DeWalt DCS389X2 FlexVolt Reciprocating Saw Kit vs Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL

Both are brushless, 3,000 SPM class saws with strong owner ratings, so the split comes down to platform and kit. The DeWalt DCS389X2 is the heavier, higher-output tool with a 1-1/8 in stroke and two 9.0Ah FLEXVOLT batteries, which suits crews cutting steel, cast iron and concrete forms all day. The Milwaukee 2722-21HD SUPER SAWZALL is lighter, has a 1-1/4 in stroke, an adjustable shoe, an anti-vibration system and an electric brake, and it carries far more owner ratings. Pick Milwaukee for one-handed framing and demolition comfort; pick DeWalt if you already run FLEXVOLT and want maximum power.

• Choose the DeWalt DCS389X2 if you already own 60V MAX FLEXVOLT batteries, cut heavy steel or cast iron, and want two big batteries and a fast charger in the kit.
• Choose the Milwaukee 2722-21HD if you want a lighter, smoother-cutting saw with an adjustable shoe, an electric brake and the deepest M18 battery ecosystem.
