ATOMIC 20V MAX* Reciprocating Saw, One-Handed, Cordless, Tool Only (DCS369B)

My new go-to gardening/landscaping tool. Lightweight (less than 5 pounds with a 3 AH battery), versatile, ergonomically comfortable (easy to switch from left hand to right hand when getting into tight spots), easy to use one or two handed. Using with 3AH batteries - gives me plenty of time to work. I always need a break before my fully charged saw runs out of battery life. FYI - this is not in use for mere landscape maintenance. Husband (with chainsaw) and I have been slowly hand-clearing quick growing invasive trees from a half acre lot. You can’t imagine how fast these demon trees grow lol. Chainsaw is too heavy for me and way too much maintenance. This wonderful “grab and go” tool is a game-changer, allowing me to get into tight places my husband hasn’t had a chance to get to yet. Easily saws through up to 4” branches, would probably do more, but safety first. Also cuts through roots with no worries about running into rocks (my carbide blades actually cut cleanly through rocks - just once by accident, but boy was I surprised). The only thing it won’t do is cut thin, floppy branches. Since the saw goes back and forth, it just grabs those and shakes them. Minor, since I can easily cut those with loppers anyway. I would have gotten one of these years ago if I had known how life-changing it would be. Love this tool! :-)

Other than it, overheating and making changes in the way the motor sound.It was a good product

I have been looking at Reciprocating Saws for some time now and found this DeWALT tool that is just the right size for an older craftsman like me. I used this light-weight saw to make short work of a wooden gate on my fence this morning. The box contained the saw, two blades (one for metal and one for wood) and a belt hanger. As with most DeWALT tools, I recommend this to anyone who is looking for lighter weight tools that still perform well.

Asome

Small, compact, super easy to use and very powerful

This saw was purchased to initially tackle heavy pruning and cutting up small trees and limbs 5" in diameter or less. I can attest that using this saw with a high quality 9" pruning blade saved me at least two days manual work and a worn out shoulder. Cutting through 3" dried buckthorn was a breeze. That was something my highly sharpened pruning shears could not do. It also sawed through 5" ash wood no problem. As with any power tool it took some learning to get the best cutting angle and just let the saw do the work rather than forcing it. This saw will also be used to replace all my old mismatched home plumbing. A mixture of copper, galvanized steel, cast iron and who knows what else I might find. For plumbing I purchased a carbide tooth steel blade made hard metals and cast iron. Some pipes are in tight spots that I do not want to contort myself into accessing. I also have plaster walls I don't want to cut access panels into. If they were drywall that's a different storey. As some have already noted this is a versatile tool that can be used for many different things which also added to the appeal for me.

Very handy, and the stroke depth is not bad, still cuts fast. I needed to make some soffit repairs and do frequent rough cuts. I could maneuver it easily on a high ladder.

I spent so much time researching and comparing. Contemplating the purchase. I Have an old Chicago reciprocating saw that I always dread using and thought I could make do. So happy with my purchase. Light weight, easy to zip around the property. Has already in three weeks came in very handy on multiple projects including landscaping, treehouse for the kids and demo on lots of items that needed cut down to get into the dump. Most of the time I am able to use only one hand, others require more force two hands. Worth every penny.

Bought this just prior to building a piece on my home, was well used and took it like a champ. Have always used Dewalt at home and work. Some stuff is great, some stuff is not so great but always seem to get decent use out of there stuff. Can’t complain

Used upon receiving. Cut away conifer branches on 15 large conifers prior to cutting down. Used 2 5ah batteries and Lennox blades. Let the saw do the work. I was dreading the job but did it with ease. Quoted £150 for the work so got a free saw, money left over and a day in the sun. Lightweight, compact and handy. Very happy with purchase.

Excelente.Trabaja muy bien

pretty much what i expected from dewalt top quality bit of kit, cuts through wood and metal like butter and works with the uk 18v dewalt battery's its just branded 20v in the US , delivery was quicker than expected and around £60 cheaper than the cost in the uk

This is well made and very easy to use. We use it mostly for trimming tree branches. A small 2a battery lasts very long before needing recharge.
