Overview
The DeWalt DCS389B is a 60 volt cordless reciprocating saw sold as a bare tool, with an 8 inch cutting capacity and a high speed steel blade material spec, weighing 7.4 pounds without a battery.
This is DeWalt's FLEXVOLT class recip saw, built for demolition and remodeling cuts rather than fine work. The DCS389B designation with a B suffix means the tool ships without a battery or charger, so budget for a compatible 60 volt or FLEXVOLT pack separately.

Who it's for

Performance notes
At 1874 watts of motor power and 60 volts, this saw is built for sustained demolition cutting rather than light trim work. Its 19.4 inch length and 7.4 pound bare weight put it in the full size class, better suited to two handed use on tough material than one handed precision cuts.
