Description of DEWALT DW938K 18 Volt Reciprocating Saw Kit
Delivering solid performance and serious convenience, DeWalt's heavy-duty, 18-volt reciprocating saw offers a keyless blade clamp for quick blade changes, a pivoting shoe with an open top for maximum visibility, a variable-speed trigger for blade control, and an electric brake. This is an accurate tool, and the grips--especially the front one--provide excellent user control. This reciprocating saw will reach up to 2,800 spm, and has a 7/8-inch stroke length. It weighs only 6.5 pounds, and because it's cordless, there simply isn't a better option for working in tight spaces or above your head. --Jonathon TudorTools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DW938K 18 Volt Reciprocating Saw Kit
Customer Review: Second cordless tool you should buy
Summary: 5 Stars
First, buy a decent drill/driver. Then, buy this. Don't know why I waited so long to get one (OK, because they're not free). Now that I have it, I absolutely love. A few comments about nifty features: (1) Excellent blade change system. The tool-free blade clamp is great. I know, you never bend or break blades and need to pull them off right away to keep up on a task, but I do. I really like not singeing my lunch hooks to have to do this. Turn it over, release the clamp and the blade falls out. (2) Trigger safety. Absolutely essential on cordless tools, and should be on all power tools. Very intuitive (like a gun, "red you're dead"). (3) Blade brake. This tool has made life much easy on smaller projects. When I only have a few small cuts to make (clipping a couple nails, cutting just one or two studs), this baby is *it*. No more running an extension cord and being tied to an outlet, then having to pack it all up two minutes later. Just grab the saw and go. It's also great for working up on ladders (no more kicking and waving the cord to free it off some obstruction) or in confined areas (think Foghorn Leghorn's hound at the end of a leash).
I've found it to have plenty of power for the average job. With a good blade, it's excelled at clipping nails. It's just fine for a few reasonable cuts in wood (fir 2x's, OSB). Having said that, if you're planning on demo'ing an entire fabricated wall of studs, sheathing and siding... grab the corded saw. This nifty little guy just doesn't quite have the guts for that. Even with plenty of batteries handy, you're not gonna make it. I found that under these conditions I was only getting about 90-120 seconds of run time from a freshly charge 18v.
But, that takes me back to my overall assessent. This is a great cordless tool, for convenience on reasonably sized jobs. I have yet to find any battery tool that will meet the guts of a corded tool. You trade the lighter weight and lack of umbilical for a bit of performance.
