Compact and Convenient

The DWE357 combines the best of two worlds—power and precision with compactness and control—making it an innovative must-have power tool for general and mechanical contractors, demolition specialists, electricians, HVAC professionals, and other residential and commercial construction professionals. Whether you’re working in a tight space, reaching overhead to cut material, or working in a generally challenging area, the DWE357 is the ideal reciprocating saw for the job. Weighing just 6.8 pounds and measuring just 14.5 inches in length, the DWE357’s compact size allows users to make strong, quick cuts in confined spaces, like under sinks, in corners, and between rafters. Users can get into tight spaces on the job site to quickly and cleanly cut through metal, wood, plastic, drywall, composites, fiberglass, and more.

Powerful and Efficient

Just because it’s small, though, doesn’t mean the DWE357 doesn’t pack a punch. With a 12-amp motor capable of delivering 0-3,000 strokes per minute (SPM) with a 1-1/8-inch blade stroke length, it also comes equipped with a keyless lever-action four-position blade clamp to place the blade in vertical or horizontal configurations. The ergonomic handle with overmolded grip provides additional comfort over long run times on the job; it also decreases vibration and increases control and balance. The pivoting shoe offers leverage to efficiently cut through materials, especially in flush-cutting applications. Delivering a big impact in a small package, the DWE357 is the perfect addition to your tool collection for both professional jobs and DIY projects.
