DeWalt DCS389X2 FlexVolt Reciprocating Saw Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL SAWZALL 2821-22

Buy the DeWalt DCS389X2 if you cut heavy steel, cast iron or concrete forms and want corded-class power without a cord. Buy the Milwaukee 2821-22 if you want a lighter, more maneuverable saw for demolition, plumbing and everyday jobsite work. The DeWalt has the higher power figure and longer stroke; the Milwaukee has the longer track record with owners and a wear-resistant blade change. Both are brushless, both are pro-grade, and both are well rated.

• Choose the DeWalt DCS389X2 if you need maximum cutting power and long runtime on heavy material, and you already own or plan to own FLEXVOLT batteries.
• Choose the Milwaukee 2821-22 if you want a lighter saw with a proven blade change and you are already on the M18 platform.
