Reciprocating Saw Sourcing 20V Brushless (model 3480CB) — cordless 20 V, brushless motor

The Sourcing Reciprocating Saw 20V Brushless (model 3480CB) is a cordless reciprocating saw designed for demolition, cutting metal, wood and plastics. Powered by a 20 V brushless motor, it delivers the reciprocating blade action necessary for plunge cuts and profile cutting while offering the mobility of battery operation on construction sites and renovation projects. The tool accepts standard reciprocating blades and is intended for tasks that require accessible, one-handed or two-handed cutting in confined or open spaces.

Advantages

The brushless motor improves energy efficiency and reduces maintenance needs compared with brushed designs, extending run time per charge and tool longevity. Cordless operation removes the constraint of a power cord, enabling use in remote or hard-to-reach locations and faster setup on job sites. Compatibility with standard recip blades provides flexibility to switch between metal, wood or plastic cutting applications without special adapters. The reciprocating action and blade stroke are suitable for controlled demolition and precise plunge cuts.

Suitable for

• Demolition and rough cutting in renovation and construction
• Cutting metal pipes, conduit and sheet metal with appropriate blades
• Cutting wooden studs, framing members and timber for remodels
• Removing plastic fixtures, trimming composite materials and cutting PVC
• Emergency removal tasks where corded power is unavailable

Key specifications

• Power type: cordless, 20 V battery system
• Motor: brushless design for improved efficiency
• Cutting action: reciprocating blade stroke for plunge and profile cuts
• Blade compatibility: accepts standard reciprocating saw blades
• Intended materials: metal, wood, plastics (blade-dependent)

How to use

Install an appropriate reciprocating blade for the material to be cut, making sure the blade is securely locked in the blade clamp. Hold the saw with a firm grip and position the shoe against the workpiece to stabilize the cut. Start the saw at low speed if variable speed control is available, then increase as needed to match material and blade type. Apply steady, controlled pressure—allow the blade to do the cutting rather than forcing the tool. After completing the cut, release the trigger, wait for the blade to stop, then remove the blade if required for storage or blade change.

Usage recommendations

Use blades rated for the target material and check blade condition before each use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, gloves and hearing protection. For prolonged work, use a charged 20 V battery compatible with the tool and follow manufacturer guidance for battery care and charging. Keep the shoe in contact with the workpiece to reduce vibration and improve control; avoid binding the blade to prevent motor overload.
