This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

About Product Overview

DEWALT built the 20V MAX XR Cut-Off Saw (DCS438B) for the jobs where a full-size circular saw is overkill but a rotary tool won't cut it - trimming bolts, cutting conduit, slicing through angle iron, and other metal-cutting tasks that call for a compact, controllable tool. A brushless motor drives the 3-inch blade up to 20,000 RPM, giving it enough speed to move through material fast without dragging down under load. The brushless design also means more runtime per charge and a longer-lasting tool overall, since there are no brushes to wear out.

The blade sits on the left side for a clear sightline on your cut line, and a spindle lock makes blade changes straightforward with the keyed system. Depth adjustment lets you dial in exactly how deep you're cutting, and the electric brake stops the blade quickly once you release the trigger - both details that matter when you're working in tight spots. At just 2 pounds for the tool itself, it's light enough for overhead work or extended use without fatigue. This is a bare tool (no battery or charger included), so it's a solid pickup if you're already running the DEWALT 20V MAX system.

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
