User questions & answers

Question:	what battery and charger do I need to make this brick run
Answer:	Any of the 20 volt batteries will work. I bought 2 5 amp batteries for it. But it will work with the 1.5 ones as well. Great sawzall. Any of the dewalt 20v chargers will work.
Question:	how much is a battery
Answer:	You can use either DCB200 (3.0 Ah) or DCB204 (4.0 Ah) Batteries with this saw. The batteries are between $99 to $119 for a 2-pack currently. If you do not already have the saw, a kit with battery/charger included with purchase may be your best option. Take a look at Models DCS380M1 or DCS380P1 for full kits.
Question:	What blades are compatible? i see dw4856, dw4890, dw4892 and dw4898 etc. sorry for the dumb question. i am a complete newbie
Answer:	All those blades are compatible :) Thanks for asking.
Question:	I'm debating between this (compact) saw and the standard 20v recip saw. How much would 100 less spm affect the performance? Advice appreciated
Answer:	I get this saw onto places that I never thought I would ever get a recip saw. The places this saw goes and works I don't even notice any difference. I would trade off even more spm's if needed to get a saw like this. I've used others like this and they all have jammed up on me. I do work my tools extremely and I mean extremely hard and will probably burn this one out eventually but anything that can stay together under my use is a worthy tool.

User questions & answers

Question:	I assume the pivoting shoe allows you to cut downwards, or to turn the blade 90 degree to cut sideways ? Is this correct
Answer:	Yes, that would be correct
Question:	does this saw have safety feature that cuts out without enough amperage
Answer:	This saw is powered by a battery and will cut off once the battery dies.
Question:	Will this saw efficiently cut black iron pipe
Answer:	Yes with the right blade. 12-18 teeth per inch (TPI) should do it. Better method would be a portable band saw if available, but this will hack and whack black iron/carbon steel pipe.
Question:	Why in home Depot this saw is cheaper
Answer:	I saw this at home depot they wanted 149.00 plus tax

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will one of Dewalt’s 1.3 ah batteries run this saw
Answer:	4.0
Question:	Does this dewalt compact model dcs367 (p1) have an adjustable shoe
Answer:	I've never used it on galvanized pipe. But I wouldn't hesitate depending on the blade I would have in it.
Question:	In the Technical Details section, it states that two batteries come with this saw. Is that the case
Answer:	I own all 4. The m12 fuel and standard and the m18 fuel and standard. The m12 fuel is my favorite. I am a plumber and use it everyday. The m12 fuel has almost as much power as the standard m18. I rough a house with foam core pipe and use the m12 fuel to cut the pipe up to 3”. 4” and larger I use the fuel m18. The standard 18 is not worth buying and only keep the standard m12 on the van for very tight spaces if the fuel doesn’t fit, which is maybe once a year. And with Milwaukee fuel having a standard 5 year warranty, it’s the best. They even pay shipping both ways. They repaired my hammer drill for free even though it was over 5 years old

User questions & answers

Question:	Brush cutting
Answer:	I would not buy this for Brush cutting. The battery is only 12 volt which makes it very inconvenient with all my other 20 volt 60 volt Max batteries. That being said it doesn't last long. The power is decent.. It's small and that's what it does ...small jobs especially with his 12 volt battery. It's really used to fit it smaller areas a saws all can't fit. The Milwaukee saw like this one. is much better and more powerful I would recommend that one
Question:	will.this take a jigsaw blade
Answer:	The ones I tried will not work. It definitely looks like it could but no joy.
Question:	Que modelo de batería se usa ? O que voltaje
Answer:	The DCS312B uses the batteries in the DEWALT 12V line. The DCB124 would work with this unit.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does the bare saw weigh
Answer:	I am not sure in pounds maybe 6 or 7 but I am close to 70 years old and can easily handle it 1 handed fo a couple of hours.
Question:	is this good for cutting metal
Answer:	It good for cutting just about anything; however, I find that it vibrates more than it should and sometimes go back to using my corded one..... really hard on the arms & shoulders the real trick is to make sure you are using the correct blade.
Question:	Does it come with (2) 5.0 batteries
Answer:	Includes (1) DCB205 battery
Question:	Is there a difference between this model and the dewalt dcs387b 20-volt max compact reciprocating saw? difference
Answer:	Yes. The "B" on the end of the model means Bare tool (no battery). The "P" on the end is the model that is bundled with their 5.0 Amp Hour battery (longest lasting). Some of their tools have an "L" or "M" on the end of the model and include a 3.0 or 4.0 battery. The ones with batteries also include charger. If you need more batteries or a charger, then the bundles are better than buying everything separate.

What's in the box:

Compact and Convenient

The DWE357 combines the best of two worlds—power and precision with compactness and control—making it an innovative must-have power tool for general and mechanical contractors, demolition specialists, electricians, HVAC professionals, and other residential and commercial construction professionals. Whether you’re working in a tight space, reaching overhead to cut material, or working in a generally challenging area, the DWE357 is the ideal reciprocating saw for the job. Weighing just 6.8 pounds and measuring just 14.5 inches in length, the DWE357’s compact size allows users to make strong, quick cuts in confined spaces, like under sinks, in corners, and between rafters. Users can get into tight spaces on the job site to quickly and cleanly cut through metal, wood, plastic, drywall, composites, fiberglass, and more.

Powerful and Efficient

Just because it’s small, though, doesn’t mean the DWE357 doesn’t pack a punch. With a 12-amp motor capable of delivering 0-3,000 strokes per minute (SPM) with a 1-1/8-inch blade stroke length, it also comes equipped with a keyless lever-action four-position blade clamp to place the blade in vertical or horizontal configurations. The ergonomic handle with overmolded grip provides additional comfort over long run times on the job; it also decreases vibration and increases control and balance. The pivoting shoe offers leverage to efficiently cut through materials, especially in flush-cutting applications. Delivering a big impact in a small package, the DWE357 is the perfect addition to your tool collection for both professional jobs and DIY projects.
