DO NOT BUY THIS DeWALT ATOMIC Reciprocating Saw (BIG PRICE SMALL POWER)

[@singletracksender9021]

I’m a plumber and I actually use this for work: For the price this is actually a great tool. It’s not as powerful as the m18 hackzall because it’s not even in the same class but it’s been my go-to saw since it came out on a daily basis. Skip whatever is going on in this video and just get one, if you want more power get the m18 hackzall, that’s as simple as this needs to be.

@@smperkins410 DeWalt 60v flexvolt tools have the power of corded electric. WS did a test, corded worm drive skilsaw vs. 60v worm drive saw and the cordless was nearly twice as fast at rip cuts. I have their 60v string trimmer, the low setting alone is more powerful than both my 25cc green weedeater and 31cc ryobi trimmer. I'm a believer in the power. The only problem is you're still limited to battery duration and extra 60v flexvolt batteries makes my wallet cry...

[@ledivinrs]

@@smperkins410 no what he meant is that vince is clearly a milwaukee fan and everything that isn't milwaukee is bad, these videos are 100% clickbait and the sad part in all of that is that vince should be 100% neutral not to bias every videos. I'm a dewalt fan and I have no problem saying that some of milwaukee stuff is better than dewalt vice versa, tho saying ''DO NOT BUY THIS ... DEWALT UNIMPRESSED ME'' is kinda stupid in my opinion

@@smperkins410 u do now tools have tech that will protect u from breaking ur arm. The only thing is in tougher jobs ur battery will run out and because of the heat, it will burn out more batteries just as fast if not faster. But now tools are way more compact with the same power. And try using a Corded tool with 0 power.

[@jay-rus4437]

As a renovations contractor I am loving the smaller tools that we tend to find useful day to day. Highly used tools are impact, oscillation saw, and 4-1/2” circular saw. We are simply finding that the heavier larger tools just aren’t necessary for the most part. Next add will be the 7-1/4” miter saw.

[@twowheeledsmurph]

I completely agree. I've been slowly transitioning to smaller tools. I still have larger, more powerful ones for some bigger jobs but 90% of the time - smaller is better.

The atomic runs smoother less vibration than the milwaukee compact recip saw. I work in singleply roofing and this tool is way better than than the res brand. Also we really don't need a heavy duty recip saw for cutting insulation and dens deck.

[@craighenry7915]

I'm a tinner and i love this saw for cutting hole in the roof for bathfan and vents.

[@montanawestphotography6671]

I disagree. This atomic saw has virtually no vibration and has been a godsend to my appliance installation work. The short stroke and smooth operation has proven to be superior when cutting in the exhaust hole in the wall behind over the range microwaves. We use it for everything on our install jobs and I will say it's actually perfect. We love the atomic line because the value is there.

[@VCGConstruction]

I’m glad it works for you, that’s what counts!

[@montanawestphotography6671]

@@VCGConstruction When punching through the 3x10 inch ducting located behind the sheetrock it sure is nice to have a short stiff blade and short stroke which guarantees I won't punch through the backside. And the almost non existent vibration makes it cut faster with no wall damage. Vibration makes a recip saw cut slow. This atomic saw cuts fast, clean, while retaining my teeth!

[@LCCJ82]

I agree. I’ve been loving the atomic saw for my work. I don’t do cuts like I’m in a race. I need cuts to be straight and I dont care if they take a few seconds more.

[@jorjdimitrov5076]

Which from both is better ?

[@iamking5103]

You sure seem to be very knowledgeable about short strokes. How are you going to complain about the tool standing up on the battery when you have 9 drill in the background doing that exact same thing. If anything this video convinced me to buy one. Also your title states not enough power. Please understand that this is a one handed tool which was mainly created for cutting things above your head. So if a person is seeking more power wouldn't you tell them to choose the DeWalt DCS367 reciprocating 2 hand saw?

[@ioannispantelidis6240]

The reason why in Europe the tools are 18V is because that a product in Europe must get a CE certificate instead of the UL equivalent in USA one. In order to get the CE certificate the item must not only be safe to use (that is what the UL guarentee and only guarantee that) BUT also to be described scientifically correct. Stict speaking the lithium cell is by definition 3.6V and when charged fully is 4.0 Volt. So 5 cells give 18Volt or 20Volt Maximum charge. So strickly speaking the battery is 18Volt and that is what the CE enforce to describe it as 18V.

