The 10 Best Cordless Jigsaws
Battery-powered jigsaws ranked from live Amazon data — best-sellers, real ratings, honest trade-offs.
Ranked by ToolboxTop10 from Amazon data captured Nov 11, 2026. Rankings and prices are updated several times a week and can change as new data comes in. How we rank
A jigsaw is the tool for curves, cutouts, and plunge cuts a circular saw can't make, and a cordless one goes wherever the cut needs to happen. Most of the best-sellers here ship as a bare tool with no battery, so check whether a pick is tool-only or a ready-to-use kit, and which battery platform it rides. Blade speed, orbital action, and bevel range vary more than you'd expect across brands — the buyer's guide below breaks down what each one actually changes about your cut.
Seesii 2x2.0Ah KitA starter kit with two batteries and 9 blades, if you don't own a platform yet.
WOODSTARTER 18V BrushlessOccasional DIY cuts in plywood and boards when you don't own a battery platform.
DEWALT DCS331BDEWALT 20V MAX owners who want a proven jigsaw for occasional cuts.
CRAFTSMAN CMCS600BCRAFTSMAN V20 owners who want a cheap bare jigsaw that takes T or U blades.
WOODERS BLJS120First-time buyers who want a complete brushless kit for under $50.
Already own batteries?
Batteries only fit their own brand's platform, so the best tool for you is often the best
one that runs on the packs you already have. Here's our top-ranked pick on each platform on this page.
A tool-only model skips the cost of a battery and charger you don't need.
Tools sold as "compatible with" another brand's batteries aren't listed here. They're made by third parties, and the battery brand doesn't warrant them.
Where the deals are
The tools ranked here come from DEWALT, Makita, BLACK+DECKER, CRAFTSMAN, Seesii, WOODSTARTER, and WOODERS. Prices on these brands move week to
week on Amazon, and the deepest cuts usually land around Prime Day and Black Friday.
Every price button on this page opens the live listing, so you always see today's
number, not the one we captured on 2026-11-11. If your pick is over budget
right now, check back in a few days — DEWALT and Makita rotate through sales and bundle
deals often.
The most-reviewed, highest-rated cordless jigsaw on Amazon, carrying an actual 'Overall Pick' badge on the listing — a brushless XR motor at 3,200 SPM, all-metal keyless blade and bevel adjustments, and a dust blower to keep the cut line clear. Bare tool, so budget for a 20V MAX battery.
Best for: DEWALT 20V MAX owners who want the best all-round jigsaw.
Skip it if: You don't own DEWALT batteries and want one box with everything.

Has: a brushless motor, an LED work light, a dust blower. Missing: a complete kit (everything you need in the box).
The barrel-grip version of DEWALT's brushless jigsaw, built for one-handed control on detail and curve cuts. Same 3,200 SPM brushless motor and keyless blade/bevel adjustments as the DCS334B, in a grip style some users prefer for finer work.
Best for: Detail and curve work where you want one-handed, low-grip control.
Skip it if: You make long, hard-pushing cuts; a top-handle grip gives more leverage.

The Makita pick — a brushless 18V LXT jigsaw with a soft no-load start that ramps the blade up gradually for a cleaner starting cut, plus three orbital settings and a straight-cut mode. Bare tool on the LXT platform.
Best for: Makita 18V LXT owners who want clean starts on finish cuts.

The most-reviewed complete kit in this category by a wide margin — a jig saw, blade, POWERCONNECT battery, and charger for $81. Not the fastest or most powerful jigsaw here, but no other kit has as long a review record.
Best for: A first jigsaw with battery and charger included at under $90.
Skip it if: You cut thick hardwood often; it tops out at 2,500 strokes per minute.

The ready-to-cut version of the CMCS600B — same 2,500 SPM motor and 3 orbital settings, with a V20 battery and charger in the box. Priced like a premium kit, but it's the only CRAFTSMAN jigsaw here you can use straight out of the package.
Best for: Starting on CRAFTSMAN V20 and wanting to cut on day one.
Skip it if: You already own V20 batteries; the bare CMCS600B is about $56 less.

