Reciprocating saw DeWalt DCS386H2T-QW — compact 160 mm height, 3.5 kg, 1 pc

DeWalt DCS386H2T-QW is a cordless reciprocating saw engineered for demolition, repair and general cutting tasks where a compact, handheld tool is required. With a reduced body height of 160 mm and a total weight of approximately 3.5 kg, this saw is intended to provide maneuverability in confined spaces while remaining suitable for sustained job-site use. It is supplied as a single unit and accepts standard reciprocating saw blades for cutting wood, metal and plastic depending on blade selection.

Advantages

The compact 160 mm height allows easier access in tight areas such as between studs, rafters or within confined service openings. At about 3.5 kg it balances low weight with robust construction to maintain durability under regular use. Cordless operation removes tethering restrictions and simplifies repositioning on site. The tool is compatible with common reciprocating saw blades, permitting a range of cutting tasks from demolition to precise removal work.

Suitable for

• Cutting timber, beams and wooden framing with appropriate blades
• Cutting metal pipes, profiles and sheet metal with metal-cutting blades
• Trimming plastic, PVC piping and composite materials
• Demolition and renovation tasks in confined or overhead spaces
• Maintenance and repair jobs where a compact reciprocating saw is preferred

Key specifications

• Tool type: cordless reciprocating saw
• Overall body height: 160 mm
• Weight: approximately 3.5 kg
• Blade interface: standard reciprocating saw blade mount (accepts industry-compatible blades)
• Intended cutting materials: wood, metal, plastic (blade-dependent)
• Supply configuration: single unit (1 pc)

How to use

Fit a blade suitable for the material to be cut, ensuring the blade is secured according to the manufacturer’s blade-change procedure. Check the battery charge and secure the workpiece before cutting. Position the saw so the shoe rests against the material surface for stability, apply steady pressure and allow the blade to perform the cut without forcing the tool. Use slower feed rates and metal-cutting blades for steel or profile sections, and more aggressive, coarse-tooth blades for fast wood removal. After use, retract or remove the blade if required, switch the tool off and store the saw and battery in a dry location.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection, hearing protection and gloves when operating the reciprocating saw. Choose blades specifically rated for the target material, inspect blades for damage before each use, and follow standard safety practices for cordless power tools, including secure workpiece clamping and battery care measures.
