Draper Storm Force® 20V Reciprocating Saw (Sold Bare)

Cut through timber, metal, plastic, and mixed materials freely and without the restriction of a power cable using the Draper Storm Force® RCRS20SF 20V Cordless Reciprocating Saw — a versatile, capable cutting tool from the Draper Storm Force® 20V Power Interchange series that delivers the freedom, reach, and cutting versatility of a cordless reciprocating saw in a lightweight 1.7kg package. Sold bare — without battery or charger — the RCRS20SF is the ideal choice for existing Storm Force 20V tool owners who already have compatible batteries and chargers, allowing you to expand your cordless toolkit without duplicating power system components you already own.

The RCRS20SF's variable speed control runs from 0–3,000rpm, giving you precise command over cutting speed to match the material, blade, and application — lower speeds for controlled, accurate cutting through metal pipework, conduit, and aluminium, and higher speeds for fast, aggressive progress through structural timber, dimensional lumber, and sheet materials. A 22mm stroke length ensures productive, positive material removal across the full range of cutting applications, while a maximum wood cutting capacity of 115mm handles the majority of structural timbers, floor joists, and dimensional lumber encountered on building and renovation sites.

Quick blade change makes swapping between wood, metal, and demolition blades fast and tool-free — a genuine time-saver when alternating between different materials on a busy site. The lockable and adjustable soleplate can be set to optimise the blade's working position against the workpiece, improving cutting control and extending blade life by distributing wear along a greater portion of the blade length. A soft-grip handle delivers comfortable, secure control during extended cutting sessions, reducing hand fatigue during sustained reciprocating saw use.

As part of the Storm Force® 20V Power Interchange system, the RCRS20SF accepts any Storm Force 20V Li-Ion battery — including the 2.0Ah B202LISF and 4.0Ah B20LISF — giving complete interchangeability across your existing 20V Storm Force toolkit. For reciprocating saw applications involving sustained cutting through thick timber or multiple materials, the 4.0Ah B20LISF is recommended for maximum runtime between charges. Battery and charger are sold separately. Not compatible with Draper Storm Force® 10.8V batteries.

Specifications

FAQ Section

What batteries are compatible with the RCRS20SF?
The RCRS20SF is compatible with all Draper Storm Force® 20V Li-Ion batteries within the 20V Power Interchange series, including the B202LISF 2.0Ah and B20LISF 4.0Ah batteries. It is not compatible with Draper Storm Force® 10.8V batteries. For the best runtime on sustained cutting tasks, the 4.0Ah B20LISF is recommended.

Why is the RCRS20SF sold bare?
The RCRS20SF is sold without battery or charger to offer the best value to existing Storm Force 20V tool owners who already have compatible batteries and chargers in their toolkit. If you are new to the Storm Force 20V system, batteries and chargers are available separately within the range.

What materials can the RCRS20SF cut?
The RCRS20SF can cut wood up to 115mm, steel up to 6mm, and aluminium up to 10mm — depending on the blade fitted. With appropriate demolition blades it is also capable of cutting through mixed materials, nails embedded in timber, plastic pipe, and similar site demolition materials encountered in renovation and strip-out work.

What does the adjustable soleplate do?
The lockable and adjustable soleplate — also known as the shoe — controls how much of the blade protrudes beyond the base of the saw. Adjusting the soleplate allows you to optimise the cutting position for different material thicknesses, improve stability against the workpiece during cutting, and extend blade life by distributing wear along a greater portion of the blade length rather than concentrating it at the tip.

Does the RCRS20SF have variable speed?
Yes. The RCRS20SF features variable speed control from 0–3,000rpm, allowing you to match cutting speed precisely to the material and blade in use — slower for metal, aluminium, and plastic, and faster for timber, sheet materials, and demolition cutting.

How does the RCRS20SF compare to the corded Draper reciprocating saws?
The RCRS20SF offers the significant practical advantage of cordless freedom — no cable management, no need for a nearby power source, and unrestricted reach on site, in loft spaces, in tight corners, and in locations where a corded saw would be impractical. The Draper Expert RSAW1400E corded reciprocating saw delivers more sustained power at 1,400W with orbital action for faster cutting through thick materials — better suited to heavy demolition work. The RCRS20SF is the more practical choice where cordless mobility is the priority.
