Dewalt Reciprocating Saw DCS380B - TYPE 1 (2012)

Model: DCS380B (bare tool, battery/charger sold separately).Type 1: Indicates that this is the first model of this tool made. Belongs to DEWALTS's 20 V MAX cordless tool systems, this means that it uses a 20-volt lithium-ion battery platform. The 4-position blade clamp is a standout because it allows for flush cutting (i.e. cutting into walls/studs) and multiple orientations. The 1-1/8" stroke length plus up to 3000 spm gives good cutting speed for many applications Comfort grip, decent weight makes it reasonable for overhead or one-person tasks. Compatibility with the 20V MAX system means any DEWALT 20V MAX battery should work, enabling flexibility for users with other tools in that ecosystem. Weight: 6 lbs. (depending on battery weight will increase).

The model number DCS308B will appear on the factory rating/identification label of the tool (often yellow or black sticker). On parts-listing sites the tool is explicitly listed as DCS380B / TYPE-1 for the first revision. Label will also include other details: voltage (20V MAX), stroke length (1-1/8"), no-load speed up to 3,000 SPM, manufacturing date or date code. serial number. Look on the side of the tool body for the rating label/sticker, often on the handle or near the battery compartment. Model and serial number sticker is usually found on right side of the handle. Also check inside the battery compartment, many cordless DEWALT tools place the serial number or date there. On the label you might also find a date code showing year and week of manufacture (depending on region).
