Great video, thank you. Noting you probably should have run the 1st metal test again for the DCS369 since you were holding the pipe in place with your index finger, so definitely not an apples-to-apples comparison. But takehome is that the DCS382 is at least 2x faster so that is good to see
Might get a power kick with an 8ah 20v or the 9ah Flexvolt batteries--not to mention the new 5ah Power Stack. That saw looks good for light-duty tasks. The older 367 is a bit bigger, way stronger, and vibrates lots. I'm like 40% Dewalt tools overall but 100% Milwaukee for one-handed recips.
Minimal power gain going from 3Ah with 21700s to a standard 5Ah and no noticeable difference going to the 6Ah with 21700s so I think it’s limit is around the 4Ah/5Ah mark. Milwaukee and now it looks like flex are really leading the recip saw market right now. This thing is nice as long as you’re okay with the speed but nowhere near the other brands. How’s the vibration on the Milwaukee one hand?
@@EngineersPerspective701 Vibration on the Milwaukee is def better than the older DeWalt recips (380, 367). Both the M12 and M18 Fuel models are great. I don't need another battery platform, but the Flex stuff looks beefy. Along with lots of Dewalt I have lots of Metabo HPT tools, which work fine for me. I don't even have the 36v HPT recip--which is right there at the top with M18, Makita XGT, Flex--but the old 18v brushless is fine. As for Dewalt, the 8ah and 9ah batteries are supposed to be the strongest (I have 5s and 6s, enough grunt for me), but probably won't make a major difference in performance. Happy Thanksgiving.
Toolbox buzz stated the DCS369 was the best for low vibration, I think the M18 Fuel Hackzall 2719 was #2 or #3 for vibration, but certainly more powerful
Purchased a battery/charger starter kit for $200 and got the sawzall for free. Returned the starter kit and got $100 back. So saw was only $100. My local Home Depot has heavily cracked down on this lately though. I haven’t done a “hack” in a while because of that
Probably the lightest safest thing to use when cutting green limbs high up in a tree. And join the rest of the world. Metric is easier. In the UK we have had both systems since the 1970s so we have the experience.
Really like it for the tree trimming and I suppose it probably is safer than even those little electric chainsaw “Hatchets”. Both systems have their pros/cons. I’m very used to working with both in my day job. However I did get a fastcap metric tape measure just a few days ago. Used it just for a handful of cuts so far.
Nice review....I just bought the Dewalt DCK283D2 20V XR cordless drill combo kit with the 2AH batteries. The set was $400 and was $150 off here in Canada. So I grabbed it to replace my old Dewalt 14V set. Now I'm looking for a saw like this DCS369. Do you think my 2AH batteries would work ok with this saw or do I have to upgrade to maybe the 4AH battery. It will only be used for light work around the yard trimming branches mainly and I do have 2 of these batteries if they die faster.
I’ve used it a lot for trimming branches and it works well especially for reaching when you’re on a ladder. The 2Ah will work okay but you’ll end up fighting branches with it. They’ll bind up the blade as you go so you have to use your offhand to support the branch. Not a massive deal but I would definitely recommend the bigger 4Ah or higher for max potential. It’s mostly a problem when you’re at heights. Honestly I always recommend having at least one higher end battery like a 6.0Ah for heavy duty tasks with your hammer drill or saw.
@@EyesRed sometimes Amazon has them for $65-$75 US which is as inexpensive as I’ve ever seen them by themselves. Not sure if you’ll get the same luck in the True North though
I have two Dewalt sawz-alls. One is the old style type that was the first 20 volt to come out. It vibrates a lot but it’s a very powerful saw and is unstoppable. It works as good as my old corded porter cable. I recently bought the Dewalt compact sawz-all with a brushless motor that is 20 volt and the motor is diagonal, fits in stud bays. It seems to be just as good at cutting as my older Dewalt with a brushed motor.
I need a small help here in my job i dont need this tool so much but sometimes i might need it all ny tools are dewalt and i dont think about the money but for a side tool that i rarely need it for my job i was thinking to go in parkside cause of the prize i mean i costs 50 euro and dewalt 140 euro now since all my tools are dewalt i have batteries and chargers and since i dont use parkside i will need the 8ah battery and a charger that will cost me around 160 euro anyway which one is better you think i wont use it for metal i have both the big and the small dewalt angle grinders
I don't know anything about parkside tools but if you don't have a reciprocating saw at all I would recommend something a little larger than the dewalt DCS369 as your first one so maybe the parkside is a better choice for you. However, you mentioned it would be a side tool so maybe the DCS369 would still be a good choice so that it doesn't take up much room in your bags for transportation or around the house.
@EngineersPerspective701 well yes you can use it also in house cut some branches and wood generally in my job the things I rarely cut in wood or plasterboard for a/c installation so I thing is enough
I use this thing everyday as a plumber but I can’t for the life of me get it to cut straight, it has blade wobble and I don’t know how to fix it. It cuts my pvc with a slight slant every time.

Ive got both saws . The Atomic is ideal for one handed use . The 382 is great for demolition
Agreed. I also love how packable the 382 but still packs a punch
Super helpful and the vibration was clearly evident as the other tools danced across your workbench. Thanks!
Appreciate the comment, always hard to tell what actually come through in the video!
Thanks for this video. I was wondering the difference between these two 👏
Glad it was helpful!

Definitely a good observation and like you said, the outcome is still the same. Mostly just trying to demonstrate to buyers what they’re getting into!
Thank you for the testing video... 👌🏼😁
You’re welcome! Appreciate the comment!

What was your Home Depot hack for the larger Sawzall?

Can u use flex volt batteries with this saw
Yes
Please, for your own safety: Stop.
Never
Good for plumbing and tight spaces, otherwise Milwaukee blows it away for a mini reciprocating saw for sure.
For sure
Can you use this for tree roots please
I don’t see a reason you couldn’t. Should be relatively nice for it with one hand on the root and one on the saw
Was trying to decide between the 2. Great comparison!
Hope it helped!
The power detect Dewalt reciprocal saw sold at Lowe’s with an 8 Ah battery is amazingly powerful.
I’ve heard it’s a beast. Definitely a different class/purpose compared to the one handed recip saws

@@wyattsdad8561 I have a Ryobi 18v HP one handed recip saw that’s wonderful for getting into tight spaces and pruning (with Diablo pruning blade).

Interesting, is the blade at a right angle to the shoe? Or just flexing in the cut?
Use a shorter blade and hold it tighter to the pipe
