Execute Flush Multi Directional Cuts and Clear Structural Framing Obstacles Natively Inside Narrow Fourteen Inch Cavities

The DEWALT DCS387B 20V MAX* Compact Reciprocating Saw is an industrial-grade structural demolition cutting tool engineered to operate within restricted jobsite environments. This heavy-duty power saw features a 1-1/8 inch stroke length and a trigger-activated speed range of 0 to 2,900 SPM to sever lumber, metallic piping, and composite lines rapidly. Outfitted with an ultra-compact 14.56-inch chassis designed to clear standard on-center framing bays, this battery-powered tool includes a keyless 4-position blade clamp that facilitates flush wall slicing without dedicated attachments. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

  • Confined Stud Demolition: Slicing embedded framing nails or redundant support braces cleanly inside narrow wall cavities and crawlspaces.
  • Plumbing Rough-Ins: Cutting thick-walled PVC drainage lines or copper water pipes unassisted behind cabinetry or below subfloors.
  • HVAC Duct Modification: Trimming galvanized sheet metal ducting sections and steel utility straps smoothly at awkward overhead intersection lines.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Four-Position Lever Action Clamp: Tool-free quick-change mechanism allows multi-axis blade insertion for precise vertical or horizontal flush cutting orientations.
  • Fourteen Inch Sizing Optimization: Shortened structural silhouette slips effortlessly between structural joists where standard long-body saws stall.
  • Aggressive 1-1/8 Inch Stroke: Long mechanical orbital throw profiles accelerate raw material clearing rates across dense construction timbers.
  • Variable Speed Trigger Command: High-sensitivity micro-switch modulates drivetrain pacing up to 2,900 SPM to prevent material binding.
  • Stabilizing Pivoting Shoe: Front support guard adjusts dynamically against curved workpieces to dampen vibration feedback and balance body pressure.
  • Integrated LED Tracking Light: Sealed high-output diode floods dark interstitial crawlspaces with concentrated illumination directly over the blade line.

What's Included

  • (1) DCS387B 20V MAX* Compact Reciprocating Saw Base Tool Skin

PRO-TIP: When cutting thick iron pipes or metal framing tracks flush to concrete floors, flip your blade upside down in the keyless clamp. Rest the pivoting shoe flat against the metal face before increasing the trigger stroke; this horizontal orientation absorbs mechanical jump feedback natively and keeps your line square without scuffing the steel gears.
