DeWALT DC385K 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: DeWalt DC385K 18volt Cordless Recip Saw
Comments: The saw price thru Amazon in KIT was a great price [saved shipping] even over Ebay. Ran the saw thru about 6 discharges then a 24hr balance charge. well built unit. If you do a lot of cutting a xtra battery is necessary. Plenty of power to the ovious discharge. GREAT blade cuppler. Worthwhile tool to own. |

Summary: powerful and light
Comments: The saw is powerful and will cut thorugh a lot.
Of course the battery drain is according to its power - it will drain quick if you load it a lot, however that's rather a great sign.
I purchased it during a sale when they gave me a free extra battery. When using it intensively I would have 4 batteries, 2 charging a 2 with me.
It is rather light, not too noisy and the vibrations are ok.
Make sure you get the "type 2", not the "type 1"

Summary: For short bursts only.
Comments: I purchased this to work on a remodel on a house for a friend. The 90 degree rotating head came in handy several times and I was glad to have the feature. I run all of my tools off DeWalt's 18v batteries and I was lucky that I had4of them when I went to the job site. This tool eats the batteries!! I use to install garage doors and could install2full-size doors on1battery using my hammer drill, however this tool kills a battery in 10-30 minutes of use. With3batteries charging and1in the tool, I was able to keep a rotation and get jobs done with no waiting around, however it was close.
The head unit would get hot, not unreasonable and with gloves I did not even notice.
If you plan to purchase, just have extra batteries around or lose the portability and get a corded one. It works great, however do not expect miracles. |

Summary: Saw
Comments: Its awesome, still works no problems. Its tough and the battery lasts a long time.
Its Dewalt, so you could drop it from a ladder and it will still work. Just make sure your over grass when you do drop it. |

Summary: great tool
Comments: i have used1of these tools for about5years. i have had the same tool, however many batteries. i use it and lend it all the time. we often use it to cut pipelines that still have a lot of water in them, so this thing gets wet and muddy all of the time. so far i couldn't be happier with my dewalt cordless saw. i must have for a pipeliner. |
