- Is the DeWalt DCS389X1 powerful enough to replace a corded reciprocating saw?
- For most demolition, framing and pipe cutting, yes. The 60V motor and 1-1/8 inch stroke at 3,000 spm deliver corded-class cut speed, though a corded saw can run indefinitely without battery changes.
- How does it compare with DeWalt's 20V reciprocating saws?
- It is more powerful and has a longer stroke than the 20V models, but it is heavier and uses the larger FlexVolt batteries. The 20V saws suit lighter work and overhead use better.
- How long does the 9.0Ah battery last?
- Runtime depends on the material, but the 9.0Ah FlexVolt pack is one of DeWalt's largest and handles extended cutting sessions. The kit includes only one battery, so a spare helps on all-day jobs.
- Does it accept standard reciprocating saw blades?
- Yes. It uses standard reciprocating saw blades with a tool-free clamp, so any common brand of blade fits.
- What is in the box?
- The saw, one 9.0Ah 60V FlexVolt battery, a charger and a hard carrying case.
- Can I use other DeWalt 60V batteries in it?
- Yes. It runs on the DeWalt 60V FlexVolt battery line, so other packs in that range fit, though smaller packs reduce runtime.
