Got tired of not having a hook on my reciprocating saw. Put on a hook made for hitachi air gun. 

Hook cost $12 on ebay.

I usually just hang it by its battery, but I’ll probably copy your setup here. I like that. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Just the other day, I was eyeballing a company Milwaukee deep cut for its hook on my dewalt lol Only thing I envy. The dewalt is lighter, has continued though hard use while I’ve seen 2-3 of the milwaukees be discarded between two companies. The dewalt hook isn’t useless, but its the least efficient design, short of not having one. Does hook on the back of my tough system dolly well for transport, though.

It seemed implied that saws were getting rereleased with hooks, in some coverage around the rear handle release. They did add a hook to the original sidewinder (don’t recall if it was the 20 or 60 or both) but I remember being excited at reading that it was supposed to be most saws. Dewalt, while my preferred brand, unmistakably has a disconnect with the end users, and a history of delayed and abandoned follow through. Shame.

Pretty sure it was both 20 and 60v sass sadly mine didn’t come with one

Still no rafter hook on the 2.0 DCS389 Reciprocating Saw?  I’ll have to do this, thanks. I have the gen 1 flexvolt circ saw with no rafter hook and i had but just exchanged out the 20v dcs570 for new model with rafter hook.
