DeWalt DCS380N-XJ 18V XR Li-Ion Reciprocating Saw Bare Unit

When demolition starts, precision matters just as much as power. The DeWalt DCS380N-XJ 18V XR Reciprocating Saw is built for demanding site conditions — whether you’re cutting through timber joists, slicing steel pipe, dismantling stud walls, or stripping out old installations.

Powered by DeWalt’s 18V XR lithium-ion platform, this cordless recip saw delivers up to 2,950 strokes per minute, providing aggressive cutting performance across a wide range of materials. The 560W power output ensures consistent performance under load, making it suitable for heavy-duty trade applications including plumbing, electrical, roofing, and general construction work.

Engineered for Control and Versatility

The intelligent variable speed trigger allows precise control during plunge cuts and delicate work, while the electronic motor brake quickly stops the blade for added safety between cuts. A lock-off switch further enhances worksite safety during transport and storage.

One of the standout features is the four-position blade clamp, which enables flush cutting and improved access in tight spaces — ideal when trimming pipes against walls or cutting framing timber close to surfaces. Blade changes are quick and effortless thanks to the lever-action keyless blade clamp, reducing downtime on site.

The pivoting adjustable shoe improves stability during cutting and helps extend blade life by allowing users to alter contact points. Its open-top design also enhances blade visibility for more accurate cuts.

Cutting Capacities

Designed for versatility, the DCS380N-XJ handles a wide range of materials:

• Wood: up to 300 mm

• Steel sections & pipes: up to 130 mm

• PVC: up to 160 mm

This makes it suitable for everything from structural timber removal to metal conduit and plastic pipework.

Built for Jobsite Durability

With an improved ergonomic grip and balanced body design, the saw offers reduced fatigue during prolonged use. Weighing 2.7 kg (bare tool) and measuring 425 mm in length, it strikes the right balance between power and manoeuvability.

Supplied as a bare unit, it is fully compatible with the DeWalt 18V XR battery range, making it an ideal addition for users already invested in the XR platform.
