The DEWALT DCS367B 20V MAX XR Brushless Compact Reciprocating Saw is a cordless reciprocating saw built for cutting in tight spaces where a bigger saw is awkward or simply will not fit. This is a reciprocating saw designed for demolition cutting, rough-in work, remodel work, and general jobsite cutting in wood and metal. Model Number: DCS367B. If you need a saw for between studs, inside wall openings, overhead cuts, or utility work around existing pipe and framing, this is the point of this tool.

The big story here is size without giving up useful cutting speed. DEWALT rates it at up to 2,900 strokes per minute with a 1-1/8 inch stroke length, so it still cuts with authority instead of feeling like a compact tool that only works on light material. That combination matters on the job because compact only helps if the saw still moves through the cut at a reasonable pace. The variable speed trigger also gives you better control when you are starting a cut on metal, working in finished spaces, or trying not to beat up surrounding material.

The 14.5 inch overall length is what separates this saw from a lot of full-size recip saws. On remodel and mechanical work, access is often the real problem, not raw power. A shorter body makes it easier to work between studs, in crawlspace openings, around plumbing lines, and above shoulder height. DEWALT also keeps the bare tool weight around 5 pounds, which helps with one-handed positioning and reduces fatigue during repeated cuts, even though this is still a two-handed cutting tool when you want the best control.

Blade changes are handled with a keyless 4-position blade clamp. That is not just a convenience feature. Being able to reposition the blade quickly helps you attack the cut from the angle the space gives you, instead of forcing the tool into a bad position. For plumbers, HVAC installers, electricians, and remodel crews, that means less wasted motion when cutting pipe, strut, wood framing, or mixed old-work material in confined spots.

DEWALT also adds a bright LED light, which is more useful than it sounds on a reciprocating saw this compact. Tight cuts often happen in basements, utility chases, under sinks, inside wall cavities, and above ceilings. Better visibility helps you place the shoe, track your line, and avoid nearby material you do not want to touch. That makes the saw more practical for punch list work and service work, not just rough demolition.

This is a tool-only configuration, so the battery and charger are sold separately. The upside is simple: if you are already on the DEWALT 20V MAX platform, this bare tool drops right into your existing battery setup. It is compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and chargers, which makes it a smart add-on for users who already run DEWALT cordless drills, impact drivers, grinders, lights, or other saws.

As for who should buy it, this saw makes the most sense for tradespeople and serious DIY users who value access, control, and lighter weight more than the extra bulk of a full-size demolition saw. It is especially well suited for plumbing, HVAC, electrical rough-in, remodeling, service work, and selective demolition. If most of your cuts happen in open framing and you lean hard on full-depth demolition all day, a larger reciprocating saw may still be the better choice. But if your work happens where space is limited, this compact DEWALT setup is the smarter tool to reach for.
