a beat.
I love that saw
Both great tools, I own Milwaukee and love it, but use dewalt at work because that's what is supplied to us. The dewalt line is amazing though, we use it daily and we are not light on them, they stand up to the abuse.
People are complaining about it being 20$ more but it comes with a dust collector. That shits not free. Milwaukee takes this one.
And we wonder why all these Power tools are being made in China these days. $20.00 Big Flipping deal! We get cheaper tools tho. They look the same. They just don't last the same.
Most of my new tools switching to Brushless from corded, are Milwaukee. But the Dewalt has the ergonomics. I'm going to get the Dewalt. thanks.
Good review. Thanks.
I have the Dewalt, although I wish I would have gotten the "Barrel handle" instead of the "D handle ", needless to say I will eventually own both "D handle " and "Barrel handle ". Lol
I have the Milwaukee it’s a Beast! It feels corded but a little big
Great video and out of the two platforms i think dewalt has this one. i would go for light weight when it come to cordless and the blade release looks legit.
I love that blade release! Super easy and fast. Thanks for the vote bro!
The Milwaukee is lighter....kinda contradicts your vote...
Justin Church I’ll have to watch again maybe I misheard. Thanks for pointing it out
I bought the Milwaukee about a month ago and it's a beast. I've tried them both. Team red all the way.
Thanks for the comment Dj!
The chip out on those two cuts at the end was an insane amount, how is this compared to a corded?
The chip out on both saws is on the underside of the cut. It's totally smooth on the side of the plywood that shows.
I'm invested in the Milwaukee line, but I'd give it to dewalt. I enjoy the smaller size, variable speed adjustment and the metal blade release.
Thanks for the vote Spencer!
I use to be a Milwaukee fan but lately I am turning into the Dewalt stuff. Actually right now I'm looking for one of these and I tried it both of them and I like it Dewalt better because of the handle it's more comfortable and you have more control in your hand. Recently I got for my self the other jigsaw style of Milwaukee and do not really like it so that's why I'm looking for a D handle one.
What kind of work do people usually need a jigsaw for? I am curious because I've never needed one.
Both great tools only thing I would like for to change is the price $
Looking at the way they both cut i think im going to get the milwakee looked like it cut easier ill pay the extra $20 but dewalt is a great tool ass we'll.
The Dewalt feels like it is more likely you will accidentally release the blade. I also have never thought I needed an adjustment for the speed on my jigsaws I have used. So one is a negative and one is just not useful, IMO. The Milwaukee is lacking what I would consider a very important feature, which is the markings for the shoe angle. I feel like the Milwaukee is better overall, but the missing markings for the shoe angle are a pretty big deal.
I am neither a Dewalt nor a Milwaukee fanboy, but I do have mostly Dewalt tools, but I have just bought some Milwaukee tools and will have 3 batteries, so both companies are on my list now.
My 1997 Bosch corded jigsaw still cuts straight and clean. I need Dewalt to add dust collection for me to buy theirs.
Milwaukee. Have many of their tools in both 12 and 18 and they just don't quit.
I want to see a review of the ridgid nxt 16gallon wet dry vacuum
I'll have it up next buddy. Its really powerful
@@ToolReviewZone I was thinking of getting the ridgid nxt 16gallon wet dry vacuum over the old version and do you think the ridgid nxt 16gallon wet dry vacuum is worth buying or not
Yeah bri, I am really impressed with the power of it. Excellent job on the vac
I would chose DeWALT because im into their line of tools!
A painter can paint with a mop... :-)
Great review. I sold my soul to Milwaukee many years ago, so I bleed red... Literally and figuratively. However, on this particular tool, I actually like the Dewalt better, based on the reviews I've seen and read. But since I've already got a bunch of M18 batteries and chargers, I'm gonna stick with red. I think that is how these companies want it to go, right?
Milwaukee recently dropped a new M18 jigsaw. The 2737B-20 which has a barrel grip and speed adjustment. I wonder how it fares to DeWALT's offering?
I hadn't seen that model, thanks!
The trigger does not lock (on ) on my brushless , i feel it is meant to do that for big cutting jobs
My dewalt brushless
Bosch Invented the T shank Blades we all love over 25 years ago (the patent is now run out) Dewalt and Milwaukee started using them as soon as it did. Bosch invented the dust blower that keeps your line clear as well, they invented the toolless blade change also and theirs always had a 9 ft cord so it wouldn't unplug itself ripping 8ft sheets. Bosch dominated the 110 volt jigsaw market with theirs for 25 years. Ask any old carpenter. Bosch is the one you need to beat. I however like the Makita for a low priced alternative. Makita always paid Bosch a patent fee and used T shank blades on many of their better quality jigsaws for decades. I just bought my 18 volt Makita for 119.00 bare tool I already have 18 volt Makita batteries/charger though. I am sure if you have dewalt stuff already their saw is fine . If you have Milwaukee already their saw is fine too. If You have neither and you just want the best jigsaw, your looking for a Bosch. Each Company has a couple tools that are their best , In Jigsaws ,Rotary Hammers,Jackhammers,metal shears, Its just about impossible to beat Bosch.