[@hashiramasenju6058]

Im a plumber and my buddy has the milwaukee m12 hackzall and it comes in handy. This tool isnt designed to have a lot of power but for comfort and ease of use. When im cutting pvc, i have to hold the pipe in one hand and only have one hand to hold sawzall.

[@mylesmastersen3520]

J3tfuel I agree, I have the m12 fuel and it’s awesome. Perfect for cuts inside cabinets and other tight spots where a full size sawzall can be destructive.

[@coralreefer23]

I have the old 12v saw and still use it for light work in cabinets or working above my head on top of the ladder. I love the light weight, ability to get in tight places and controlablity. The 5/8 stroke is good for cutting sheetrock and not snagging romex behind. I also have the dewalt subcompact 20v for tougher stuff and a full size. Everything has it's purpose. I'm not going to compare this to a full size like some of y'all. I'll wait till the price drops on this or perhaps a 12v version comes out. I did try it out at a demo when it came out and liked the feel for fine work more that the Milwaukee. When I'm working in fine cabinetry control is more important than speed.

[@facundogarcia4816]

you're absolutely right that tool control is better than power when it comes to delicate material

[@djmidnightwolf]

I had to grab my m18 brushed Hackzall today with my pruning blade to trim a branch to get a Uhaul under. I've cut so many branches up into logs that the blade should be worn but the pain is off it and still cuts like butter. I grew to like the Milwaukee version even more after the TTR.

[@tinman1955]

I bought it. I like it. Not as powerful as the monster saws but there's a place for more precise, single-handed ergonomics. I like brute force monster tools too but there's places where compact has an advantage over monster.

[@jesssic476]

This is not the best one handed recip saw obviously. But I bleed yellow so I made a sacrifice buying this over investing in the fuel platform. After several big tree limbing jobs, i no longer regret it. This is the first tool that goes up the tree with me for pruning out smaller limbs. With a 9” fleam ground pruning blade( haven’t tried the carbide pruning blade yet but it might work better), this rips through smaller green limbs faster than the heavier arbor chain saw. My ability to move my body around in the tree is so much faster and more comfortable when I’m using this saw. Buy the fuel version if you already have m18

[@finneassblakley1927]

soooo Milwaukee biased not even a good review

[@slayerspam]

It's the right tool for precision especially metal where you ought to cut with more control and slower speed. It's good but doesn't replace a full sized one. I have both and carry them both with me everyday

[@MrDefyreality13]

by spec, the Atomic is definitely a lower tier dewalt product line. the XR being there bigboy tier. the upside to these little guys is the 5/8 stroke. that's the selling point. the larger ones have 1-1/8"+ stroke. now that's not a problem if you cutting into big deep cavities, or just saw-horsed panels. but if your trying to control a shallow cut, and keep the blade from smashing into something else in the hole (like sprinkler lines, electrical boxes, drains, water lines, block/brick etc...) the short stroke it very helpful. nobody likes bending the shit outta a blade, or snapping the tip off. especially a brand new blade. and with blade prices nowadays, not shanking them is a plus. honestly if your doing serious work/demo involving a receip-saw, your probably better off going hard with a 60v or corded model. these little guys are great to have in the tool bag, "in case shit" as not much is less fun than grabbing a receipblade with pliers to cut one damn little thing. rigid had my favorite short stroke corded. thing was so tiny, but amazing for shallow work if you had ac available.

The funny thing is the new Makita 40v is literally a 36v Nominal system just like there x2 but with a single battery they’re just being weirdos by calling it 40v and needlessly throwing marketing at a problem that doesn’t exist I assume they worried that 36v x2 customers would panic or it would look like they’re backpedaling by using a 36v Single battery system suddenly etc and...it does, only time will tell. Calling it 40v max to ME is like a sticker that says don’t worry, we aren’t trying to screw you, just your family. If voltage mattered to that degree Milwaukee 18v wouldn’t be kicking most 36 & 40v tools butts. That’s not a fanboy statement. I don’t want that to be true, but It is. Go look at all the higher voltage tools, most of them are still spec’ed below Milwaukee fuel’s numbers. That’s all she wrote.

Hi Vince, I just hope dewalt start making larger 12v ah batteries. If they're coming out with a 12v handsaw or circular saw then larger batteries should be used for those certain tools.

I Hope DeWalt is listening and will improve on their 12v line. Just my thoughts
