DeWALT 20V MAX Cordless Compact Reciprocating Saw (Tool Only) by DeWALT is engineered for professionals and tradespeople who need a nimble, powerful cutting tool that performs in tight quarters. At just 14 in. in total length, this cordless reciprocating saw slips between studs and into confined spaces where larger saws simply cannot go - making it an ideal solution for demolition, remodeling, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work. Powered by the 20V MAX Lithium Ion battery system and capable of up to 2,900 strokes per minute, it delivers fast, efficient cutting through metal and other materials without the restriction of a power cord.

Key Features

• Compact 14 in. total length and lightweight construction - fits between wall studs and reaches into confined spaces where standard reciprocating saws cannot, reducing repositioning time and physical strain on the user.
• 4-position blade clamp with tool-free blade changes - rotates the blade to four distinct orientations including flush-cutting position, giving the user maximum versatility across a wide range of cutting applications without needing additional tools on the job site.
• 1 1/8 in. stroke length - delivers aggressive, fast cutting speed through metal and other materials, helping users move through cuts more efficiently and complete jobs faster.
• Variable-speed trigger with 0-2,900 SPM range - provides precise blade control for delicate finish cuts as well as full-power aggressive cutting, all from the same trigger pull.
• Integrated bright LED work light - illuminates dark work areas such as wall cavities, crawl spaces, and low-light job sites, improving visibility and cut accuracy without a separate flashlight.
• Pivoting shoe - adjusts to maintain consistent blade contact with the workpiece, improving cutting efficiency and extending blade life across different material thicknesses.
• D-Ring handle design - provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended use, reducing fatigue and improving control during demanding cuts.
• Compatible with the full DeWALT 20V MAX battery and charger lineup - integrates seamlessly into an existing DeWALT cordless tool system, eliminating the need to purchase additional battery platforms.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for confined-space cutting - the 14 in. compact frame gets into spaces between studs and around tight structural areas where a standard-length reciprocating saw would be blocked, making it the right choice for interior remodeling and rough-in trades work.
• Tool-free 4-position blade clamp eliminates downtime - switching blade orientation or swapping blades requires no additional tools, so users can change cutting direction or replace worn blades quickly and get back to work without interruption.
• Variable speed from 0 to 2,900 SPM puts the user in control - whether making a careful plunge cut near existing wiring or powering through metal conduit, the trigger-variable speed range matches cutting power to the task at hand.
• Part of the DeWALT 20V MAX ecosystem - if a DeWALT 20V MAX battery and charger are already in use on the job site, this bare-tool purchase allows the user to add a capable compact reciprocating saw without duplicating battery investments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the DCS387B come with a battery and charger?

No. The DCS387B is a bare tool, meaning it includes the reciprocating saw only. A 20V MAX Lithium Ion battery and a compatible DeWALT 20V MAX charger are required for operation and must be purchased separately.

How does the 4-position blade clamp work, and why does it matter?

The 4-position blade clamp allows you to orient the blade in four different directions without using any additional tools. This is particularly useful for flush cutting along a flat surface or repositioning the blade to reach into an awkward angle in a confined space, adding significant versatility compared to a fixed single-position clamp.

Is this saw compatible with other DeWALT 20V MAX batteries I already own?

Yes. The DCS387B is part of the DeWALT 20V MAX platform and is compatible with all DeWALT 20V MAX batteries and chargers. If you already own 20V MAX batteries from other DeWALT tools, they will work with this saw, making it a cost-effective addition to an existing cordless tool system.

Can this reciprocating saw be used in low-light or dark work areas?

Yes. The DCS387B features a built-in bright LED work light that illuminates the cutting area directly. This is especially useful when working inside wall cavities, crawl spaces, or other dim job site environments where visibility is limited.
