Is the DeWalt 20V MAX Reciprocating Saw worth it?

It is a solid choice if you already own 20V MAX batteries, since the bare tool is the only cost. New buyers should add the price of a battery and charger before comparing.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. This is a bare tool, so no battery or charger is included. You need a DeWalt 20V MAX pack and charger.

How does it compare with the DeWalt FlexVolt recip saw?

The FlexVolt saw is larger and more powerful for heavy demolition. This 20V MAX model is lighter and cheaper and handles most framing, pruning and pipe cuts.

With the right blade it cuts wood, plastic pipe, metal conduit and nail-embedded lumber. The orbital action suits rough cuts; use a finer blade and lower speed for cleaner work.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the pack and material. A 5.0Ah pack handles most short jobs; expect heavy demolition cuts to drain smaller 2.0Ah packs quickly.

Bare-tool prices drop during holiday sales and when kits are bundled. Watch the price history rather than buying at list price.

It uses an orbital cutting action, which speeds up rough cuts in wood and demolition work. No battery or charger is included, so the cost depends on whether you already own 20V MAX packs.
