DEWALT DCS387B 20V Max Cordless Reciprocating Saw - Compact & Lightweight, Tool Only (Battery Not Included) - Ideal for DIY Projects, Wood Cutting, Metal Sawing, and Construction Work

This is a tool only version. Perfect if you are already invested in the Dewalt tool system. Unit itself looks well built, typical Dewalt quality. Has a good weight to it but not too heavy. Adding a battery 4A battery pack to it did not off balance the tool. It felt comfortable in my hands and also during operation. I like the safety switch so you can lock the trigger and not accidentally turn it on if when switching blades. Or if you have curious little ones running around, they won't accidentally turn it on. I usually remove the battery, it's a habit I have when using power tools. After I am done with it, even for a minute, I will unplug the power source. Installation of your choice of blades is straight forward. flip the tab on the side of the unit and slide the blade in. One thing I did not like is that you have to keep holding that tab up. It's spring loaded so if you let go, it locks it again. Personally, I prefer one that you unlock and then lock but that's a minor gripe. You can mount your blades in a variety of ways to fit your work situation. The instructions provided is clear.I needed a reciprocating saw for a quick project and used it to cut through two cedar fence ties stacked on top of one another. I had to cut from the bottom up (backwards) due to space constraints and this is where the compact design of the tool shined. If this was a regular sized recip saw, I would not have enough room to work work. The compact size allowed me to fit into a tight spot and still keep control of the tool while in operation. Grip on the saw was good and I felt in control of it. The saw does kick back a bit but use some common sense, hold it steady and don't force it to cut faster than it can manage and you won't have any issues.I used Diablo blades with the saw as I've had good experiences with the in the past with saw blades. The combo was perfect for my needs and made quick work of cutting through both ties quickly.
