DEWALT 20V MAX* Reciprocating Saw, Cordless, 2-Finger Variable Trigger, Keyless Blade Clamp, Tool Only (DCS382B)

I’ve used a number of reciprocating saws over the years (corded and cordless), and this DEWALT 20V MAX model strikes a really solid balance between power, control, and usability. First impressions: Right out of the box, the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from DEWALT—rugged, well-balanced, and clearly designed for real jobsite use. It feels sturdy without being overly heavy, which makes a noticeable difference during extended use. Performance: The brushless motor delivers strong, consistent cutting power. I tested it on pressure-treated lumber, PVC, and some light metal, and it handled all of it without bogging down. The 1-1/8” stroke length gives fast, efficient cuts, especially for demolition-type work. The variable speed trigger is responsive and easy to modulate, which is especially useful when starting cuts or working in tighter spaces. Ease of use: • The tool-free blade change system is quick and secure—no fumbling with extra tools. • The 2-finger trigger design is surprisingly comfortable and reduces fatigue. • Integrated LED is a small but genuinely useful feature when working in dim areas. Portability & ergonomics: This is where it really stands out. Being cordless, it’s easy to maneuver, and the compact size helps in awkward positions (like overhead cuts or between studs). It’s not the lightest saw out there, but the weight is well distributed. Battery note: This is a bare tool, so you’ll need a compatible DEWALT 20V battery. If you’re already in the ecosystem, that’s a non-issue. If not, factor that into the cost. Cons / considerations: • Slight vibration at higher speeds (common for this class of tool) • No orbital action mode (may matter for heavy demolition users) • Battery and charger not included Bottom line: This is a reliable, well-designed reciprocating saw that delivers strong performance for DIYers and pros alike. It’s especially well-suited for remodeling, demo work, and general cutting tasks where mobility matters. Would I recommend it? Yes—especially if you’re already using DEWALT 20V tools. It’s a practical upgrade from older brushed models and a dependable addition to any toolkit.

Great tool. Bought for husband and he likes it. Says it works will.

This saw has all the torque that you will need. It fits nicely in the hand. It is a bit heavy for one handed use but not impossible in a pinch. I used it to cut up an old trampoline. Went thru 5 blades on this sucker but the saw never slowed down. It does good on the batteries. Will burn thru them faster than the drill but still does well. Highly recommend. Also it is about $60 cheaper on here than at Lowe's.

Only the best. Thanks Amazon —->😎MMM

great product

I have a long line of Dewalt tools. This is a work horse to cut down tough juniper trees. Between chainsaw and reciprocating saw I could manage to cut down several trees to make room for landscaping. I have to pace myself when I use vibrating tool like this one to give rest to joints. The only improvement I would like to see is locking (with an easy unlocking) the trigger switch in ON position so I don't have to be holding the switch while cutting

very easy to use and lightweight....it's a dewalt...enough said

Hands down.. The best reciprocal saw you can buy! If you want the best rated reciprocal saw, go ahead and spend the money, especially if your going to be using this tool a lot. Keep in mind the cost of batteries. Easier to pay for a set of good tires than this . I cut many small trees and this is top! Is heavy and your going to need Atleast 8 amp batteries. 12 amp is best just give saw a break and keep eye on your batteries. Generic batteries are ok if from a good company just don’t let them get hot.

Muy buena y útil herramienta además de poderosa y muy resistente, me sirvió mucho para lo que la necesito

Dewalt anos luz a frente , ferramenta fortíssima top a melhor

Arrived on time, my father-in-law loved this saw. Would definitely buy again. Thanks Amazon
