Our review of DeWalt's new 20V recip - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isWVapmineDGYqc.html

This should be a model for how all reviews are done. I wish they were all done like this. Thanks for the info! Subscribed.

hey, just wanted to let you know, this video is still helpful almost 2 years later...

Thank you for a clear, concise, and unbiased review. I wish more reviews were done this way.

As with other comments, this is the way how reviews should be done. Concise, to-the-point, key-info, side-by-side, straight-forward and right on the nose (of the question at hand). No extra BS, advertisement, or unnecessary commentaries. Just get to the point. Well done!!

4 years later and still a great review. Thanks a lot I couldn’t decide between the compact or 60v so I got both haha

Awesome back-to-back vid! I find that looking at the spec sheets shows all the saws to be damn near identical , so these performance vids really help differentiate.

Finally a video review that is to the point and shows the product at work... thanks for helping me make a buy! Good vid

Great review. I still use my 20V compact reciprocating and I love it because of the size. I myself, had a corded saw and I would never go back to it. Maybe one day, Dewalt will release a COMPACT 60V reciprocating saw.

I am 6 months in on my HVAC apprentice ship, and this review impressed me. (Very picky on reviews.) The saw by saw competition is something I would like to see on all tools. I subscribed.

Great review. Very clear and composed, I wish more videos were done like this.

Thank you for the comparison. Looking forward to get the DCS367! :-D

Excellent review and relevant information! I was struggling between these three and you just helped me decide.

Good review, short and to the point! Now going to buy the compact as I've not seen and flex volt models here.

Exactly the video I’m looking for. Thank you!

Very clear comparisons and showed everything I needed to know. Excellent video

Thank you! This is exactly the review I needed!

Brilliant review, well done, covers the bases, concise & to the point.

Here I am in 2021 still very happy I watched this first. Thank you for your service.

The exact review I was looking for! Got the brushed 20v for my birthday today. Thinking about returning it and paying the extra to get the xr brushless compact!

Great video. All reviews should include the good, the bad and the ugly. Interesting findings and conclusion. Very much appreciated!

Exactly what I wanted, great video, great work

Nicely done video. Surprised how well the old brushed one did. Had me convinced for a bit there to go that direction until I watched to the end. I think the weight and getting into tight spaces is a pretty big advantage for the XR compact, plus reciprocating saws really eat batteries.

I love this no-nonsense review! Subscribed

thanks for the review was trying to decide which to get

Thank you for a practical demonstration that helps.

Excellent comparison of Dewalt reciprocating saw. Thank you !

I do plumbing and electrical using the 20v compact and haven't had a stall yet. Cutting mostly PVC but also large cast small metal pipe and random wood from time to time. Hasn't stalled yet. Great little saw. Goes great with a 5amp battery

ty for the demonstration and taking the extra time to make it clear. subbed.

Awesome Video Helped me make up my mind!! This is how all comparison vids should be done!!

I went with the compact and the 9ah flexvolt battery. Never looked back. The corded has been moved from the truck to the garage. Nothing beats not having to run miles of cord for a cut.

Got a sub from me. Thanks for the no nonsense detailed regular review. Exactly what I was looking for.

My HF 6 Amp recip saw I felt did well cutting through 2 3/4inch plywood that was glued together.

Awesome video. Right to the point, clear and concise. Now, off to order my new saw...

Amazing review, extremely helpful!

That was exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed.

Great clear understanding review.

Thank you, I love this video! It has been truly informative and given excellently.

Great review and comparison! Thanks

Perfectly executed review thank you!

Excellent video man. 10/10 subscribed.

Thanks for the review.

Thanks bro, This video was straight to the point. I appreciate that.

I enjoy my compact, it’s been a beast.💪🏼

@toolrev first video I've seen of yours and wow. Possibly one of the best tool reviews or just reviews in general I've ever seen. Nothing but facts and no bs. Hell everyone who reviews anything should watch this and take cues on how to do a review. Subbed

Great review pleased with ur results too

I've got the compact xr and it does the jobs I need. Free battery from acme tools when I bought it

Great review, thanks!

I work in hvac and the compact is a beast I can easily cut out all boot supplies and returns on a single 5amp battery. Well worth the money!!

HA i love how you just put "What?" on the makita. Made me crack up.

I have the dewalt xr compact recip, it's a beast for automotive work compared to my old giant corded dewalt recip saw

Excellent review. Thank you!

