I mainly use this for sawing fallen trees on mountain biking trails. With a Diablo 12 inch pruning blade I can go through 16 inch diameter logs. It takes a while but it does the job. This is much lighter (both saw and battery) than my 20 year old Milwaukee sawzall, and is also smaller and much easier to handle. When it does fail in the future I will buy another.

Caveat… I am using the 20V XL battery and the battery life is great - 30+ mins of moderate use. I tried a smaller battery and eh… not so much. Lost power pretty quick after about 15 mins of use. I got this saw to compliment my Dewalt corded version. I’m finding a lot of things that just need a quick cut and wanted to grab a saw and go. Perfect! I don’t think you can take a house down on one battery but you could get a wall.

Style: Recip Saw OnlyPattern Name: SawVerified Purchase
My trusty old corded Dewalt reciprocating saw was a pain to get to some areas in my yard so I finally added this to my 20v cordless collection and so glad I did. Works great with a 5AH battery. Battery lasts well considering how hard this tool works. I have been using it to cut out stumps and roots in a wooded area on our property I have been cleaning up. Typical good Dewalt quality. Great price on Amazon and well worth the cost. Has saved me a ton of time and effort on this rough job and will be a useful tool to have around in the future

5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine with UK 18v XR batteries.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2022
Style: 20V Compact Saw (Tool Only)Pattern Name: SawVerified Purchase
This is described as 20v for the US market but works fine with standard 18v Dewalt XR batteries. These are not precision cutters, but great for chopping up stuff where millimetre accuracy is not needed. As per the description, the blade fits in two different ways which can be handy where access is difficult. It has a bright LED which also helps a lot.

As with all saws of this type, the blade can catch and make the saw jump if you are not careful, so protective gloves and eye protectors are a good idea - the queues at A&E are so long these days, so why take a chance on injuring yourself?

Reviewed in Canada on October 16, 2018
Style: 20V Compact Saw (Tool Only)Pattern Name: SawVerified Purchase
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.
