What Customers Are Saying

The product has a mixed performance. On the positive side, it is praised for its compact and lightweight design, making it easy to handle and use for small jobs. It is also considered powerful enough for tasks like cutting pipe, pruning trees, and installing cabinets. However, many customers report issues with the saw frequently cutting out or stopping, even with a fully charged battery. Some find it underpowered and unable to handle tougher materials without stalling. Overall, the saw seems suitable for light-duty, small-scale tasks, but may not be reliable or powerful enough for more demanding applications.

Solid for what it is

Would Recommend

This little reciprocating saw is a nice unit. It may not have a ton of power, but it has all you can expect out of a 12v line. Battery life is good and the tool itself feels well made while being comfortable to use.

Compact saw

Would Recommend

I liked the fact that this is a smaller size reciprocating saw that can be used in tighter areas that a full-size saw can't get in too.

Big power, small package

Would Recommend

I recently added a 12v drill to my 20v tool array and was so pleased with its performance that I picked up the 12v reciprocating saw. Y'all know how using the full size 20v saw can be tricky, especially in tight or high spots. This little gem does the job, stress-free!

It's my go to!

I have all of the Xtreme line-up and I really love this little saw. I also have all of the 20v and 60v Dewalt tools. I have this saw sitting right up front in my tool truck. I don't need the big sawzall all that often after I picked this up. It is fantastic for sheetrock cut-outs. We do a lot of can light and with a shop vac and this saw, I make almost no dust and mess. The LED light near the blade allows me to make perfect circles and cuts over my head. I really like the variable speed c...

Kitchen Demo

I used this saw to completely remove a 1950’s soffit. Mostly single handedly removed the it in a couple hours time. I was so glad that I purchased this unit over a full size reciprocating saw! Plus this fine DeWalt tool made short work of removing the old built in cabinets. Totally awesome!

Great tool value

Would Recommend

I really like this product . Have used it for bathroom demo, tree trimming, and plumbing projects. 4 amp battery lasts a long time without recharge. Cordless one hand cutting is great for yard use. Very pleased with this product

Great DIY recip saw. Compact but powerful.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I’m moving to San Diego from the Bay Area. Like many dads I got into woodworking building things for my kids. I built them a playhouse when they were little and they’ve outgrown it now. With moving it was too big to take and too big to get through the fence so it was time to take it apart. When I acquired this saw I new this is what I would use to help out. I’ve never used a reciprocating saw before so this is my only experience with the...

Excellent little saw!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this saw and immediately put it to work cutting down vines growing up trees in my backyard. I didn't use a new blade which would of made cutting faster but I wanted to see what this saw could do. It tackled the vines no problem, even the thicker ones that my loppers couldn't get around. I then used it to cut down the thicker middle branch of a holly bush i was trimming back. This is a great alternative to getting out my sawzall. I ha...

Light and powerful

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, light and powerful motor. Can cut through a roll of flashing tape. Only drawback is because it is so light there is a bit more vibrations than heavier models.
