Why We Love This Deal
It seems that DeWalt fans just keep winning lately. The past few weeks have been an incredible time to pick up everything from the brand’s socket sets to its 20V Powerpack batteries at a discount. Now, during the season when cutting wood means keeping a fire going longer, the brand's cordless reciprocating saw is $50 off the normal price.
The DeWalt 20V Cordless Reciprocating Saw (DCS380B) is now just $109, which is 31% off the normal price and more than $20 less than the similar Milwaukee sawzall that was recently on sale. Both tools have a 4.8-star rating on Amazon, similar power levels, and are the top 2 ranked reciprocating saws on Amazon. The primary difference is that this tool uses a brushed motor, which makes it less suitable for heavy usage but still wonderful for occasional tasks such as seasonal brush clearing.

Imagine taking a hand saw and pumping it back and forth as much as 50 times per second, with short but strong strokes of just over an inch. That’s what this saw does for you, rapidly cutting through wood and metal without the impending arthritis or the caloric drag. In fact, sitting at just under 4 pounds, this DeWalt reciprocating saw isn’t going to demand much of you at all, but steady guidance and a power source.
On that last note, it's important to know that this is a tool-only deal. DeWalt's 20V 4Ah should do the trick, but any 20V Max battery from the brand will work. Meanwhile, if you’re totally green to DeWalt, this DeWalt charger and 2-battery set is an Amazon No. 1 bestseller for a reason—worth a pick-up.
Finally, one of the nice things about being a DeWalt guy today is that if you do happen to want more power, the place to go to for more power today probably isn’t another brand but instead the DeWalt XR version of this tool, currently priced at only about $60 more. That model is also brushless, meaning it will stand up to more consistent usage.
