DEWALT DCS380N-XJ 18V XR Lithium-Ion Body Only Reciprocating Saw, Yellow/Black, 9.8 cm*46.8 cm*15.0 cm

Arrived on time, the outer packaging was damaged but thankfully the inber box was OK.The saw is brilliant. I have used a wired reciprocating saw and found it very useful. But this saw is much better. No need for leads or extension cables with the accompanying inconvenience, it's very light and easy to use yet powerful enough for normal DIY tasks and much more.One hint, It is important to ensure you have good blades to maximise the efficiency of the saw.Highly recommended.

I love DeWalt power tools and their 18V range is excellent.This is a very well made high quality reciprocating sawThe things that I really like about this sawIt is well balancedThe controls are all in exactly the right place for intuitive useThe rubber mouldings add grip and comfortThe blade change is fast and easy.The blade can be inserted in any of four directions to suit the use and available space.Works with standard Dewalt 18v batteriesAmazingly long battery life (obviously dependent not he size of the battery)Amazing and excellent are the two words I would use to sum up this great piece of kit.I hope you have found this review to be useful, if so please click that this has been helpful, if you want to know more then please ask.

So I decided to stop spending time on product reviews of various power tools and settle on one brand to optimise batteries etc. De Walt has become my brand of choice due to overall quality/durability and this reciprocating saw has not disappointed. I read somewhere that these tools are not built for finesse but for dismantling things they are perfect. And this is excellent, used to demolish stair banister and it took minutes todo! Have also used in garden for cutting up thick branches etc.

i got this on warehouse so it was good value, i got it to replace a corded version of the same tool i already had, seems to be usual Dewalt top quality

When I received this it seemed a bit rough and not of the usual Dewalt quality I am used to. It felt front heavy and I thought I was going to be able to use it one-handed but this was not really possible. It was also bigger than I anticipated. However, once I used it I found it easily cut through a metal oven and tree. The blades did bend and it took a couple of seconds to bite but then it went through everything so easily and with very little effort. What I found is that the shoe / guide must be pressed against something to steady it and then it bites straightaway. If you just rest or push the blade on something you want to cut then the whole machine just jumps about like crazy. Rest the shoe and it is smooth as anything and doesn't jump about at all. It actually made quite neat cuts, considering how rough it seems. I didn't like the fact that the blades seem loose and flop about but once using it doesn't seem to make much difference. Overall very happy with this and it is good value. It cuts through many things very easily. I cut through a big side by side double oven so I could dispose of it. A friend and I were unable to cut through this using a number of different handsaws. This saw cut through the rubber and metal pipe and any part of the oven we needed to cut and it was not hard work. I was expecting it to take much longer and be more difficult and harder than it was.

ok

Chopped down Leylandi, bushes, metal saw blade has cut the aluminium greenhouse carcass up. Safe enough for the wife to have confidence using and extremely good all round. An essential tool now. The only downside reported by the wife and a hardened landscaper is that after prolonged use the hands ache from the use and vibration, but it is a heavy duty tool and addictive so perhaps they should have not attempted such large branches with it that the chainsaw normally does. It does cut a decent size conifer trunk and branches too.

This is my third DeWalt cordless power tool (all three use the same, shared battery). Like an earlier reviewer, I use mine mostly for tree pruning, and I've so far cut through 4-inch (10cm) branches with ease. The tool doesn't come supplied with saw blades. I bought two sets of blades (152mm and 228mm) from my local Screwfix. It's a heavy tool and it's best to hold it firmly with both hands. I like the variable speed which allows full control over starting a cut. Care and a firm grip needed if the blade starts getting stuck, otherwise it'll shake your teeth loose :-)Very pleased with mine so far.
