- Is the DCS387D1 good for cutting metal pipe?
- Yes. Its 1-1/8 inch stroke and 2,900 strokes per minute handle pipe and conduit well with the right blade. Use a fine-tooth metal blade and let the saw do the work.
- How long does the 2.0Ah battery last?
- Expect short runs, roughly a handful of cuts in lumber or pipe per charge. For all-day work, buy larger 20V packs or a bare tool and use your own batteries.
- Does it come with blades?
- No. The kit includes one 2.0Ah battery, a charger and a carrying case, but no blades. Buy wood and metal blades separately for the material you cut.
- Is it brushless?
- No. This model uses a brushed motor. DeWalt's brushless reciprocating saws run longer per charge and need less maintenance, but cost more.
- Will my other DeWalt 20V batteries fit?
- Yes. It uses the DeWalt 20V Max slide-on battery system, so existing 20V packs and chargers work with it.
- Can it cut through 4x4 lumber?
- It can, but slowly. The 1-1/8 inch stroke is short for thick stock; a full-size saw with a longer stroke is faster for repeated deep cuts.
