The DCS376P2 bundles DEWALT's 20V MAX* PERFORM & PROTECT™ dual-switch portable band saw with two 5.0Ah batteries, an 18 TPI blade, a charger, and a kit box. The saw requires simultaneous two-hand activation — pressing the safety handle and pulling the trigger — to ensure controlled operation throughout the cut. The brushless motor delivers 490 SFPM through a 44-7/8 in. blade with a 5 in. x 4-3/4 in. rectangular and 4 in. round cut capacity. Carries a 3-year limited tool warranty.
What is the dual-switch system on the DCS376P2?
The PERFORM & PROTECT™ design requires the operator to press the safety handle with one hand and pull the trigger with the other simultaneously. Both must be held throughout the cut — releasing either switch stops the blade immediately.
Is the DCS376P2 kit worth choosing over the DCS374P2 kit?
For job sites that mandate two-handed saw operation (many commercial electrical and plumbing contractors), the DCS376P2 satisfies that requirement while delivering the same cut capacity and blade speed as the DCS374P2. If two-hand operation is not required, the DCS374P2 is more versatile.
Does the DCS376P2 include blades?
Yes. The kit includes one 18 TPI bandsaw blade along with the two 5.0Ah batteries, charger, and kit box.
Can the DCS376P2 cut one-handed for overhead work?
No. The dual-switch activation requires both hands during operation. For one-handed or overhead cutting, DEWALT's DCS377B ATOMIC or DCS374B single-trigger models are the appropriate choices.
How does the DCS376P2 perform on stainless steel conduit?
With the right blade (bi-metal or carbide-tipped), the brushless motor handles stainless steel and heavier materials well. Reviewers note that blade selection and variable-speed control are key for clean cuts on harder metals.
What batteries come in the DCS376P2 kit?
The DCS376P2 includes two DCB205 20V MAX* 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries. These are interchangeable with all other DEWALT 20V MAX* tools.
