Whether you're cutting two-by-fours or PVC piping, the DeWalt DC385K Cordless Reciprocating Saw makes it easy to get jobs done quickly, safely, and accurately. This powerful saw offers 1-inch strokes at up to 2,900 SPM for quick, accurate cuts. And with 18-volt of DeWalt extended-life battery power working for you, you get all the power corded saws offer in a convenient 6.5-pound package. This saw features an electric brake that protects your blade, a steel wobble plate, and a solid, light-weight magnesium case for incredible durability. And it's packed with little details that make your job easier. An easy-to-access blade clamp ensures fast, keyless changing of blades on the job, and the ability to reverse your blade makes upside-down cutting a cinch, while an open-top pivoting shoe makes it easy to see your work. It's even comfortable to hold and work with, featuring a well-balanced design and a rubber grip, trigger, and boot. Included in this kit is a one-hour charger, an 18-volt XRP battery, a wood cutting reciprocating saw blade, and a heavy-duty kit box.

Good powerful saw

Reviewed by Smart Consumer, 2009-12-17

After I received it, fully charged the battery, put to use right away. It works very well, the weight of the saw works to your advantage and makes it more stable. One charge is good enough for my whole small-medium job.

Great tool, Sub-standard battery life

Reviewed by A. Bonlander, 2009-11-30

My husband and I bought this for my father-in-law as an early Christmas present. He loves it -- but the battery life is crap. If you're using this for weekend projects, you should be fine. My father-in-law has a farm and this saw gets used a lot. We were there over Thanksgiving and I was using the saw. Longest battery life we got out of it was about 2 hours. And that's after being fully charged.

If you're a "power user" -- definitely buy an extra battery.

Well worth the money

I've gotten a lot of good use from this. My only complaint is that when the battery starts to die, it cuts pretty poorly. But as long as you keep the battery charged up, it is great. I got my money's worth and more.

The saw price thru Amazon in KIT was a great price [saved shipping] even over Ebay. Ran the saw thru about 6 discharges then a 24hr balance charge.Very well built unit. If you do a lot of cutting a xtra battery is necessary. Plenty of power to the ovious discharge. GREAT blade cuppler. Worthwhile tool to own.
