DEWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX* Reciprocating Saw, One-Handed, Cordless, Tool Only (DCS369B)

My new go-to gardening/landscaping tool. Lightweight (less than 5 pounds with a 3 AH battery), versatile, ergonomically comfortable (easy to switch from left hand to right hand when getting into tight spots), easy to use one or two handed. Using with 3AH batteries - gives me plenty of time to work. I always need a break before my fully charged saw runs out of battery life. FYI - this is not in use for mere landscape maintenance. Husband (with chainsaw) and I have been slowly hand-clearing quick growing invasive trees from a half acre lot. You can’t imagine how fast these demon trees grow lol. Chainsaw is too heavy for me and way too much maintenance. This wonderful “grab and go” tool is a game-changer, allowing me to get into tight places my husband hasn’t had a chance to get to yet. Easily saws through up to 4” branches, would probably do more, but safety first. Also cuts through roots with no worries about running into rocks (my carbide blades actually cut cleanly through rocks - just once by accident, but boy was I surprised). The only thing it won’t do is cut thin, floppy branches. Since the saw goes back and forth, it just grabs those and shakes them. Minor, since I can easily cut those with loppers anyway. I would have gotten one of these years ago if I had known how life-changing it would be. Love this tool! :-)

The order arrived when promised (within 48 hours) and the delivery driver actually walked down our 1/5 mile icy driveway in the dark. It arrived in excellent condition and works well. A good quality product.

When you need the power of a reciprocating saw but you’re working in a tight space or have only one spare hand, this bad boy will help you get the job done. Believe it.

Very handy, and the stroke depth is not bad, still cuts fast. I needed to make some soffit repairs and do frequent rough cuts. I could maneuver it easily on a high ladder.

Great!

I like that with the smaller size the power welas not sacrificed. Huge difference in size and weight from my previous model. This is much more easier to work with, especially for a dyi-er. I would say its speed is above the old xr model and it's does not feel that it vibrates as much. The blades can be changed in a seconds. Not the the older models offered a less quality build,but the atomics really feel focused on ergonomics and comfort for small dyi jobs around the house

I have been looking at Reciprocating Saws for some time now and found this DeWALT tool that is just the right size for an older craftsman like me. I used this light-weight saw to make short work of a wooden gate on my fence this morning. The box contained the saw, two blades (one for metal and one for wood) and a belt hanger. As with most DeWALT tools, I recommend this to anyone who is looking for lighter weight tools that still perform well.

As a woman said in her earlier positive review, my primary intended use for this saw is landscaping tasks , though I imagine there'll be the occasional rusted bolt or padlock with a long-lost key, and after some testing I think its going to be perfect. I don't have a lot of land but there are a few shrubs that my wife thinks should be allowed to grow free until even she can't stand it anymore and about a third of the land I do have is wooded mostly with oak trees. Oak trees drop not only more leaves than you can possibly imagine but also branches and lots of acorns that want to grow into more oak trees. Its a constant battle to get rid of the fallen branches and the saplings. Anything bigger than 3 inches or so is a job for the chainsaw and I have a couple of very nice manual pruning saws, but power is always better than manual, especially since I'm not getting any younger. This compact Dewalt saw is light is light, maneuverable and powerful and it will save a lot of time and energy. Since tools like saws and grinders draw more power than drills and drivers, I got a couple of after-market 6 aH batteries for it and these will keep it going longer than I do. One word of caution, though. If you have any questions about your new tool, don't bother calling or emailing Dewalt customer service. They apparently know little or nothing about the tools they sell and cannot answer even the most mundane questions, instead referring you to an authorized service center. Huh???

Bought this just prior to building a piece on my home, was well used and took it like a champ. Have always used Dewalt at home and work. Some stuff is great, some stuff is not so great but always seem to get decent use out of there stuff. Can’t complain

Used upon receiving. Cut away conifer branches on 15 large conifers prior to cutting down. Used 2 5ah batteries and Lennox blades. Let the saw do the work. I was dreading the job but did it with ease. Quoted £150 for the work so got a free saw, money left over and a day in the sun. Lightweight, compact and handy. Very happy with purchase.

Excelente.Trabaja muy bien

pretty much what i expected from dewalt top quality bit of kit, cuts through wood and metal like butter and works with the uk 18v dewalt battery's its just branded 20v in the US , delivery was quicker than expected and around £60 cheaper than the cost in the uk

This is well made and very easy to use. We use it mostly for trimming tree branches. A small 2a battery lasts very long before needing recharge.
