- Does the DCS386B come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a 20V MAX battery and charger, or a kit that includes them.
- How does it compare with the DCS380?
- The DCS386B adds a brushless motor and a pivoting shoe for flush cuts. The DCS380 is older and usually heavier on brushes.
- Can it cut metal and PVC pipe?
- Yes. With the right blade it handles wood, metal, PVC and demolition work; the variable-speed trigger helps start clean cuts.
- Is it a one-handed saw?
- No. At 7.7 lb and 13.75 inches long it is best used two-handed, especially overhead.
- What blades does it take?
- It uses standard reciprocating saw blades with a 1/2 inch shank, and the four-position clamp accepts them in several orientations.
