Ultra-Compact Cutting Power for Tight Spaces: The DEWALT XTREME 12V MAX One-Handed Reciprocating Saw

The DEWALT DCS312B XTREME™ 12V MAX* Cordless One-Handed Reciprocating Saw is a professional-grade solution engineered for electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to make precise cuts in restricted areas. Weighing only 3.04 lbs. and measuring just 12.12 inches from front to back, this subcompact powerhouse is optimized for true one-handed operation. The high-efficiency brushless motor delivers a blistering 2,800 strokes per minute, providing the speed and torque necessary to slice through PVC, copper pipe, and conduit in attics, crawlspaces, or between narrow wall studs. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Despite its small footprint, the DCS312B is packed with high-performance features designed to streamline your workflow on the jobsite. The integrated tool-free blade release allows for lightning-fast blade changes, while the variable speed trigger provides the surgical control required for delicate finish work. For dark mechanical rooms and dim workspaces, a bright built-in LED illuminates your cut line to ensure maximum accuracy. As a core member of the XTREME™ Compact Series, this tool delivers the perfect balance of portability and industrial durability, ensuring you can tackle overhead applications and awkward angles with minimal fatigue. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Pro-Tip

Pro-Tip: To achieve the cleanest cut and prevent vibration when using a one-handed reciprocating saw, always ensure the metal shoe of the tool is pressed firmly against the workpiece before you pull the trigger. This "anchoring" provides maximum leverage and allows the brushless motor to efficiently drive the blade through the material, which is especially important when cutting thin-walled conduit or copper piping where surface marring is a concern.
