Good DIY tool with simple blade insertion and removal
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. ... show more

Really good reciprocating saw with some really nice features but also lacking some basic features.
Style: 20V Compact Saw (Tool Only) Pattern Name: Saw
Good reciprocating saw. Really like the led light in front. Only wish they were able to put an extending shoe and some sort of vibration absorbing feature. The vibration isn't really significantly worse than any other reciprocating saw models and brands out there, at least that I've used before, but it does feel like my arms do take a little more of the vibrations than other models and brand reciprocating saws i've used. I do believe it may have something to do with the design of the saw and how the motor is angled different than traditional reciprocating saw designs. I can't say that's the reason for sure but it's my opinion from my experience using this saw compared to other ones. Also like the compact design. Not a whole lot shorter than the traditional designs but it does feel more ergonomically comfortable holding in my hands compared to the traditional design also. I honestly think it looks cooler than the other reciprocating design also even though that really isn't important compared to quality and functionality of the tool, but when I can get a really good quality product I like and it also look cool on top of that, that's always a plus. ... show more

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!
