DeWALT DC385K 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit

Hands down, we love this saw. It’s packing as much power as its corded colleagues. maybe more but with the awesome convenience of a cordless. It sacrifices nothing in the way of strength or guts with its 1-inch stroke length and 2,900 strokes per minute. It’s relatively lightweight for its power, but the battery does add some heft to it, and that’s really the only less-than-perfect feature about it. The keyless blade clamp system lets you change out a blade without even touching the used blade or reciprocating shaft. We like that the open-topped shoe will pivot, so your visibility is never impaired. The trigger is encased in the same hand-friendly compound that wraps the handle grip as well as the front boot grip, and it’s total comfort in your hand. We always like a trigger lock for reduced hand fatigue, too, and this one’s got it all. Another great feature is that the blade reverses when you’re faced with flush or plunge cuts. For speed, power, quality and cordless convenience, we give this saw two thumbs up. Tear it up. Packing 18 volts of brute cordless power with 0 to 2,900 strokes per minute and a 1-inch stroke length, the DC385 cuts faster than a 4 amp corded saw, and at only 6.5 pounds, it’s lighter than any corded saw, too. The reciprocating saw comes with an electric brake, which prevents blades from breaking when exiting a plunge cut. It features a steel wobble plate and magnesium gear case for maximum durability and a rubber boot, handle, and trigger for maximum comfort while a pivoting shoe with open top provides optimal visibility. Blade reverses for upside-down cutting. You’ll be able to cut 50 2-by-4s, 144 1-1/2-inch PVC pipes, or 30 6-inch roof vents in a single charge. The 18-volt battery interchanges with other tools in the 18-volt system. Includes 18-volt reciprocating saw, blade, one-hour charger, XR+ PACK extended run-time battery, keyless blade clamp for quick release and changing blades, and carrying case.
