DEWALT DCS368B 20V MAX XR Brushless Reciprocating Saw with POWER DETECT™ (Bare Tool)

The DEWALT DCS368B 20V MAX XR brushless reciprocating saw executes aggressive demolition, rough-in cuts, and metal slicing with an operating speed of 0 to 3,000 SPM and a 1-1/8-inch stroke length. Equipped with proprietary POWER DETECT™ technology, this industrial cordless saw automatically identifies high-capacity lithium-ion battery packs to deliver increased power output and efficiency under severe cutting loads. Outfitted with a tool-free keyless lever-action blade clamp, an ergonomic D-ring handle, an integrated LED work light for cut-line visibility in dark work cavities, and a variable speed trigger, it equips framing carpenters, plumbers, and demolition contractors with high-output cutting speed and maneuverability.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

  • Structural Lumber and Nail-Embedded Wood Demolition: Slicing rapidly through 2x4 studs, floor joists, and roof rafters embedded with hardened framing nails during structural tear-outs.
  • Mechanical Pipe and Metal Cutting: Cutting through cast iron soil stacks, black iron gas pipe, EMT conduit, and heavy steel angle iron using high-performance bi-metal reciprocating blades.
  • Plumbing and Electrical Rough-Ins: Making quick plunge and notch cuts in tight stud bays and floor cavities for drain-waste-vent (DWV) piping and electrical conduit runs.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • POWER DETECT™ Technology: Senses premium high-capacity XR batteries to automatically maximize motor power output for heavy demolition cuts.
  • High-Efficiency Brushless Motor: Delivers extended motor lifespan, higher torque transfer, and increased battery runtime without carbon brush maintenance.
  • Rapid 1-1/8" Stroke Length: Generates aggressive stroke geometry paired with 0-3,000 SPM for fast stock removal across dense materials.
  • Keyless Lever-Action Blade Clamp: Enables quick, toolless blade swaps on active jobsites without touching hot, freshly cut blade shanks.
  • Ergonomic D-Ring Handle Design: Provides secure hand placement and balance during horizontal plunge cuts, overhead slicing, and vertical down-cuts.
  • Integrated LED Work Light: Projects a clear beam of illumination directly onto the cutting line for precision in dimly lit crawlspaces and framing cavities.
