Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 12 -Amp Variable Speed Reciprocating Saw ( )

Excellent Saw

Bought this to cut down a basketball pole and tried it on several other items - glad I gave this.

Broke down after minimal use

I bought this saw and loved it. I also experienced grease coming out the piston. Then, after having used it about twenty times some part has broken down internally. Unfortunately I bought it a about two years ago and missed the warranty period. The saw technically still works but the amount of vibrations and wasted power is a clear sign that a part has broken. It no longer cuts well and the amount of vibrations makes it impractical and truthfully painful. I'm disappointed in that it worked very ...

A work horse

I can`t say enough god about this saw, It has not let me down at all, but make sure you choose the right blade for the metal cutting your gonna do, the basic blade is not good for cast iron pipe

Great saw!

After burning out a cheaper saw last week during a demo project, I purchased a Hitachi 10-AMP saw. The blade release mechanism failed on the first day. I returned it and purchased this Bosch. I was not disappointed! Much more powerful and a much sturdier blade release mechanism. My buddy already bought one on my recommendation.

Plenty of power!

Lots of power for 12 amps. Has cut everything from nails to 4" tree branches without bogging down. Was a life-saver on a bathroom demo cutting 2 x 4's with nails and drywall screws in them. I love the tool-less blade change.

Lots of Power!

I bought this well of a year ago. I use it mainly for tree trimming and hiome renovations, and I never want for power. It does get heavy sometime but a heavy tool is often a well made tool so there you have it.

Great saw but needs ahandle

This saw does a great job and is very well made. Changing the blade is a breeze/ My only complaint is it needs a handle on top to carry the saw. Using the existing handle it is to easy to pull the trigger and running the saw when you carry it around.

ALL BOSCH!

I have been very happy with all of the Bosch tools that I have and have had. If there is a Bosch tool for any tool I intend to buy then the decision is already made, no choice!

Only One Flaw...

I love using this saw. My only complaint is that it does not have a safety lock on the trigger so if you pick it up with one hand by the handle, it's easy to press the trigger causing the blade to move; safety hazard.

Best Purchase

Works great. Never have I regretted this purchase.

A very good / easy to use saw.

Just bought this saw a few days ago due to losing a tree in a heavy windstorm. The RS325 cut through the limbs and branches like butter. The limbs were 6 to 7 inches in diameter and the trunk was 9 inches. Nice smooth initial start-up with no kickback. Easy to operate and change blades. I am very happy with my new Bosch RS325 !

Saw z all

Best saws out there, I'll never buy another Milwaukee saw z all. The only problem I have is loosing the screws on the foot

Exceeds expectation, easy to use

Found this to be the easiest and most versatile reciprocating saw I've used yet. I've used Black & Decker, Dewalt saws previously, this is phenomenally easy to use. I've beat it up already and have about 5hrs of use on it, so far no problems at all.

good saw

Good product from a trusted tool maker. Used it to tear down a deck and it performed very well. Powerful and not too heavy. Everything you need in a reciprocating saw.

cant beat Bosch

I used this thing for a bunch of demo work at home. Cut through the old oak and cedar with no problem. I even used it at 1am to cut up some more logs for the fire. Always a good pproduct.

I like the turn locking mechanism

I bought it abbot 6 months ago it's a great saw , I installed a sliding glass door had to cut an opening for it and it was a breeze no problems $

The real handy man tool!

I bought this saw to help me prepare our family cottage for a renewal after 47 years in existence. It performed according to specifications and surpassed my expectations as an all out demolition tool. I was not nearly as tired as I was with my previous saw-all from another company when working on a previous project. The 1 inch stroke makes it easy to cut through all materials. Highly recommended!
