DEWALT DCS382B 20V MAX Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw

The DEWALT 20V MAX XR® Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw (DCS382B)* delivers reliable cutting performance for demanding tasks across construction, renovation, demolition, and general jobsite work. Powered by a 20V MAX* lithium-ion battery (sold separately), this cordless reciprocating saw is designed with a brushless motor for longer runtime and higher efficiency. The saw’s 1-1/8 in. stroke length supports faster cutting through wood, metal, PVC, and drywall, while the variable speed trigger provides precise control over each cut. Lightweight and compact, it allows users to maneuver in tight or awkward spaces with minimal fatigue. Blade changes are quick and easy, improving jobsite productivity and reducing downtime.

This saw is ideal for professionals who need a reliable tool that can handle demolition, rough-in, and quick-cutting applications. The brushless technology not only reduces maintenance, but also extends tool life — making it a long-term asset for contractors, tradespeople, and industrial crews. Whether you’re working overhead, in crawl spaces, or from ladders, the cordless design means less hassle and more freedom to focus on the work.

For construction crews, this saw supports demolition tasks, framing adjustments, or cutting through fastened materials without cords getting in the way. Maintenance and facilities teams benefit from quick access and high portability for on-site repairs or emergency fixes. Utility and municipal workers can rely on its compact size and cordless power to make fast work of field modifications or removals.

It’s built for daily use and makes a difference where speed and access matter.
