The DeWalt DCS387B is a compact 20V MAX cordless reciprocating saw sold as a bare tool. At 14 inches long it fits between studs and into tight spaces where full-size saws won't reach. It runs a 1-1/8 inch stroke at up to 2,900 strokes per minute with a variable-speed trigger, and the 4-position blade clamp allows tool-free blade changes. It suits remodelers, plumbers and electricians who already own DeWalt 20V batteries; buyers starting from scratch must add a battery and charger, which is the main trade-off against kits and against corded saws with more sustained power.
