Is the DC385 Reciprocating Saw the same as the DC385B where the blade can change positins?

As far as I know the DC385 is the same saw as the DC385B. In the tool sets they leave off the letters because the sets come with batteries included with the set. The reason for the letters at the end is for individual tool sales. The letter B at the end is usual for bare tools with no battery and the letter K is for tools that come with the battery.

Yes, you can put the blade in upside down if you need that angle on the cut.

I have used the blade in 4 different positions at 0, 90, 180, 270 degree positions. Very handy for tighter situations and different materials.

yes you can put the blade in 90 degrees to normal position in the saw I got with this kit

There is no difference in the saw.The DC385 is the model number of the actual reciprocating saw. The DC385B is the model given when you're buying just the tool (B stands for Bare). The DC385K is comes with an 18V XRP Battery along with a saw case, and a charger (K stands for Kit)

Not sure but it has pretty much a universal attachment. We use on Bosch and fein saws. Great blades for the price

I don't know but I ordered the same one that was recommended by Amazon so I guess I will be screwed also. Maybe Amazon is just trying to get rid of what they have. Haven't unpacked the saw yet.

Hi Cal, just to make sure I understand your question, you want to do precision cuts using the reciprocating saw? Hence your comment about the saw working for angles, molding and doors. My answer to the above is I would not use a reciprocating saw for precision cuts where you may need to join two pieces of wood at an angle or cut a door to size. The blades of the reciprocating saw are very flexible and move a lot, the action from the saw is pretty fast and shaky. If you want to have a precision cut you need a miter saw, a table saw or a circular saw (depending on the job) where the circular blade is firmer and you can control the precision of the cut. I hope this helps! Good luck.

Correct, DCK492L2 has a slightly better recip. saw in that you have multiple blade settings. The 491L2 recip. saw has no such feature. Other than that, no significant differences.

Charles; to the best of my knowledge, they are not interchangeable. A B&D-DeWalt service center could tell you for certain, though. I have access to one, so I'll contact them and post the info here by the end of the week, just in case.

No, the BJR182 is not an orbital saw. According to Makita, they do not manufacturer an orbital reciprocating saw.

You can change the blades out with other blade types. There are specific blades design for certain materials. There are blades designed for metal that you can use with any circular saw including this one.

I know for sure the circular saw has a blade included. I don't remember if there was a blade included for the reciprocating saw.

DC330B means that it is battery powered. DC330 is the corded version. I own both, both are great little saws. Your saws weren't switched...it's the same saw, xrp refers to the battery type.

I don't know the answer, I ordered a DC330B XRP 18 Volt regular Jig Saw for $105.00. The box said DC330B XRP, exactly what I ordered. When I opened the box and inspected the Bare Tool, I noticed that it was all scuffed up, and not even the right tool, it said it was a DC330. It looks like someone swapped the tool. I called Amazon to complain about the error and they sent me a paid postage through my email address....I haven't heard anything since. my email address is dwightbyron@hotmail.com

Athena this attachment is specifically designed for Reciprocating Saws. Jigsaws are different as Dwayne, Mike and Gabriel have all stated. If you look at the "Tang" Portion of the ReciproTool it is a varation of Reciprocating Saw Blades. The Jig Saw has a disticntly different blade attachment and the ReciproTool Adapter will not work on jigsaws.

according to the Stihl web site they are interchangeable : http://www.stihlusa.com/products/chain-saws/saw-chains/rmc3/

I bought it for a friend (I'm using electrical machine) so I couldn't see the differences you mentioned. However, the most important point is that it will fit to the blade.
