DEKOPRO 20V Cordless Reciprocating Saw with 2x2Ah Batteries – 3200 SPM Variable Speed

The essentials

A cordless reciprocating saw is one of those tools you don’t use every day, but when you need it, you really need it. The DEKOPRO 20V model comes as a starter kit and is built around quick switching between blade types, variable speed control and a fairly generous stroke for cutting through common materials.

On paper, it’s aimed at practical jobs around the home and garden: removing timber, tackling PVC pipe sections and cutting small steel pieces without dragging a mains cable around. It also leans into convenience—two 2Ah batteries, tool-free blade swapping, and a pivoting shoe for steadier cuts in awkward spots.

That said, cordless saws always depend on battery capacity and job style. If you’re planning lots of heavy, continuous cutting, you may find you want a bigger battery option or a more power-focused setup.

Key points

The standout feature is the cordless reciprocating format combined with fast, tool-free blade changes. That means you can move from a wood blade to a metal blade without stopping mid-job to hunt for tools. Pair that with a variable-speed trigger (0–3200 SPM) and you’ve got the control you usually want when you’re cutting different materials or starting a cut carefully.

The included 2x2Ah battery packs are also a sensible choice for day-to-day DIY. They’re designed to double your run time by allowing alternating use, and the swap is described as quick (seconds). It’s a small detail, but it helps reduce those “wait for charging” interruptions.

What you’ll notice day to day

In actual use, the two things that tend to matter most with this kind of saw are stability and control. Here, you get an aluminium pivoting shoe that can rotate and extend for flush bracing, bevel angles and depth control. That’s the sort of adjustability that can help when you’re cutting close to a surface or trying to keep the cut aligned.

There’s also vibration damping via a rubber-coated head and handle. Reciprocating saws can be a bit punchy, so anything that reduces fatigue is worth considering—especially if you’re doing multiple short cuts rather than one long session.

And because you’re sometimes working in dim garages or under stairs, the LED light support for wood and metal cutting is a practical inclusion. It won’t replace good lighting, but it can help you see your line.

Where it shines (and where it may not)

This saw makes the most sense if your cutting list looks like the everyday DIY jobs it mentions: cutting 110 mm wood, 60 mm PVC tube, and small steel at 6 mm. If you’re doing loft conversion prep, trimming timber, or sorting out garden pruning and occasional metal work, it’s clearly pitched as a “keep moving” tool—no mains cable trailing behind you.

Tool-free blade changes (Quick-Chuck style) are another practical win. Swapping blades in under five seconds is the kind of feature that pays off when you’re bouncing between material types.

However, you may want to be cautious if you’re expecting it to behave like a heavy-duty, mains-powered demolition saw. The battery-powered nature and the stated cutting figures suggest it’s better suited to light-to-medium tasks and short bursts rather than extended, high-demand cutting sessions.

What to check before you buy

Before committing, it’s worth double-checking a couple of practical points:

• Battery strategy: you’re getting two 2Ah packs, which is convenient, but your runtime will still depend on how hard you cut and what material you’re cutting.
• Blade fit and availability: the kit includes a wood blade and mentions wood and metal blades, but you’ll want to make sure you can get the blade types you’ll need for your future jobs.
• Cutting setup: the pivoting shoe and depth control are helpful, but the real-world result depends on whether you can brace the shoe properly for your particular cut.

If you want something more like “set-and-forget” power for long continuous cutting, a more powerful wired option may still be the easier route.

When it makes sense

This is a solid pick if you want a cordless reciprocating saw for common home and garden tasks where cable-free convenience matters. It suits people who prefer quick blade changes, want variable speed control for starting cuts cleanly, and like the idea of having two batteries ready from day one.

It may not suit you if your work is heavy and continuous, or if you’re cutting thicker metal and tough materials for long stretches—cordless tools can feel limiting there. It’s also not a great match if you strongly prioritise a high-end, long-running professional workflow over quick DIY flexibility.
