DW937K Cordless Reciprocating Saw Review

The run time of this cordless reciprocating saw from DeWalt is improved by using the XR battery pack

By Andrew Wormer

The run time of this cordless reciprocating saw, while still not great, was improved by our use of the XR battery pack. The additional cost for an XR battery is a small price to pay for this added run time. The charger is good for 9.6v to 14.4v DeWalt batteries. The saw comes with two blades and a plastic case.