This man gets it! Bosch jigsaw is the benchmark for which all others should be judged.
One more thing, I have actually used both, the Dewalt cuts better and smoother and doesn't chip like the Milwaukee, and it feels more powerful as well.
That’s just not true
That's complete BS.
@@giovanysantiago5892 that is my opinion, and you have yours. Loo
I wish Milwaukee had the variable speed knob. Thats a deal breaker for me. I'm sticking with my corded jigsaw just because of that.
I have and use both, but the Milwaukee is my top pick
I've bought the dewalt, I had a milwaukee drill in the past but the batteries only lasted a couple of years so I replaced it with a dewalt drill and 5 years plus later they are still good, so I've bought an impact, jigsaw and work light from dewalt. Oh and in Europe they jigsaw comes with an attachment for a vacuum.
I’m in a line of every brand. And i’ll take Dewalt jig saw all day any day.
RedLife! Nah just playing I have Dewalt & Milwaukee soon to cop a Hilti bc AvE said so!? lol I have absolutely no problem buying into multiple systems especially with batteries coming for cheap in kits &/or generic batteries for dirt!.i mean how many batteries do you need if your responsible with battery charging? 5x Milwaukee 4x Dewalt both rapid chargers DeWalt being double rapid charge. I'm good! my miter is 12" Flexvolt sliding, my drills are Milwaukee other tools are asorted between the two. If DeWalt makes a better saw i buy, if Milwaukee makes a better drill I buy! The world ain't black & white!? Dont descriminate colors brah y'all prejudice man chill 😃 Nice breakdown vid brother! Subbed 😉
Thanks for the comment LG, CD welcome to the team bro!
Hyped to be here! 😃
I purchased the DeWalt, mostly because I already have quite a few batteries. It came down to whether the dust collection on the Milwaukee was worth the cost to invest in yet another battery brand. Cheapness won the day! 😂
Would like to see Bosch with one
I'll see what I can do buddy
Excellent TRZ 👍
Thanks EJM!
Very good video , I love Milwaukee. I wouldn't change anything,I think they're both great,tools I like Milwaukee's Guarantees the best, And just overall quality thank you.🧰🚘⚡👍
I would have to flip a coin but I like the lower cost and lower profile of the DeWalt.
Great review thanks. I'm torn between milwaukee M18, makita LXT and dewalt XLR 18v/20v platforms. I'm 40 so these are likely the last tools I'll ever buy and want them to be the best.
Check out the barrel grip review I just did Eric. Some seem to like that much more. My opinion though, I like the Milwaukee the most
@@ToolReviewZone Thanks, I'll check it out now. They're all pretty compelling but I'm definitely leaning towards M18.
He had a good Milwaukee combo last week so I jumped on that. Thanks guys!
My tool kit is based of the best brand for the job, for example a fein multitool, even though its on a different battery platform, these are two of the best cordless jigsaws out there, I'd like to see better blade guidance like on the festool's and bosch, bosch had an automatic one that perfect clamps the blade for 90° cuts ect. And the dewalt should have dust collection its 2019 ffs
I’m a dewalt guy strictly from the fact Milwaukee isn’t sold much in my neck of the woods. I love both brands. Milwaukee seems to usually have the power but I think Dewalt always beats them on ergonomics. I personally want the barrel grip dewalt. Both are fantastic
Milwaukee. Do like the metal blade change though on the DeWalt, but it’s not a seller.
I know it should not make a difference, but I like the Dewalt because of the color. I just love that yellow. It's like I can be looking in the opposite direction and still see it.
This is the brand new Dewalt so it's not surprising it's got the edge-they've been working to improve the odd last gen model.
Also, people should wise up and stop buying from big box stores who MUST adhere to MAP Policies (minimum advertised price) and they are making MASSIVE profits off everyone buying there. Find yourself a reputable brick and mortar who doesn't play the stupid games and you will be shocked at the pricing differences. Dewalt DCF887 from Homeless Despot is $130-I get it for $90 from a normal store, and prices follow suit for almost everything that isn't brand new.
