The DeWALT DC385 18V Heavy-Duty Cordless Reciprocating Saw - Tool Only is the perfect saw and suited for almost all small wood cutting jobs. The Dewalt cordless reciprocating saw has more power, more run time, cuts faster, and is easier to change blades.

The quick change feature works excellent and holds the blade very solidly. The only problem with this product is that this is quiet a heavy tool. This saw has got power to do the job but is not suited for continuous work as it has very solid construction, you are bound to get tired or fatigued if using it constantly.

The best feature by far is the 4-position quick-release chuck/collet. It allows you to select the usual "up" and "down" blade orientations, of course, but also "left" and "right" ones. The latter two positions really come into their own when flush cutting up against another surface because they place the blade so close to the edge of the shoe/body of the saw.
