DEWALT DCS367N-XJ Reciprocating Saw Brushless XR Compact, Bare Unit

Overview

Take on demanding demolition, construction, plumbing and installation work with the DEWALT DCS367N-XJ 18V XR Brushless Compact Reciprocating Saw, a powerful cordless saw designed to deliver fast cutting performance while remaining compact enough for restricted spaces.

Built around DEWALT's 18V XR brushless motor platform, the DCS367 combines high cutting speed with an unusually short 363mm body, making it particularly useful when working between wall studs, inside framing, around pipework and in other areas where a traditional full-length reciprocating saw can be difficult to position.

A variable-speed trigger delivers up to 2,900 strokes per minute, while the long 28.6mm stroke removes material efficiently through wood, metal, plastics and other compatible construction materials when fitted with the correct blade.

One of the DCS367's most useful features is its four-position blade clamp. Unlike conventional reciprocating saws that accept the blade in only one orientation, the DCS367 allows the blade to be installed in multiple directions, including horizontally, helping users make flush cuts close to walls, floors and ceilings. DEWALT confirms that the four-position arrangement allows cutting downwards, upwards and sideways.

Blade changes are also quick and tool-free thanks to the lever-action keyless blade clamp, while the pivoting shoe helps stabilise the tool against the workpiece. An integrated LED work light illuminates the cutting area when working in poorly lit spaces.

The compact design is complemented by DEWALT's centrally positioned motor, helping improve balance and handling. The tool weighs approximately 2.3kg without battery, making it manageable for repeated demolition and installation work despite its substantial cutting capacity.

UK/EU technical data for this configuration lists maximum cutting capacities of approximately:

• 300mm in wood
• 100mm in steel sections and pipes
• 160mm in PVC

with actual performance depending on the material, blade type, battery and operating technique.

The DCS367N-XJ is supplied as a bare unit, making it ideal for users who already own compatible DEWALT 18V XR batteries and chargers. Battery, charger, carry case and blade are not included with the standard bare-tool configuration.

Key Features & Benefits

• 18V XR Brushless Motor – Brushless motor technology helps improve efficiency, runtime potential and durability compared with conventional brushed designs.
• Compact 363mm Body – Short overall length improves access between studs, around services and in other confined work areas.
• Up to 2,900 Strokes Per Minute – Variable speed provides fast material removal while still allowing better control at the start of a cut.
• 28.6mm Stroke Length – Long blade travel helps improve cutting speed through timber, pipework, plastics and other suitable materials.
• Four-Position Blade Clamp – Mount the blade in multiple orientations for conventional, inverted, sideways and flush-cutting applications.
• Tool-Free Blade Changes – Lever-action keyless clamp allows compatible reciprocating-saw blades to be changed quickly without a separate tool.
• Flush-Cutting Capability – Horizontal blade positioning is especially useful when cutting close to floors, walls or ceilings.
• Pivoting Shoe – Helps stabilise the saw against the workpiece during cutting and improves user control.
• Variable-Speed Trigger – Adjust stroke rate according to the material and stage of the cut rather than operating at one fixed speed.
• Electronic Motor Brake – Helps bring blade movement under control after releasing the trigger.
• Lock-Off Switch – Helps prevent unintended activation during handling or transport.
• Integrated LED Work Light – Illuminates the blade and cutting area in dark cupboards, lofts, plant rooms and construction spaces.
• Up to 300mm Wood Cutting Capacity – Suitable for substantial timber cutting and demolition applications with the correct blade.
• Up to 100mm Steel Pipe / Section Capacity – Useful for cutting compatible metal pipework and structural sections using an appropriate metal blade.
• Up to 160mm PVC Capacity – Handles large plastic pipe and similar materials with the appropriate reciprocating-saw blade.
• Approx. 2.3kg Bare-Tool Weight – Balances professional cutting capability with manageable tool weight.
• Rubber Overmould Grip – Ergonomic grip surfaces help maintain control during demanding cutting applications.
• Compatible with the DEWALT 18V XR System – Designed for DEWALT's established cordless XR battery platform.
• Bare Unit Configuration – Ideal for existing DEWALT XR users who already own batteries and chargers.
