- Is this saw good for cutting pipe and conduit?
- Yes. The compact body and one-handed grip make it well suited to pipe, conduit and PVC in tight spots. Use a fine-tooth blade for clean cuts.
- Can it cut through thick lumber?
- It can, but the short stroke makes it slower than a full-size reciprocating saw. For repeated cuts in thick beams, a full-size saw is the better tool.
- What battery does it use?
- It runs on DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries and ships with a 2.0Ah compact pack. Larger packs give longer runtime but add weight.
- Does it change blades without a tool?
- Yes. The blade clamp is tool-free, so you swap blades by hand.
- How does it compare with a full-size DeWalt recip saw?
- It is smaller, lighter and easier to control one-handed, but has a shorter stroke and less power. It complements a full-size saw rather than replacing it.
- What is in the box?
- The saw and one 20V MAX 2.0Ah battery. A charger and blades are not included.
- Where is the Dewalt ATOMIC 20V MAX Cordless Brushless Compact Reciprocating Saw and 1 20V MAX Compact Lithium-Ion 2.0Ah Battery cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $298.00, as of our latest check.
