Which is better for cutting curves?

The DEWALT jigsaw. A router cuts straight, guided profiles; the jigsaw's narrow blade and orbital action handle curves, scrolls and cutouts.

Which is better for edge profiles and dadoes?

The PowerAll router. Its 1/4 in collet, edge guide and micro depth adjustment are built for edges, inlays and joinery. A jigsaw cannot cut a clean dado.

Do I need to buy a battery for either?

Yes. Both are bare tools. The DEWALT needs a 20V MAX battery and charger; the PowerAll needs a 24V PowerAll battery and charger.

Is the DEWALT worth $14 more?

They do different jobs, so price is not the deciding factor. At $123.97 at Walmart versus $109.99 at Greenworks Tools as of November 3, 2026, buy the one that matches the cut you need.

Which is easier to control for fine work?

The router for depth-precise edge work, thanks to micro adjustment. The jigsaw for freehand curves, thanks to variable speed and orbital settings.

Which has the better warranty?

The PowerAll router lists a 5-year limited tool warranty. DEWALT's standard warranty on the DCS334B is shorter, typically 3 years.

DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Jigsaw (DCS334B) vs 24V PowerAll Compact Router, Tool Only

These are different tools, not substitutes. The DEWALT DCS334B is a jigsaw for curved and plunge cuts; the PowerAll 24V is a palm router for edges, dadoes and inlays. Buy the DEWALT if you need curved or cutout work on the 20V MAX battery platform you already own. Buy the PowerAll router if you need edge profiling or joinery and already own 24V PowerAll batteries. On price, the DEWALT is $123.97 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, and the PowerAll is $109.99 at Greenworks Tools as of November 3, 2026. Both are bare tools, so battery and charger cost is on top of either.

Today the 24V PowerAll Compact Router, Tool Only costs $13.98 less at its best price.
