Product ReviewsDEWALT DCS387B 20V Reciprocating Saw

Great!!!

This is a review for the refurbished DCS387B. Compared to the DCS367B, the more premier item, this one has a brushed motor as opposed to brushless in the 367B and therefore is probably less powerful and eats batteries faster. This is the one they often include in combo kits of which I have no use for. On the other hand, it is way cheaper and so far has been able to rip through anything I've tried -- no problem cutting through thick steel. It's compact and seems really great. Regarding "refurbished" it looked pretty much entirely new to me, although I assume it is refurbished in some way. What a steal! I used it for about an hour with a 4Ah battery and it only went down about half way, so depending on how much you plan to destroy at once, a 2 or 5 Ah battery may be appropriate.Read full review...

Dewalt 20 volt sawzall

Nice size and construction maybe, but when the blade is inserted and locked down, it flops around way to much, and makes it hard to get a cut started. I checked other Dewalts and they are all made this way. Dewalt might want to take lessons from Milwaukee on how to built this tool. I was disappointed, as I have a lot of Dewalt 20 volt tools and it would have fit in nicely. Read full review...

Compact, powerful, and versatile

I got tired of lugging my old electric sawzall around and after upgrading my old battery operated 18V drill/driver motor to the DeWalt 20V MAX system, I saw this recip saw for a great price. I have used it a couple times and I am more than satisfied with the power and performance of the tool. It is nice and short due to its angled design. The blade holder is very nice because of the clamping method and the fact that I can turn the blade 90 degrees in the holder to cut sideways if needed. This adds to the versatility of the tool. The 20V MAX 4 Ah battery just runs and runs too. Read full review...

Essential Saw

OMG. I use my reciprocating saw all the time for wood trimmings (trees/bushes/shrubs) This Dewalt replaced an electric corded saw. No more setting up my electrical cord then dragging it around. I had initial concerns of the power this 20V saw would deliver. No longer. Yesterday I cut down a dead 4" diameter Japanese Maple tree, then moved on to several large lilac bushes.

Cutting them down and then reducing their length for garbage pick-up was quick and nearly effortless. Again, the power of this saw for small yard projects is great. Read full review...

Great product at a fantastic price

Needed a portable reciprocating saw for work around the house. This fit the bill as it included the battery and charger for under$100. The tool alone runs over $150 normally so this was a great deal. Tool works well and I see many years of use.Read full review...

A great tool

The shape is what makes this tool stand out. Instead of the long body of the standard reciprocating saw the off-set motor makes it more comfortable to use. The blade can install in four different directions which also makes it convenient for certain applications. The 20v battery is plenty powerful and long lasting for most uses.Read full review...

Typical great DeWalt quality

I love the compact one-handed design for ease of operation. It is lightweight and easy to use. I especially like the feature that the blade will fit in any of four ways, which makes it really easy to cut close to obstacles and next to walls. I am looking forward to using it more. I have had a DeWalt corded sawzall for many years, and probably won't use it much anymore, as this one is so much more convenient.

Well worth the Change from older tool sets

As a recent "senior", tools seem to get heavier every year. Reciprocating saws have been my pruning tools for the last 20 years. With recent advances in quick change blades, lighter lithium batteries and additions of led lights, it was time to replace my aging cordless tools.
I was concerned that with Dewalt I would be paying some for the name alone, but after using hitachi, ryobi and craftsman, I found the Dewalt brand well worth the price.
Although heavier than the 19.2 volt craftsman I had settled on years ago, the varied batteries (from 2 amp to heavy 60/20 flex batteries), gave the tools a great balance that made the slightly heavier weight easier to use than my traditional craftsman.Read full review...
