Cordless reciprocating saw

Why We Chose It

The DEWALT 20V MAX* Reciprocating Saw, tool-only model DCS380B, is the pinnacle of 'just enough' in the power tool world. It’s the iPhone of saws, minus the pretentiousness. This saw is about as bare-bones as a monk’s wardrobe, but it doesn’t need bells or whistles to prove itself. It’s got a 1-1/8-inch stroke length that slices through material like a hot knife through butter. The four-position blade clamp is perfect for those who like options but aren’t into commitment. The variable speed trigger is a godsend for control freaks who demand precision, even if it’s just to cut a rogue branch. This tool doesn’t come with a battery, charger, or any other accessories, presumably because you’re supposed to possess these by divine right. It’s the best choice for those who value performance over pointless additions.

What It Does

• Handles like a dream... for a saw.
• Lasts longer than your patience.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't charge itself. No battery included.
• Doesn't come with a personal assistant.

Tech Specs
