DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Reciprocating Saw, Battery and Charger Included (DCS380P1)

I started buying Dewalt 20v Max tools a few years ago. The first one was not because of the brand, it was because I needed the tool. I was so impressed with it, I began buying only Dewalt if I needed another cordless tool.This reciprocating saw is a performer,and I am sure that the next one I buy will be too.

This saw is great. Almost scary it has so much power. Don't know exactly how long the battery will last but it seems like a long time. The main drawback would be the cost of replacement batteries if you need one. They are. expensive.

After doing a ton of research on several 18V reciprocating saws, I stumbled across this 20V Dewalt DCS380P1 saw kit. My 64 year old right elbow gave out (tennis elbow) after using hand saws exclusively to cut down Brazilian Pepper trees in the wetlands surrounding our Southwest Florida home. I haven't used any of my chain saws because the vegetation is so dense, and the footing so uncertain, that I didn't want to chance having an accident with such a powerful tool. Lots of things can go wrong with a chain saw when used in tight quarters so I decided to be safe rather than sorry.Even though I read some raving reviews about how good this saw kit is, I decided to order two additional 20V batteries so that I would have plenty of power to get a lot done before running out of juice. I also ordered a 5 pack of highly rated pruning saw blades in order to have the best set-up possible. On with the gloves, boots, long shirt, work pants, sunscreen, insect repellent and UV hat, and then I started to cut my latest path into the wetlands.First off, let me say that this saw is well-designed and balanced, and a real pleasure to use. I made cuts at ground level, waist level, and above my head. I cut pepper trees and limbs down that ranged in diameter from 2" to 10", all of them much more quickly and easily than with my high-end hand saws. There was no strain on my arms and I always felt stable and confident. This is one lean, mean cutting machine! But the biggest surprise was the battery. The last battery powered tool I owned was a standard power drill that maybe worked for about 10 minutes before losing its charge. Because of that I really wasn't expecting the charge to last very long with this saw.But boy, was I surprised! This thing just kept on cutting. I would have to pause on occasion to move some of the limbs I cut down and I was constantly picking up all the debris deposited in our wetlands from Hurricane Charley in 2004, but I had to force myself to keep working until at least the first battery gave it up. It is very obvious that battery technology has expanded by leaps and bounds, helped no doubt by the development of more efficient batteries for cars.I wish that I had investigated buying one of these saws about six months ago. The wear and tear that I would have avoided on this worn out body would have been greatly appreciated. It only goes to show that there is always a right tool for each job--you just have to find out what it is.

It’s light to handle and easy to put in blades

Great product

I was completely satisfied with my order . Exactly what I wanted and at a great price .

Powerful saw that has a lot of versatility. Easy to load and unload blades. The case and battery make it a complete package. A second battery would be nice when I'm using it away from the house, but I knew that going this was a single battery purchase.
