The DCS374P2 packages DEWALT's 20V MAX* XR® brushless deep-cut portable band saw with two 5.0Ah batteries, a charger, and a kit box. The same DCS374 tool body cuts rectangular stock up to 5 in. x 4-3/4 in. and round stock up to 4 in. at 490 SFPM with variable-speed control. A tool-less blade-tensioning lever, integrated LED work light with 20-second delay, and hang hook make the kit practical for electricians, plumbers, and iron workers. Compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* batteries. DEWALT covers the tool with a 3-year limited warranty.
What is the difference between the DCS374P2 and the DCS374B?
The DCS374P2 is the kit configuration and includes two 20V MAX* 5.0Ah batteries, a charger, and a kit box. The DCS374B is the bare tool only, sold without a battery or charger. The saw itself is identical between both SKUs.
What materials can the DCS374P2 cut?
The DCS374P2 cuts mild steel, stainless steel, copper pipe, conduit, unistrut, and similar metals. It handles rectangular stock up to 5 in. x 4-3/4 in. and round stock such as schedule-40 pipe up to 4 in. diameter.
Does the kit come with a blade?
Yes. The DCS374P2 kit includes one 18 TPI band saw blade in addition to the two 5.0Ah batteries, charger, and kit box.
How does blade life hold up in heavy use?
Reviewers consistently note that blades wear faster on harder metals. Keeping extra blades on the job — especially aftermarket brands like Lennox or Starrett — is widely recommended for high-volume cutting.
Can the DCS374P2 be used one-handed for overhead conduit work?
The DCS374P2 uses a single-trigger design, so one-handed use is physically possible, though DEWALT rates the tool for two-handed operation. For dedicated one-handed overhead cutting, the lighter DCS377B ATOMIC is purpose-built for that application.
Is the two-battery kit worth the premium over buying the bare tool and batteries separately?
For tradespeople who do not already own 5.0Ah batteries, the P2 kit is generally the better value. It bundles the tool, two high-capacity batteries, charger, and case at a lower combined price than purchasing each component separately.
