DeWALT DCS384B 20V MAX XR Brushless Recip Saw, Tool Only

The DeWalt DCS384B is a 20V MAX* XR® Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw sold as a tool only — battery and charger are sold separately. DeWalt built it as its fastest-cutting 20V MAX reciprocating saw to date, aimed at demanding demolition and cutting applications on the jobsite.

A 1-1/8 in. stroke length and a brushless motor combine for fast, efficient cuts, with a rated output of up to 102 cuts per charge in 2x12 pine. The variable-speed trigger runs up to 3,000 MAX SPM (no-load), and a pivoting shoe adds contact points to help keep the saw stable and on-line in tough material.

Day-to-day usability features round out the tool: a keyless lever-action blade clamp for tool-free blade changes, a counterbalance mechanism to cut down on vibration, and an onboard LED to light up dim work areas. It's also Tool Connect Chip ready — the DCE042 chip (sold separately) lets it be tracked and managed through DeWalt's Site Manager app.

It's a fit for pros already running the 20V MAX battery platform who need a dedicated demo/cutting saw — framers, remodelers, plumbers doing rough-in work, and anyone regularly cutting through wood, nail-embedded lumber, or similar material on site.

DeWalt's Fastest-Cutting 20V MAX Recip Saw

If you're already running the 20V MAX platform and need a dedicated demo saw, the DCS384B's brushless motor and 3,000 SPM top speed make quick work of framing and rough demo.

• Who it's for: Pros on the DeWalt 20V MAX platform doing demolition, framing, remodeling, or rough plumbing who want a fast-cutting dedicated recip saw rather than a compact/general-purpose model.
• Why it stands out: DeWalt markets this as its fastest-cutting 20V MAX reciprocating saw, combining a brushless motor with a keyless lever-action blade clamp and a pivoting shoe for control in tough material.
• Worth knowing: This is a standard 20V MAX XR tool — it does not have POWER DETECT technology. POWER DETECT is a separate DeWalt feature found on tools like the 60V MAX FLEXVOLT DCS389B, not this saw. It also ships with only one wood-cutting blade, and battery/charger are sold separately.

• Does this come with a battery and charger? No. The DCS384B is sold as a tool only. Any DeWalt 20V MAX battery and charger will work with it, sold separately.
• What blade is included? One wood-cutting reciprocating saw blade ships with the tool. For metal or mixed-material cutting, pick up a separate blade.
• Is this a POWER DETECT saw? No. The DCS384B is a standard 20V MAX XR brushless reciprocating saw. POWER DETECT is a different DeWalt feature set found on other tools, such as the 60V MAX FLEXVOLT DCS389B.
• Does it work with the Tool Connect system? Yes. It's Tool Connect Chip ready — add the DCE042 chip (sold separately) to track and manage it in DeWalt's Site Manager app.
