Our take on the DeWalt DCS312B XTREME 12V MAX Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw, Bare Tool

The DeWalt DCS312B is a one-handed cordless reciprocating saw built on the 12V MAX battery platform. It weighs 3.04 lbs and measures 12.12 in front to back, with a brushless motor that runs up to 2,800 strokes per minute and a 5/8 in stroke. A variable-speed trigger and an LED round out the controls. It is a bare tool: battery and charger are sold separately, so it suits shoppers already on DeWalt's 12V line who want a light saw for quick cuts overhead or in tight spots. Against 18V and 20V recip saws it trades raw power for size and one-hand control, and owners rate it highly for exactly that trade-off.

What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 560 ratings

Owners rate it 4.8 out of 5 and mostly praise its light weight, one-hand balance and smooth brushless power for small jobs. Criticism centers on the limits of the 12V platform on heavier material and on it arriving without a battery.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners like that it is light enough to hold overhead and use one-handed for long stretches.
  • PowerMixedIt handles trim, PVC and branches well, but owners say it bogs down in thick lumber and heavy demolition.
  • Battery platformMixedIt is a good fit for people already on DeWalt 12V MAX, but the bare-tool format means buying batteries and a charger otherwise.
  • Cut speedMixedThe 5/8 in stroke and 2,800 spm are quick for small cuts, though slower than full-size reciprocating saws on big stock.
  • ControlPraisedThe variable-speed trigger and compact body make starting cuts and one-hand work easy to manage.
