Yesterday post about the new Bosch 18V compact reciprocating saw had me thinking about other brand’s models.
Over at Amazon, their $25 off $100+ Dewalt Holiday promo is still going strong. Right now, thanks to the promo, you can get a Dewalt DCS387B 20V Max compact reciprocating saw, for just $94. This is for the bare tool, although the kit with 5Ah battery is also on sale.
This Dewalt compact cordless reciprocating saw first came out a year ago, and shares the same basic geometry and ergonomics as the corded version that came out in early 2012.
I don’t think I’ve tried the cordless version of this saw, but user reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive. At Amazon, one reviewer complained about excess vibration, but maybe his was a fluke occurrence.
As of the time of this posting, 82% of the 81 reviews gave it 5 stars, and 12% gave it 4 stars, with only 6% giving it 3 stars or less. 4.8 out of 5 overall is an unusually high rating for even well-recommended power tools.
The current price is $119, minus $25 at checkout, for a final price of $94. The 1-battery kit is priced at $201 after Holiday promo discount.
