Review: 12v Recip - on the fence about grabbing this recip or the 20v version - ended up going with this recip, and have zero regrets. I have sawed from wood to steel without effort. super sturdy, compact and tons of power. I have the 3ah and 5ah batteries and runs phenomenal with either.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Brush cutting?**
A: I would not buy this for Brush cutting.  The battery is only 12 volt which makes it very inconvenient with all my other 20 volt 60 volt Max batteries. That being said it doesn't last  long.  The power is decent.. It's small and that's what it does ...small jobs especially with his 12 volt battery.  It's really used to fit it smaller areas a saws all can't fit. The Milwaukee saw like this one. is much better and more powerful I would recommend that one

**Q: Why does it say air powered?**
A: The DCS312B is not an air powered unit.  We apologize for any confusion.

**Q: What size blade does the clamp accept?**
A: This model accepts standard reciprocating saw blades.

**Q: Que modelo de batería se usa ? O que voltaje**
A: The DCS312B uses the batteries in the DEWALT 12V line.  The DCB124 would work with this unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 12v Recip

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome tool
*by D***A on December 15, 2025*

Great small and light

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trim braches with ease
*by M***O on April 13, 2022*

I wanted a one handed saw for trimming tree branches and thicker parts shrubs, this saw did not disappoint. Is it the right tool for the job? Well it certainly depends on the job, but for I wanted it for it works great. I have other types of saws, but this will also come in handy when I need to cut metal, and a chainsaw would not be appropriate or safe for most of the cutting I wanted to do. I'm really surprised by the power of this, even though it's only 12V, and especially even though I was only using the 2ah batteries that come with the 12V Dewalt screwdriver I have. I was cutting up some brush and branches for a good 20 minutes and the battery was still half full. The wood blade it comes with will go through 1" diameter branches like butter, but the blade can start to bind with thicker branches, especially if you can't hold them still because the saw's energy just gets transferred to the branch, shaking it back and forth. Hold the branch still and bend the cut open and you'll go right through it.