Flexvolt is the bomb. I have them all except the table saw and I have 10 batteries. The cords haven't come out of the van for 6 months.

No BS, just a great review!

Great video, very useful and to the point.

This is how reviews should be. Thanks for the comparison. Keep going!

Wow, great review! This looked professional, like a produced television show, really great presentation. Thank-you, your info really helped me make a purchasing decision.

Sick review, thanks!

Nice review!

What I got out of this is that I definitely need the compact and I should also pick up the flex volt in case I need the xtra power

Great review, have helped me make the choice, thanks!

Just bought my compact brushless today, cant wait to get to the job site Monday to start using it. I do wish It had a rafter hook though. I might rig one up on it somehow

Great compare

That was really helpful - thanks !

This was excellent and you saved me from buying the worst of the bunch thank you so much

Excelent video. Strait to the point. Exactly what I wanted to know before buying. Thank you for helping me make up my mind!

Спасибо. Thanks. Very usefull!!!

perfect review, for a weekend warrior noobs the 20V with a 4Ah was available for $139 at Grainger

Great info! Thanks for not trying to be a comedian.

thanks for the info. great video

Great review! Dewalt should hire the guy!

Thanks, only thing missing from this video is the wonkey background music that so many others have, and you didn't show us how to open the box. (That was sarcasm) thanks for a great video. I think I'll error on the side of the 60v.

Exactly what I needed, thanks

Thank god a short and too the point review excellent job! Another subscriber you just got! Thank you

Excellent review

Thanks Bro, you made a great video

I'm surprised you don't have more subs

Well done. Exactly what the title suggests and it didnt take an hour of my time to give me the facts

Thanks, very informative

Great vid bro I really enjoyed it

Great review

Great Review

Thanks

What a great review top job from here in Ireland

Just bought the Flexvolt. Its bad ass.

Wow...this is a review. Good job sir! I think dewalt should sponsor you.

thank you for your help

Thks mate for the review, was great. Can you make a Dewalt circular saw review....20v, flexvolt and other from the competition? TIA. Matt

Just picked up the dcs389x2 on account that my craftman 20v brushed motor reciprocating saw literally let the smoke out and just about caught fire after some pretty mild use if you ask me. It was a little over 4 years old but it never saw any real use so i was bummed it gave out on the middle of my demo project tearing down my shed. At first i thought it was a dead battery causing it to fuss so o slapped a fresh one on and it was good for about 5 seconds before it did what it was doing before which was a sort of glitchy thing where ot would cut out and then very slow very weak reciprocations then cut out again. It was around 102 out and it felt warm but nothing crazy. Then it started crackling and popping and shooting sparks out of the vents 😬 it smelled like burning electronics. I knew it was cooked. I'm hoping this new DeWalt lasts me much longer and i actually get my $480 worth out of it because i don't think i got my moneys worth out of that craftsman

Thanks for this comparison. Good job. Much appreciated. I'm trying to decide on something for use as an electrical apprentice. I like the features of the Dewalt compact recip. But I'm also looking at the Milwaukee M12 Hackzall. I've heard on some other review/test channels that the Dewalt compact recip. is pretty unwieldy; lots of vibration given it's power and light weight/small size. What do you think? I'm also wondering if it could be used one handed to cut EMT etc. Thank you.

good info cheers

Well done. Subscribed.

Agree with everyone a well done review, though it could use more T&A to give it that modern "edge".

The smoothest operation of almost any recip saw is the older Ridgid GenX-4. When I demonstrate Milwaukee Fuel VS Ridgid GenX-4 everyone is shocked by how much quieter, smoother and so much less vibration with the Ridgid. Milwaukee fuel by comparison almost vibrates out of your hands and is so noisy you need hearing protection. With tools the excess noise and vibration is wasted energy, sucking the battery down faster.

Great job on this. I really just wanted to know the 60v flex compared with the 20v battery on the same flex volt sazall.

To be clear, I prefer the heavier 60 volt. It's in a different class than Dewalt's 20 volt units.

I have the dewalt compact but I am looking into a second one, and I think i might get the Milwaukee fuel just because I like the rafter hook.

You had a great review , as so many others have already said . You had all the detail on weights , top speeds , vibration ,.lights , ease of blade changes , etc. ( Could you also add the times in the future ? I would like to know how many seconds/minutes that a task takes. )

If you need the best Recip, buy Milwaukee. The best DeWalt is that compact, the Flexvolt is just heavy and awkward. I use the multi blade position all the time on the DeWalt and love the quick blade change.
