The DeWalt DCS335 and DCS367 are not two versions of the same saw. The DCS335B is a 20V MAX XR brushless barrel-grip jigsaw for curves, sink cutouts, and plunge lines. The DCS367B is a compact 20V MAX XR reciprocating saw for demo, prune, and nails-in-wood between studs. Both Amazon listings are tool-only.
Short answer: Buy the DCS335B if the cut is a curve, cutout, or scored plunge on sheet goods. Buy the DCS367B if the job is studs, PVC, prune, or nails-in-wood where a recip blade belongs. Both need DeWalt 20V MAX packs you already own — neither includes a battery.
DeWalt DCS335 vs DCS367 at a glance
| DeWalt DCS335B | DeWalt DCS367B | |
|---|---|---|
| Tool type | Barrel-grip jigsaw | Compact reciprocating saw |
| Best for | Curves, sink cutouts, plunge lines, plywood scrolls | Studs, PVC, prune, nails-in-wood, demo in tight spots |
| Motor / platform | Brushless, DeWalt 20V MAX XR | Brushless, DeWalt 20V MAX XR |
| Speed (DeWalt) | Variable-speed trigger and dial up to 3,200 SPM; 4-position orbital action | Variable-speed trigger up to 2,900 SPM |
| Cut geometry | T-shank blade; keyless shoe bevel 0° / 15° / 30° detents + 45° stop | 1-1/8-inch stroke; keyless 4-position blade clamp |
| Size / weight (DeWalt) | Barrel-grip body for a lower sight line | 14.5-inch compact body; 5 lb tool only |
| Amazon listing | Bare tool: DCS335 jigsaw + one blade; battery and charger sold separately | Bare tool: DCS367 recip; battery and charger sold separately |

The real difference: jigsaw blade vs recip blade
The DCS335 hangs a T-shank jigsaw blade in a barrel-grip body and tracks a line. DeWalt rates a variable-speed trigger and dial up to 3,200 SPM, 4-position orbital action, an all-metal keyless T-shank clamp, a keyless bevel shoe with 0° / 15° / 30° detents and a 45° stop, LED, and an integrated dust blower. That is the curve-and-cutout job: sink openings, plywood scrolls, and plunge cutouts where a circular shoe and a recip blade do not belong.
The DCS367 hangs a reciprocating blade and pushes it through the work. DeWalt rates a 1-1/8-inch stroke and a variable-speed trigger up to 2,900 SPM, in a 14.5-inch, 5 lb tool-only body meant to fit between studs and other tight spots. That is the Sawzall-class job: demo, prune, PVC, and nails-in-wood.
Do not choose by the larger SPM number. 3,200 SPM is not a faster recip, and 2,900 SPM is not a better jigsaw. Blade geometry and the workpiece decide this comparison. Our jigsaw and reciprocating-saw guides both say the same thing: these aisles are adjacent, not substitutes.
Both are tool-only — packs are the shared cost
The Amazon links here compare a DCS335B bare tool against a DCS367B bare tool, so this is a bare-tool-to-bare-tool comparison, not kit against bare tool. Neither includes a battery or charger.
Both tools eat DeWalt 20V MAX packs. If you already charge packs for a yellow drill, impact, circular saw, or framer, either saw drops onto that shelf. If you are starting 20V MAX cold, budget a pack and charger before either bare tool cuts anything — an orphan saw is not a complete kit.
Which DeWalt should you buy?
Buy the DCS335B if the cut needs a jigsaw blade
Choose the DCS335B when the work is curves, sink cutouts, scored plunge lines, or plywood scrolls that need a shoe on the line and a T-shank blade. It also makes sense if you specifically want the barrel-grip XR body for a lower sight line. It is not a stud-demo tool.

Buy the DCS367B if the job is actually demo
Choose the DCS367B when the reciprocating blade is the reason you are shopping: studs, nail-embedded wood, PVC, prune, and cuts between framing where a 14.5-inch compact XR body fits. It is not a curve-tracking jigsaw, and it will not flush-cut a door jamb the way an oscillating multi-tool will.

Decisive verdict
Buy the DCS335B when the workpiece needs a jigsaw blade on a shoe. Curves, cutouts, and plunge lines are its job. Check current price and seller on Amazon.
Buy the DCS367B when the workpiece needs a recip blade through studs or nail-embedded wood. It is the compact two-hand XR recip — not a jigsaw, and not a flush oscillating tool.
If you still need to confirm which aisle the job is in, start with Best Jigsaws 2026 for curves and cutouts, or Best Reciprocating Saws 2026 for demo and nails-in-wood. Many 20V MAX crews eventually own both. Buy Home Depot exclusives at Home Depot, not from third-party Amazon sellers.
FAQ
Is the DCS335 better because it reaches 3,200 SPM?
No. SPM does not erase the difference between a jigsaw blade and a reciprocating blade. Buy the DCS335 for curves and cutouts. Buy the DCS367 for demo, prune, and nails-in-wood.
Can the DCS367 track a curve in plywood?
That is not its job. A recip blade is for pushing through studs and stock. The DCS335 is designed for a shoe on the line and a T-shank jigsaw blade.
Do both tools use the same DeWalt batteries?
Yes. Both are DeWalt 20V MAX XR tools. Both compared listings are tool-only — battery and charger sold separately.
Can I use the same blades on both?
No. T-shank jigsaw blades do not fit the DCS367 4-position recip clamp. Reciprocating saw blades do not fit the DCS335 T-shank clamp.
What about the top-handle DCS334 or Atomic DCS369?
Our jigsaw guide’s default cordless jigsaw body is the top-handle DCS334B; this comparison covers the barrel-grip DCS335B. Atomic one-hand recip is the recip guide’s DCS369 — a different body (often third-party).
