NEW DeWalt 20V Brushless Reciprocating Saw

[@toolrev]

Anytime you see people using weights to compare saw speed it's useless information. Each tool has its own sweet spot for how fast it can cut vs how much pressure you can apply. Some cut faster with more or less pressure than others. You've got to feel it.

[@Theloyalthic]

Toolrev, I gonna tell you something.

[@Theloyalthic]

I want saw.

[@ytklue]

It would be very interesting to see how this compares to the DCS368B

[@DavidRodriguez-me4ny]

Wonderful video I will go for the new Dewalt!

[@GeorgeChifa]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@throngcleaver]

Quick and to the point. Thank you!

[@michaela3330]

Love you videos. How this one compares to the 367?

[@toolrev]

Thanks, I like this over the 367. You can see the 367 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3enZ4Zog8h9rrs

The biggest thing in cordless tools must be to compare battery life? How much can I do with a 380 on a 5amp battery? Can cut a hundred or so small branches or can I only make a couple big cuts and it's done?

[@toolrev]

I’d guess you could cut over 100 2 to 3” branches on a five. Heat is the enemy of runtime so the longer the cut the less runtime. Usually cheaper to buy batteries in pairs.

Hey Alex, hope you're good. I bought my first Milwaukee tools this week. Here in the states I found (2) xc 6.0 plus a FUEL router for 258$ plus tax, no shipping 'cause the shop is close by... after I bought that, they immediately posted the same deal but with a FUEL grinder for the same price on a place called Grainger (SO tempted to get that grinder). I will sell the router maybe, and keep the batteries. The lowest I found the FUEL Multitool was 150$ off fleabay, and 35$ for a charger. I saw a video of a guy buying a brand new tool off Home Depot, but the batteries were over 3 years old, and he said Milwaukee refused to warranty them; hopefully it's a rare case.

[@ianthomas1201]

Hello Alex, I really need your opinion on my construction conundrum. I need to choose between Milwaukee, and Dewalt cordless line up to work alongside my various Makita cordless tools for my future. I began as a metal framer in Florida since 2005, and watching a window guy install door, and windows bucks with hundreds of Tapcons a day using a tiny Makita LTX impact, I went all in with Makita LTX 18V (brushed, and brushless), and my cordless tools all work to this day! I specialize in custom mansion designs now, but love buying tools, and want to try another line up under some conditions. I read that Makita batteries are designed to not be fully charged in order to get more charging cycles over their lifespan; not sure how this impacts quality, but my very old 2.0Ah batteries from 2008 still work to this day, and I used them quite a lot. I've never had to use Makita warranty (with one exception) on any of my tools made in the US for the old ones, few bought from Japan, or even the ones made in China for my most recent Makita tools. The only time I used their warranty was last year, when I bought a pair of 6Ah Makita batteries from eBay, and left them unused in their package on my garage for 5 months. When I tried to use them, they wouldn't hold a charge for long. When looking up their MD, they were from 2017, so I was out of their 3 year warranty, but I sent them to Makita anyway, and they sent me 2 brand new batteries to Florida very quickly! So quality, and warranty is more important than bells, whistles, and strength for me. That being said, one of my most used tools are my oscillating or multi tools... my original brushed Makita multi tools somehow never burned or smoked on me no matter how much I abused them, but their blade change mechanism sucked, so I bought the brushless when they came out, which are ok (they bogged down with fiberock dust), but even the lighter Dewalt equivalent had more balls than my Makitas multi tools, and few other tools as well. I still have a hunch that my Makita's tools will outlive these other line ups, but then again, that may just be my fanboy bias. I can afford either line up, but am aware how much more expensive Milwaukee can be at times. Milwaukee seems to have more options for plumbing, and more balls on most of their tools, but Dewalt seems to be killing it with their Powerstack batteries. Cordless tools I can't live without: Impact driver, 6 1/2" saw, SDS skinny hammer drill, multi tool, jigsaw, blower, grinders. Cordless tools I want to try out: table saws, pin nailers (heard Milwaukee first revisions sucked, but 2nd rev. are great), silent compressors (will Milwaukee's inflate a tire well? Drive a 3 1/4" nailer well?), High amp batteries, 7 1/4" miter saws dual bevels, 12" miter saws, chain saw, hedge trimmers, and obscure tools such as cordless chop saw a plumber used in front of me to cut a cast iron pipe, stack storage systems ( Milwaukee drawers are great to wheel around inside my medium roof van as shelves, but they are so expensive). So, which line up do you think would be best for me? Thank you for any help in advance!

[@toolrev]

Tough choice with all the great stuff coming out. From what you're telling me it sounds like Milwaukee would be a good second platform for you to carry. To start just for the gen 2 nailers and the M18 Fuel multi tool. DeWalt is coming out with a new 23GA nailer that looks like the Milwuakee so I assume they will be coming out with new nailers soon but why wait. I'm deep into DeWalt's platform but run the Milwaukee gen 2 nailers and M18 fuel multi tool. Out of the big three if you're going to carry two platforms, which most of us wind up doing, I'd say Red should be one of the two. For me it's about who has what you want now. For you it sounds like Milwaukee with the nailers, multi-tool, double bevel mini miter, etc. Makita and Milwaukee would make your van look like Christmas year round.

[@ianthomas1201]

@@toolrev LOL @ the Christmas thing. Thanks, I think that's what I'll do. I hope these tools last, or at least get good MF warranties. Can't wait to try out that Milwaukee multi tool.

[@toolrev]

You may already know this but you can branch out using cheap third party Makita to Milwuakee battery adapters. I ran the Milwaukee nailers and Multi-tool on DeWalt batteries for months before carrying any Milwuakee batteries. You can check out my article for more info on adapters if you're interested - www.toolrev.com/lets-talk-cordless-power-tool-battery-adapters/

[@ianthomas1201]

@@toolrev Hey that's pretty cool; I knew about the adapters, but knowing about the controllers inside the batteries I figured they were all pretty sketchy. Plus the few KZbin videos I saw about them were very generic. I wish your concise article were in video form.

[@Tightline_angler]

Can the 380 handle 6ah batteries? I see you’re only showing it with the 5ah batteries? Also can the 380 handle the new powerstack batteries?

[@toolrev]

The batteries you mention are made to work with all DeWalt 20V tools.

[@PatrickDG]

Its beast. I bought one w few months ago and damn lol

[@norys90]

Mine too

[@brianf9619]

That Recip saw gas been out for a few months now , BUT nobody is talking about it for some REASONS reason , Maybe because it's Only an XR ??? Thanks for showing it ....👍🖖

[@toolrev]

👊

[@Kbm1611]

How's it compared to the 367?

[@toolrev]

Sorry, for some reason all the comments on this video are getting held for review so I didn't see these until yesterday. From what I remember I'd go for this 382 over the 367. I'd say this has more power as it didn't stall where the 367 did in this review I did a few years ago - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3enZ4Zog8h9rrs but the 367 is a few inches shorter and fits between studs if you need that advantage. I think they weigh the same at around 5 lbs.

[@Kbm1611]

🙏 thanks.
