4,100 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PORTER-CABLE PCC670B runs on a 20V battery and spins blades at 1,500 RPM, which is on the lower end of the cordless reciprocating saw spectrum. What sets it apart in this batch is its 14.5-inch cutting capacity, the longest published capacity of any saw reviewed here, and its 3.75-pound weight, which keeps it light enough for extended single-hand use.
With 4,100 reviews at 4.7 stars, the PCC670B carries a strong and sizable validation record. At $105.22 it competes directly with the DEWALT DCS380B, though it runs at 1,500 RPM versus the DEWALT's 3,000 RPM. The tradeoff is the longer blade reach and lighter body, which suits different use cases. The high speed steel blade construction is standard for the category.
As a bare tool, the PCC670B requires an existing PORTER-CABLE 20V battery. Buyers outside this platform face the added cost of a battery and charger. For platform users, the combination of validated quality, extended capacity, and manageable weight makes this a straightforward pick for general cutting tasks.
Pros
- 14.5-inch cutting capacity is the longest in this batch for deep or extended cuts

- 4,100 reviews at 4.7 stars confirms strong and consistent buyer satisfaction
- 20V cordless platform eliminates cord and hose constraints
- High speed steel blade material handles standard cutting tasks
Cons
- 1,500 RPM is on the lower end; slower than some competing cordless saws
- Bare tool only; battery and charger not included
- $105.22 is competitive but requires battery investment for non-platform users

Performance notes
Battery powered at 20V. Blade speed is 1,500 RPM. Tool weight is 3.75 pounds. Cutting capacity is 14.5 inches. Blade material is high speed steel. The lower RPM figure relative to competitors indicates the saw is tuned for controlled cutting rather than maximum speed. The 14.5-inch capacity is particularly useful for deep flush cuts or thick stock work.
What buyers say
The 4,100-review pool at 4.7 stars shows consistently positive owner experience. Buyers frequently note the lightweight feel and the extended cutting capacity as standout attributes. The lower RPM rating occasionally surfaces in feedback from users comparing it directly to higher-speed competitors.

Frequently asked questions
Does the PORTER-CABLE PCC670B include a battery?
The PCC670B is a bare tool and does not include a battery or charger. It requires a PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX battery purchased separately or available from other PORTER-CABLE 20V kits.
Is 1,500 RPM fast enough for demolition work?
Based on the specs, 1,500 RPM will handle most demolition cuts in wood and similar materials. For very dense materials or high-speed production cutting, a higher-RPM saw such as the DEWALT DCS380B at 3,000 RPM may be a better fit.
