Style: 20V Compact Saw (Tool Only)
Pattern Name: Saw
This appears to be a quality product like the other DeWalt cordless tools I have. It works fine and works as expected. The one tricky thing was figuring out how to get the blade into and out of the slot, but the manual (provided) shows a picture about how to do that, and once you figure it out, it's a snap. (The little yellow square on the side with the "lock" icon is really a hinged lever that pulls the slot open to receive the blade; you pull that square up and it pulls the little "peg" away so you can put the blade in; the peg snaps into the little hole on the blade to keep it seated while the blade is in use; when you want to remove the blade, you pull the yellow square lever up and then remove the blade.) One thing to note which should be **OBVIOUS** but just in case: REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING THE BLADE. They really should add this warning not just to the general instructions but also to the specific instructions about inserting and removing the blades. The tool does not come with any blades, but I have some for my corded Makita, and of course they're interchangeable. I put on the metal-cutting blade and used the tool to cut the nails and screws in some old lumber that I had around that needed to be "cleaned" before it could be used. Most of the older nails and screws came out okay, but some of them did not give up the nails and screws so easily, so I just cut them off. As a precaution, I always spray the area with a hidden screw or nail with fluorescent orange paint so that I don't later decide to cut the wood and ruin a saw blade! The tool also does not come with a bag or safety glasses or gloves, but I have them from other cordless tools I've purchased. I have a DeWalt mini-chainsaw, a DeWalt pruner, and now this Dewalt reciprocating saw in the same 14" long bag from DeWalt. I keep the batteries and the charger in a separate, smaller bag I have so that I don't have to worry about trying to stuff everything into one huge bag. So far the saw cuts well. It has enough speed to be useful, and while it is not quite as powerful as my corded Makita, it is pretty darn close to the same power and durability of the cutting action so that I don't get tired. It's about 2/3 the size of the Makita, and lighter, which means it's easier to use. The grip is fine. I always wear gloves when using tools, and the tool itself is neither slick nor sticky. (Some of my tools, including the Makita, seem to attract dust and dirt that I have to clean them off with a rag wetted with window cleaner, but this tool wipes off with a paper towel if there's dirt on it.) The length is fine for most DIY use. I wouldn't use it every day if I was doing heavy-duty work because I'd want something with no power, but for cutting sheet metal or nails and the like, it's just fine, and it's easy to use out in the yard when I want to cut roots without using my expensive-and-difficult-and time-consuming-to-sharpen chain saw.

I mean what is there to say. It’s dewalt. Of course it’s good! I love the compact size. Works great for tight areas has all the power you need. Vibration is actually not bad. Cutting speed is up there. Battery life seems to be pretty good!

Surprised how well this tool works. Used my old Sawzall corded saw for 30 plus years but this one is everything my old saw was and more. The ability to mount blades facing up or down vertically as well as sideways facing left or right is super helpful and the easy blade release is awesome. Great tool.

I ordered this saw in order to dismantle a fairly large hot tub that died and was too large to take out of the room that was built around it over 20 years ago. I thought about hiring a company to do it for me due to my age, but they would have charged over $400 and are historically unreliable. So for a little over a $100 I was able to do the job myself and now how a great tool to boot. I removed the heavy, mostly solid pump and heating unit before beginning, so most of the metal was removed to make the job easier. I was a bit concerned about the 5ah I already owned whether it would last long enough to get the job done and, while it took some time to get the job done, the battery was not an issue. The saw performed great and I used a wood saw blade which cut through the fiberglass, wood, foam, and plastic parts with little or no effort. The tool and the battery lasted better than my body did while taking awkward positions and positioning the saw to cut through the curved molded tub. I was able to cut the tub into 4 pieces in order to be able to handle and move it easier.

Style: 20V Compact Saw (Tool Only)
Pattern Name: Saw
I recently got this tool to cut PVC and ABS pipes for a DIY project. The tool feels solid and well made, but it has a few pretty annoying problems: 1. The blades do not lock in properly. I got DeWalt blades too. Once locked in, there's significant side-to-side play, as if the calipers do not fully tighten over the blade in the locked position. That seems to me like a pretty major flaw, since at high speed the back-and-forth motion of the saw can easily push the blade sideways and snap it. I don't know what the folks at Dewalt were thinking.. maybe they designed the saw for thicker blades and the recent ones they sell are just not thick enough (cost savings??) resulting in this arguably unsafe condition. 2. The angle of attack seems wrong. If you look closely at the photos, you can see that the blade installs at a certain angle relative to the axis of motion, which means it is not possible to use this saw like one would use a manual saw , where the teeth move back and forth perfectly along the saw's axis of motion. Instead, the teeth move away from the material when the blade pushes forward, and subsequently they hit and bite into the material at an angle when the blade pulls back. This introduces more vibration than necessary and makes the cuts rougher than they would be otherwise if the blade teeth were to simply move back and forth along the axis of motion. 3. The shoe at the tip is flimsy. There is a metal shoe at the tip that allows the saw body to push against and align with the material for a 90 degree cut. This shoe swivels up-down, but it's not possible to "lock" it in any given position. It will swivel while cutting, as one moves the saw along the material. I don't see the point of this. It introduces yet another point of instability during cuts, in addition to the side-to-side blade play.

My husband has become a big DeWalt fan over the last few years, and he finally decided to get this saw. Now he’s wondering why he waited so long! It’s incredibly sturdy, powerful, and very easy to use. He used to cut palm branches in our backyard with a hand saw, which often left him with cuts and scratches on his arms. Thankfully, that’s now a thing of the past. That was the main reason we bought it, but he’s already discovered several other uses for it as well. We’re very happy with this purchase!

This is a great product and gets the job done. Don't listen to all of the 4-star or less reviews. I noticed people complaining about the vibrations, the side-to-side movement of the blade, battery consumption, and incorrect angle of cut. Wake up people. The name of this tool is Sawzall. The power and RPMs required to cut through anything is A LOT! It will use battery power faster than a driver or circular saw. It's not possible to use this saw, in the manner you would use a regular saw. It requires practice or an experienced user. If it wasn't vibrating and hard to handle, it would be weak. Someone who complained about the incorrect way in which the blade moves against material needs to understand that the saw should be started before contact with its intended surface. Apply pressure to your material slowly as the blade is moving. The shoe guard is meant to give you control and allow you to rock the saw up and down as you cut. It's not meant to "lock down" as one reviewer complained about saying inability to "lock in on any given position". If it locked down, it would rip your arm off as you were cutting. It can get pulled right out of your grip. Dewalt is a fabulous product, and Dewalt would not have released something that was unsafe. The quality is unmatched by rivals. The cuts WILL be rough. Get over it. When you're trying to cut all the pipes and supply lines to a faucet from under the sink and they have not been changed in over 30 years, it works. Don't complain about the vibration. This tool is not for beginners. Use the right blade for the right project and let the saw do the work for you. Go slow.

I bought this saw to cut large dead trees. I worked it VERY HARD. At one point we worked it so hard, that it got hot enough that it was difficult to hold it with gloves on. It never quit or slowed down. It is a very well built, sturdy, saw and can be easily held with both hands.
