Metabo HPT CR18DAQ4 Reciprocating Saw vs DEWALT 60V MAX Brushless Reciprocating Saw Kit

Buy the Metabo HPT if you want a small, light saw for one-handed work in tight spots, like under cabinets or in crawl spaces.

The Metabo HPT is the more versatile trim tool, with a 2.9 lb body, a 13.8 in length and the ability to run jigsaw blades as well as recip blades. The DEWALT is the heavier, stronger saw, with a 1-1/8 in stroke and 1,874 unit watts out, and its owners rate it slightly higher.

• Choose the Metabo HPT if you want a light one-handed saw for tight spaces, overhead cuts and mixed recip and jigsaw blade work.
• Choose the DEWALT if you need maximum cutting power and long runtime for demolition, framing and heavy jobsite use.
