DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage Cordless Reciprocating Saw DCS386

DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage Reciprocating Saw DCS386

Ever wish you could just pop a DeWalt 20V Max battery on a FlexVolt tool to get through the last few cuts instead of waiting for a charge? The DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage reciprocating saw is one of several tools that bridge the gap.


DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage Cordless Reciprocating Saw: The Big Deal

Technology headlines the DeWalt DCS386, giving it the ability to use both 20V Max batteries and 60V Max FlexVolt batteries. That in itself isn’t a big deal—all DeWalt 20V Max tools can do it.

What’s different is that when you switch to a FlexVolt battery, the tool gets a tremendous performance boost. Other 20V Max tools only see a slight bump and primarily benefit from longer runtime thanks to the higher capacity.

According to DeWalt, the saw gets up to 50% more power when you use a FlexVolt battery compared to a 20V Max 5.0Ah pack. That’s the kind of difference that makes it feel like you’ve switched to a different tool altogether, and it’s similar to what we’ve experienced with our FlexVolt Advantage hammer drill and circular saw.
