DEWALT 20V MAX Reciprocating Saw, 3,000 Strokes Per Minute, Variable Speed Trigger, Bare Tool Only (DCS380B)

Perfect saw. Works great buy. Nice not having a cord. Cuts great.

Very powerful tool. I like the feature that I can turn the blade in different ways for ease to cut. It seems it uses up the 2 Ah battery pretty fast. Maybe this is the reason it is quite powerful.

great for the price, so powerful but goes through saws fast, great for anything, helped me ripped out 3 shrubs and cut wood

Seems to be great for the price. I've always used a corded one, so this one being cordless is a big plus.

This 20V MAX Cordless Reciprocating, Variable Speed, LED light, Bare Tool Option (meaning you can usethe 20V tools you already own) is perfect. I purchased it after reading about the smaller, more compact size and lighter weight. plus easier maneuvering in tight spaces. Like all DEWALT products, it is made extremely well, easy to use and the usual DEWALT real deal. Pruning blades are next for fall pruning coming soon.A great addition to my 20V collection with my really great DEWALT safety goggles on, the proper blades for the job I plan to do I am ready and confident I can do it right and do it well. DEWALT is in a class by itself.

I recently got this tool to cut PVC and ABS pipes for a DIY project. The tool feels solid and well made, but it has a few pretty annoying problems:1. The blades do not lock in properly. I got DeWalt blades too. Once locked in, there's significant side-to-side play, as if the calipers do not fully tighten over the blade in the locked position. That seems to me like a pretty major flaw, since at high speed the back-and-forth motion of the saw can easily push the blade sideways and snap it. I don't know what the folks at Dewalt were thinking.. maybe they designed the saw for thicker blades and the recent ones they sell are just not thick enough (cost savings??) resulting in this arguably unsafe condition.2. The angle of attack seems wrong. If you look closely at the photos, you can see that the blade installs at a certain angle relative to the axis of motion, which means it is not possible to use this saw like one would use a manual saw , where the teeth move back and forth perfectly along the saw's axis of motion. Instead, the teeth move away from the material when the blade pushes forward, and subsequently they hit and bite into the material at an angle when the blade pulls back. This introduces more vibration than necessary and makes the cuts rougher than they would be otherwise if the blade teeth were to simply move back and forth along the axis of motion.3. The shoe at the tip is flimsy. There is a metal shoe at the tip that allows the saw body to push against and align with the material for a 90 degree cut. This shoe swivels up-down, but it's not possible to "lock" it in any given position. It will swivel while cutting, as one moves the saw along the material. I don't see the point of this. It introduces yet another point of instability during cuts, in addition to the side-to-side blade play.

Cant beat Dewalt

Works great! Time to say goodbye to my 50 year old model. That one weighs about 7 or 8 pounds and is all metal housing. A beast but still works.
