I will start by saying I am a full time commercial plumber in the state of Wisconsin. I have this saw on the site with me and put it though the ringer of extreme heat, freezing cold, dusty, muddy, and just plain challenging conditions for any tool and let me tell you, this saw can really hang. I have dropped this saw from my ladder, dropped it in water, snow, and mud and it still cuts like its brand new. Paired with the 6.0 Flexvolt pack, this thing can last me all week of occasional cuts when I need it. Although I am just a plumber, I can promise you that sometimes I ask a lot of this tool, and it never lets me down. The power from this saw is equal to or greater than that of a corded saw. As far as I’m concerned, there is no longer a need for corded saws when you can get the same power and reliability from this bad boy. I have had framers ask me to borrow this saw, and show up the next day with one of their own. Professionals and DIY’ers alike need to have this saw in their arsenal because you can literally cut anything with it. If you still can’t convince your wife or husband that you need this saw, just buy it and let them use it to cut anything of their choosing. They will have so much fun using it that they will forget they’re even mad at you!

It’s a beast. We need this to cut through thick steel, and it gets the job done. I was surprised how long the one battery lasted, and it charges quickly. Just make sure you get the right blades (carbide tipped).

Excellent power and body design

Awesome power and lightweight. It is lacking one very useful feature of having an adjustable table.

Worked great

It’s a decent tool. However, for the price I expected the 6ah hour battery to one, have more power to muscle through a cut; and two, have more runtime. Maybe a saw like this should come standard with a larger battery, a 9ah / 12ah or two 6ah batteries.

I own all Dewalt for the pure reliability of the products , my employer owns the red stuff so I can say that this up against the fuel takes the cake. I just wish they would have given us a rafter hook!

I have owned several cordless dewalt saws and none even come close to this guy. Super fast with the flex volt battery system and heavy duty for sure. Love it

Two batteries last me all day and it’s flexvolt so you will have the corded power too.

Very solid made tool, and I would give the saw itself a 4 star rating. For the price I would of like to of seen the ability to screw in a second handle in multiple places on the saw for comfort. I would also like to see a laser pointer attached to the top when working in darker places the light is nice a laser would be better.Why I’m giving it an average rating – I’ve used other cheaper reciprocating saws with much less battery specs that seem to have the same amount of cutting time. Almost to the ridiculous seeing that this is a brand new set up and I can’t make it to lunch without needing a new battery. Buy the kit but get a lemon of a battery

Hands down great buy this is my second one , I am a contractor and I work my tools hard and this is my battery line. Easily has more power than my corded sawzall with way more convenience. Would reccomend any of the 60 volt products.

This bad boy is a little heavy but the battery lates for a long time. Has the power of a corded saw without a cord!! Love it!

We’ve been running this for almost a year and its got so much power. Our only issue is the lack of a 4 way adjuster and a rafter hook!! Otherwise it’s a great tool. If the rafter hook is added it would be nice if it can be purchased and added on to the older style.
