Product Description


Amazon.com Product Description
Able to cut through virtually any building material, anywhere on the job site, the cordless DEWALT DCS385L reciprocating saw is powered by DEWALT's 18-volt XRP lithium-ion battery for long-lasting power to get all your work done. This kit comes with one battery, a 1-hour charger, and a hard-sided kit box for storage and transport.

DCS385L 18-Volt XRP Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit At a Glance:
  • 1-1/8-inch stroke length and 0-3,000 SPM for faster cutting speed

  • Includes one XRP battery and 1-hour charger
  • Three-year limited warranty; one-year free service


Power and Performance
The contractor-grade DCS385L cordless reciprocating saw features a high-performance, variable-speed motor that drives the blade at 0-3,000 strokes per minute, with an aggressive-cutting stroke length of 1-1/8-inch. Use it with confidence for a wide range of building, remodeling and demolition work, such as, cutting rough openings through walls and roofs, slicing plastic pipe and metal ductwork, chopping up old kitchen cabinets and countertops, and slashing through hardwood flooring.

DEWALT's XRP Extended-Life Battery System
A tool's only useful if it runs long enough to get the job done, and the DEWALT XRP extended run time batteries keep the DCS385L running at full tilt. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard Ni-Cad batteries, and any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your system by adding other DEWALT cordless tools (sold separately) as the demands of your job grow.
The DCS385L comes with one 18-volt XRP battery and a 1-hour charger.
Warranty
This DEWALT tool is backed by three-year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase). It's also covered by DEWALT's one-year free service contract, where DEWALT will maintain the tool and replace worn parts caused by normal use--for free.

Customer Reviews


The dewalt DCS385L is very powerful. Great for any task you can throw at it, and the lithium ion battery lasts long and is more powerful than the standard nickel metal hydride or nickel cadium crap that you usually see. Lithium ion is not only more powerful, but it's smaller and lighter weight.
I get alot of usage out of it, and I only carry this case when I need it. I don't have to lug hundreds of tools around.
Batteries are excellent for being outside of a customers jobsite when you can't get access to power, and you only need the use the saw for an hour or so... Obviously, if you need to use a saw all day, it's better to get a plug in, but I can't always get power wherever I need, especially if I'm cutting out tree roots somewhere..
Overall, I have no complaints whatsoever. The saw is so powerful, it will rattle your arm/shoulder and all the way up to your head making your vision start to rattle, no joke. You can't focus your vision on how powerful this is, as your eyes start to shake... Don't forget, this is a cordless unit...

This does not last very long so if you had hopes of using it for demo work you should move along. I bought it to cut through two 24" galvanized culvert pipes that were partially under water. I couldn't use a corded tool because I'd electrocute myself. It took about 10-12 charges to make it through both pipes. It also has a weird rhythm. If you are cutting something that can vibrate it won't cut it at all. For instance, I couldn't cut the branches off of a Christmas tree. The saw would make the tree bounce and it wouldn't cut it. I had to get out my handsaw.
