Whether you like to tinker in the garage for fun or you're a professional contractor who builds homes for a living, having reliable tools makes the job much easier. While developing a collection can be expensive, it's not uncommon to find deals on some of DeWalt's tools if you check Amazon at the right time. Luckily, right now is one of those times, because one of DeWalt's best-selling power tools has hit its lowest price in months.
The DeWalt 20V Max XR Reciprocating Saw is on sale for $149, a 32% discount from its regular price of $219. This is a tool you can buy with confidence: It's the No. 1 best-selling reciprocating saw on Amazon, with more than 3,000 units sold in the last month alone, and it has nearly 9,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who call it “reliable and powerful.” This model only includes the tool, but you can get one of DeWalt's powerful 5Ah batteries for as little as $66 to maximize your runtime and money.

This battery-powered reciprocating saw is compatible with any of DeWalt's 20V batteries; If you already have other 20V tools, you can use the same batteries to power that rig. The saw is only 14.5 inches long so it can fit between studs and other small spaces, and it weighs just 5 pounds without batteries. You can use a wide variety of saw blades and mount the blade vertically or horizontally to suit your specific cutting needs. The saw has a 1 ⅛-inch stroke length and can cut up to 2,900 strokes per minute to get most tasks done quickly. It's also designed to be comfortable and convenient to use: The saw features an ergonomic trigger grip for fine-tuned control and even has a built-in LED light to illuminate your work area.
It's no surprise that this saw is a bestseller: Buyers say it's powerful, easy to use, and built like a tank. “The power and efficiency it offers are outstanding, making tasks like cutting wood and metal simple and fast,” said one customer, adding that it was “a sturdy and versatile tool that has significantly improved my DIY work.”

“More powerful than a locomotive,” another customer joked. “This thing is incredible; it's powerful enough to cut through wood like smooth butter and is easy to use with one hand.” They also noted that it was “very easy to install/remove the blades.”
Priced at just $149, this DeWalt reciprocating saw is a standout offering that arrives at the perfect time for last-minute projects and light gardening. But this limited-time sale won't last long, so grab one for your collection soon.