To your duel/shootout how about the Hilti and Festool. I see Festool as fro cabinet makers the DeWalt and Milwaukee are for carpenters and the Bosch, Makita, Hilti and Milwaukee are flor the finish carpenters as we use them weekly no matter nice test bud!
Cant comment on the Mwky. I have just bought the Dwt. Its probably the best cordless tool I have. Heavier than expected.
most of my gear is Makita
Both are great saws but I would have to go Milwaukee
Mikwaukee it is
wich is the most powerfull?
I got the Dewalt. I’ve got 4 other Dewalts so the keeping in the battery line just makes sense for me. I’d love to see a lock on switch for longer cuts. But I have a corded one that has that if I need it. 😎
Dewalt is my choice 😊
I think the price for either one is a bit high. I am leaning towards DeWalt only because it's cheaper. I have both batteries but price is definitely point on concern.
Yeah, definitely some higher end saws here Arek
I already have the M18 battey platform so I would stay with the Milwaukee
Hey my brother I'm good with either one lol Yeaaaaaaaa Boyyyyyyyyy,Very nice video to I love it to have a good day later :)
Haha agreed buddy!
Waiting for the barrel grip on both brands
They are releasing the barrel grip for Milwaukee very, very soon Charlie
Milwaukee barrel jigsaw is already for sale at home depot: www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Barrel-Grip-Jig-Saw-Tool-Only-2737B-20/306705444
The bevel on the dewalt looks a bit flimsy
I’ve had too many fuels break on the job. They work great until they don’t work at all.
Love the Milwaukee.
it would be nicer if they made the jigsaws smaller or lower to the workpiece, saying hat I prefer the barrel grip.
I would like to have seen dust collection on the DeWALT. I do like the lower center of gravity
Yeah I'm kind of surprised they didn't add that Ryan. That being said, the blower does work well
The dust collection is supposed to be comming out within the next yr ..they have one but its just not in the usa yet
Thanks for the heads up Brandon!
I like the Milwaukee better. The bigger shoe for me is a plus. It also sounds like the Milwaukee has more power and cuts smoother.
Already in the DeWalt platform so I'll stick with the DeWalt.
Milwaukee M18 fuel vs dewalt 20v XR brushless vs 20V XR brushed- look faced with D-hand jigsaw
I would like to have on the Milwaukee a pre selected speed dial. NOT on the trigger
Thanks god bless
Just do a dragon ball z fusion of them together and I'll be happy!
Lol I'll see what I can do
Just bought the dewalt. Comes with dust collection in the UK. Great tool
Wish I had the dust collection
dewalt to change to a straight foot protection, so I can use a triangle or what ever as a guide.
This years black friday sales I got the milwaukee jigsaw, two 4 hour batteries, a charger, and a bag to carry it in. I got it all for $199
Awesome 👊
I did same deal at lowes yesterday and got the trim router free
Plus and minus to both. Probably matters more what color of batteries/chargers you already have in your garage. :)
Ether you get you won't be disappointed.
Dewalt has the best , easiest blade changing mechanism and alot of power
Black and Yellow Black and Yellow
Haha thanks Andrice
Milwaukee all the way.
Thanks Nate!
Milwaukee 5 stars
Just the name... You get wht you need with de walt.
Dewalt all the way
Its a precision cutting machine I have it and its a beast but very smooth and accurate. I have co workers that own Milwaukee and prefer my dewalt, enough said.
Great comment
Milwaukee.
Dewalt
I went with Dewalt because it is easier to type!
🤣
I've got a ton of both dewalt and Milwaukee tools and while I like the variety and features of the Milwaukee tools, the dewalts have held up better. So far, I've had two Milwaukee batteries die, a Milwaukee vacuum die, an m12 hackzqll and m12 drill freeze up and require dousing the moving parts in wd40 to get them running again and my m18 surge driver occasionally decides it's not going to switch directions until I remove the battery and reinsert it. With my dewalt tools I've only had one battery fail and nothing else.
Reliability wise, I've actually had better luck with ryobi than with Milwaukee. I've burnt out one ryobi drill and one inflator and I was using that inflator to fill high pressure truck tires repeatedly as I had a slow leak, so every week I'd hook it up and pump the tire up to 80 psi.
Dewalt!!!! No to red china!!!! But all honesty both good tools
Thanks for the comment Kanani!
It would be nice if the review actually showed you using them
Im a red guy, but the jigsaw and the oscillating tool by dewalt I like better, because of the grip and the compact design. Milwaukee in both tools seem bulky and have a huge grip.... unfortunately it’s not enough for me to start another eco-system of batteries ...
Dewalt all day! (of course I am bias)
