Dewalt DWE357 Reciprocating Saw 12A 120V 2800 Spm

Product Description

The DEWALT DWE357 is a corded electric reciprocating saw rated at 12 amps and 120 volts, delivering up to 2,800 strokes per minute with a 1.125-inch stroke length. These two performance specs directly determine cutting speed and material removal rate, making them the primary selection criteria for trade professionals. The DWE357 is built for rough-in work, demolition, and fixture removal across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Its corded design provides consistent power output for sustained cuts through pipe, conduit, wood framing, and similar materials encountered during installation or service work.

This saw is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use wherever a corded power source is available. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly reach for a reciprocating saw when cutting copper or PVC pipe, conduit, ductwork openings, or structural members during rough-in and remodel work. The compact form factor allows access in tighter spaces such as wall cavities, crawlspaces, and mechanical rooms. At 9.5 pounds, it is a manageable one-handed tool for most overhead or vertical cuts.
