Does it come with a charger?

No. The box has the saw and the 20V MAX XR 8.0 Ah battery pack. You need a DeWalt 20V MAX charger, which many owners already have from other tools.

It handles wood and metal, and the pivoting shoe helps it sit against different materials. With the right blade it also cuts plastic and drywall.

How does it compare with a corded recip saw?

It gives up unlimited runtime but frees you from an outlet. The brushless motor and 8.0 Ah pack keep it close to corded performance for most jobsite cuts.

Is it a one-handed saw?

No. It is a full-size, two-hand reciprocating saw. For tight spaces, DeWalt's compact one-handed recip saw is the better fit.

Which blades does it use?

Standard reciprocating saw blades with a 1/2-inch shank. Match the blade to the material: wood blades for lumber, bi-metal for metal.

Does the battery work with other DeWalt tools?

Yes. The 20V MAX XR 8.0 Ah pack fits the DeWalt 20V MAX line, so it can power drills, impact drivers and other tools on that platform.
