Variable-Speed Control for Fast, Accurate Cuts
A reciprocation saw mimics the back-and-forth motion of a handsaw that lets you quickly cut through wood framing, shingles, PVC pipes, and more. Plus a reciprocating saw fits into places where other saws can't go, making it a truly versatile addition to your professional tool kit.

This DEWALT reciprocating saw features a heavy-duty 10 amp motor and big 1-1/8-inch stroke length. This saw offers variable-speed control for application-specific performance, and it is capable of operating at speeds ranging from 0 to 2,800 spm.

Versatile, Convenient Blade Clamp Design
For versatility, the saw's four-position blade clamp allows you to choose the configuration that best matches your application. This unique feature gives you the ability to make flush cuts and put the blade in one of four different directions.

Fast, Keyless Blade Changes
When it comes time to switch to a different type of blade or replace a blade with a fresh one, the keyless lever-action blade clamp design allows for fast, easy blade changes--no special tools required.

Comfort Grip and No-Hassle Corded Power
Since comfortable handling contributes to better control and accurate cuts, this saw weighs an easy-to-maneuver 7 pounds and features a textured, anti-slip grip. The trigger provides easy access to variable-speed control.

A tool's only useful if it runs long enough to get the job done. This corded DEWALT tool eliminates the need to worry about recharging batteries or expensive replacement batteries.

This 10 amp reciprocating saw also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money back guarantee.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent homeowner saw, August 30, 2005

This review is from: DEWALT DW304PK 10 Amp Reciprocating Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great saw for the homeowner. That having been said, I might as well get rid of the negatives first. The only real negatives I've seen are:

(a) It's made in Mexico. I don't have much of a problem with this, but it might be a little jolting to some to buy the DeWalt name, just to find out the tool was not made in the US.

(b) It doesn't seem as heavy-duty as the Sawzall models. If I were a working carpenter depending on this saw day in and day out, I'd probably buy the Milwaukee. But for the typical homeowner like me, this saw seems perfectly adequate.

The positives:

(a) It seems to be a solid, well-built machine.

(b) The four-way blade chuck is a very nice feature. It's very handy for cutting in different directions. I believe that seasoned carpenters wouldn't need this feature as often, as they are used to using their saws every which direction. But, again, for us homeowners it's great.

(c) The price-performance is excellent. You'd have to pay twice as much to get a Sawzall with the capability in the previous item. I love tools, but I can't justify the extra expense given that I'll only use it now and then.

(d) It weighs about the same as the equivalent Sawzall model, and less than the Sawzall that lets you cut in different directions.

As somebody else noted, it only comes with one blade (a metal cutting one). So make sure you buy at least one more blade. If you're new at using a recip saw as I was, I'd recommend just buying the standard short DeWalt wood-cutting blade until you get used to using the saw. After that, go buy a 12" blade. You'll need that long blade, for example, for building a deck: for cutting through the centers of 6x6 timbers, because your circular saw won't reach all the way to the center.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent saw-very pleased, July 21, 2005

This review is from: DEWALT DW304PK 10 Amp Reciprocating Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

My first reciprocating saw...and a dandy for the average handyman who has often scratched his head and knuckles trying to figure out how in the world to make a particular cut. The Dewalt is sturdy, if a bit heavy. The power is adequate for everything I've encountered so far...wood, steel, etc. Nothing cleaver to learn how to use, no wrenches or screws to misplace when changing blades, just straightforward cutting. the drop-in blade clamp is simple and effective. It makes changing blades fast and certain. Dewalt only send one blade with the saw and it's a metal cutting blade, so to keep up with chores involving wood, you need to pick-up a variety pack of blades at the local hardware store. This saw is everything I would expect.

This review is from: DEWALT DW304PK 10 Amp Reciprocating Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've owned this saw a couple years now. It's done everything I asked it to do, it's had enough power to handle anything I've thrown at it, blade changing is a snap, it's a great tool, and very durable.

People keep comparing this to a Milwaukee, IMO generally speaking Dewalt tools are not as well made as Milwaukee, but you didn't pay a Milwaukee price for this saw either, y'all get what you pay for. Yes, I have a Milwaukee sawzall which I believe is better, but this Dewalt does something the Milwaukee doesn't, the 4 blade positioning comes in extremely handy especially when needing to make flush floor cuts.

I like this saw, glad I bought it, and recommend it to anyone.
