Why Choose A DeWalt Reciprocating Saw?
DeWalt has built a reputation on tools designed to cope with tough site conditions, and their reciprocating saws are no exception. Each model is engineered for durability, ease of use, and the ability to cut through wood, metal, and plastics quickly.
Key benefits include:
- Power Options For Every Job: From compact 18v XR reciprocating saws for overhead and confined work, to the powerful Flexvolt reciprocating saw for heavier tasks.
- Cordless Freedom: Every saw in the range is part of the DeWalt XR or Flexvolt battery ecosystem, so you can use the same batteries across your other DeWalt cordless tools.
- Brushless Technology: Some models deliver longer runtimes and improved efficiency, keeping you working for longer.
- User-Friendly Options: Ergonomic grips, balanced weight distribution, and tool-free blade means less downtime and more productivity.
Choosing The Right DeWalt Recip Saw
The best reciprocating saw for you depends on the type of work you do most often:

- Brushless Performance (DeWalt DCS367N & DCS382N) - These models offer lightweight handling combined with brushless efficiency for longer running times.
- Flexvolt 54v Heavy-Duty (DeWalt DCS389T2) - For site demolition and the toughest cuts, these models are a standout choice, combining power with intelligent features such as a pivoting shoe and LED work light.

DeWalt Reciprocating Saws FAQs
Which blade should I use for different materials?
Use a wood-cutting blade for timber and pruning, a metal-cutting blade for pipes and nails, and a multi-material blade if you’re cutting through a mix during demolition.
How long does an 18v battery last on a DeWalt recip saw?
Runtime depends on the capacity of your DeWalt batteries (Ah rating) and the material being cut. On average, a 5Ah battery provides plenty of power for regular site work.
Is DeWalt Flexvolt backward compatible?
Yes. Flexvolt batteries can be used with standard 18v XR tools, offering excellent flexibility across your kit.
What safety precautions should I take with a reciprocating saw?
Always wear gloves and safety glasses, keep two hands on the saw, and remove the battery before changing the blades.
What’s the stroke length and cutting speed on DeWalt recip saws?
Stroke length varies by model (typically 28-30mm), and higher-end models offer up to 3000 strokes per minute for faster cutting.