DEWALT's original 20V MAX jigsaw and still one of the best-reviewed on Amazon — a motor with variable speed to 3,000 SPM, an all-metal keyless blade clamp, and a keyless bevel shoe. A dependable, no-surprises pick for anyone already on 20V MAX batteries.
Best for: DEWALT 20V MAX owners who want a proven jigsaw for occasional cuts.

How we rank
Every tool gets one score from 0 to 100, weighted
45% on its star rating,
35% on how many people have reviewed it (more reviews = more
confidence the rating is real), and 20% on the features that
matter for the job. The list is ordered by that score. Best Overall is the top-scoring
pick with at least 4.0 stars and 30 reviews (a ready-to-use kit wins a close call);
Best Budget is the top score at or under $90 that costs less than
Best Overall; and Money No Object is the one to buy if price is no object.
The features score is built from a complete kit (30%), a brushless motor (30%), an LED work light (20%), a dust blower (20%), capped at 100. The review-count score is on a log scale, so each tenfold jump in reviews adds the same amount, and 200 or more reviews gets full marks. A listing under two years old with at least 30 reviews has its count scaled up for the shorter time it has had to collect them, never more than double.

Buyer's guide
Bare tool or kit?
A bare tool ships with no battery or charger — worth it if you already own the brand's batteries, a dead end if you don't. A kit includes a battery and charger and sometimes blades, ready to cut out of the box. Each pick above says which.
What does orbital action actually do?
Orbital action moves the blade slightly forward on the upstroke in addition to up-and-down, which speeds up cutting in soft materials like wood at the cost of a rougher edge. Dial it down (or off) for clean cuts in metal, plastic, or finished surfaces, and up for fast, aggressive cuts in framing lumber.
How many strokes per minute (SPM) do I need?
Most cordless jigsaws run 2,500-3,200 SPM at full speed, which covers wood, plastic, and thin metal. Variable-speed triggers let you slow down for tight curves or delicate materials, so the max number matters less than having good low-end control.
Brushless or brushed?
Brushless motors run cooler, last longer, and hold speed better under load — worth it if you'll use the saw often or push it through thick material. For occasional cuts around the house, a brushed tool like the CRAFTSMAN or BLACK+DECKER picks is fine.
Which battery platform should I buy into?
Buy on the same platform as tools you already own (DEWALT 20V MAX, Milwaukee M18, Makita 18V LXT, CRAFTSMAN V20) so one battery lineup covers everything. If you own nothing yet, a self-contained kit like the BLACK+DECKER, SEESII, or WOODERS avoids the platform lock-in.
T-shank or U-shank blades?
T-shank is the modern standard and what most tool-free blade clamps are designed around — it's what you'll find on hardware store shelves. A saw that accepts both T and U shank blades, like the CRAFTSMAN picks, gives you more flexibility if you're using older or off-brand blades.
Tools to avoid
Not everything in the search results deserves your money.
This one would rank dead last on our scale — here's the listing to walk past, and exactly why.
✕ Avoid
CAMXTOOL
CAMXTOOL Cordless Jig Saw Compatible with Dewalt 20V Max Battery (No Battery), Brushless, LED Light
4.2105 reviews$43.99
An unbranded DEWALT-battery clone whose own listing can't agree on how it works. The CRAFTSMAN CMCS600B and DEWALT DCS334B on this page come with listings that agree with themselves, and the BLACK+DECKER BDCJS20C kit includes its battery and charger.
Why we'd skip it
The title says '3 Orbital Settings'; the bullet points say '4-position orbital action.' One of them is wrong, and the listing doesn't say which.
The title gives the bevel as '0°- 45°', while the bullets say the shoe tilts 45° left or right. Those are different saws.
Speed is listed as '0-2800RPM'. Jigsaws are rated in strokes per minute, and this listing never gives one, so it can't be compared with the 3,200 SPM DEWALT DCS334B on this page.
It's a third-party body made to fit DEWALT 20V batteries. DEWALT doesn't make or warrant it.
