this DCS388 reciprocating saw is so hard to set down on anything but a flat surface. when framing and up on a ladder, or on a roof, or walking through trusses, there is no where to put this saw. i’ve tried to be careful, but dropped it onto concrete today from at least 10 feet up. fortunately no damage. add a hook! or can i retrofit one?
Maybe now that Milwaukee has the Super Sawzall Dewalt will release a saw with orbital within the next two years. They copied rafter hooks on circular saws finally so hopefully they follow suit with reciprocating saws.
You need a tool lanyard would work perfectly
Duct tape fixes everything
