Overview
The DEWALT DCS374B is a 20V battery powered reciprocating saw sold as a bare tool, with a metal build and a stated cutting capacity of 5 inches. It is listed at 12.4 pounds.
As a bare tool the DCS374B ships without a battery or charger, so the 20V figure describes the platform it runs on rather than a battery included in the box. The metal construction points to a shoe and gear housing built for repeated demolition and cutting work rather than light trim jobs.
- 20V cordless platform
- Metal body construction
- 5 inch cutting capacity
- Bare tool, battery sold separately
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople and DIYers who already have 20V DEWALT batteries and need a reciprocating saw for demolition, plumbing or remodeling cuts. Skip it if you need a complete kit or are not already on the 20V platform.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Metal construction for repeated demolition use
- 5 inch cutting capacity
- Runs on the 20V DEWALT battery platform
- No battery or charger included
- At 12.4 pounds as listed, heavier than some compact reciprocating saws
Performance notes
Reciprocating saws cut through a push-pull blade stroke rather than a spinning disc, which is what lets a tool this size get into wall cavities, pipe runs and framing for demolition work. A 5 inch cutting capacity and metal-reinforced housing point to a saw built to handle repeated cuts through wood and thin metal without the housing flexing.
