Customer Reviews for Bosch 12-Volt Max Reciprocating Saw Kit with 2Ah Battery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this multiple times for wood and metal cutting where my corded saw would be overkill. The cordless feature is also a plus.

I saw the versatility of this tool when my daughter purchased one for herself. What a great tool for so many tasks. Just had to have one for myself and received it as a birthday present. One of the best birthday presents ever. It came with everything I needed to get started; blades, battery, charger and an awesome tool bag. I was able to combine my other Bosch 12V drills and drivers in this one bag to keep all my tools and batteries together.

Surprisingly great! No cord. Easy to use. Great feel too!

Works great and very compact. Fits well with the rest of my 12v Bosh tools. They are light and powerful. I hardly have to break out the 18v stuff.

Perfect for the contractor or dyi person. Works great, compact & powerful.

The PS60 is perfect for getting into small spaces for plumbing and remodeling applications. This would certainly never replace a full sized reciprocating saw for my work needs as the blade travel is rather short. The tool is also not ideal for longer blades but again, it’s a life saver in space confined conditions. Many of the reviewers have stated an issue with removing the battery but I’ve had no problems what so ever.

Great Battery operated saw for use with one hand

I purchased this on a whim , had a "surgical " cutting op that required some bulk but lots of precision ; this looked as if it may suit ...that ,as all of my bosch tools - delivered ...and then some! Extraordinary balance yet strong for plunging too. As a professional home remodeler this new tool will is a welcomed and cherished addition to my arsenal .

This is a great little tool at an affordable price. It beats crawling around under the house dragging a drop cord. Money well spent. Only wish it came with 2 batteries but the charge lasts through a lot of cuts.

The battery pack is very hard to remove I only had for 3weeks. I like everything else

I BOUGHT FOR SMALL JOBS AND IT IS FINE FOR THAT 0NLYPROBLEM I HAD WAS WITH BATTERY INSTALLATION AND CHARGER. . OK ONCE YOU USE IT, BUT DIFFICULT THE FIRST TIME. ALL IN ALL DOES THE JOB I BOUGHT IT FOR

great little saw gets into tight areas easy to handle

Used 10 times in 9 months and battery shows error and will not work on full charge

It all started couple of months ago, when I bought the 12v drill & impact driver. I was so impressed that I went ahead & bought the 12v reciprocating saw. Well made, small, light maneuverable, and plenty of power for a 12v cordless tool. Love this series of 12v tools by Bosch.

I like this reciprocating saw because it is small and cordless. I can use it in tight spaces. The downside for it being small is the smaller battery and power. I frequently find myself draining the battery and having to recharge it when I undergo a larger project when its limits are tested to the max. During those times, I wish I had purchased the larger reciprocating saw, but I am not a handyman and do not frequently have larger projects so I don't regret purchasing this one.

This 12V saw is awesome. It is small enough to get into tight spaces and gets the job done fast. I would buy it again.

This saw is awesome. It makes cutting conduit and pvc so much easier. When I'm on a roof doing professional electrical work, not having to carry a full size saw is fantastic. Any time I need to get under a car or my jeep to get exhaust loose or old bolts off, this thing is a champ with tight spaces. I will say that it is good to have multiple batteries (I have 4 for my entire 12v line) so that you can do continuous work. This is probably the best cordless tool that I owned in terms of usefulness, durability, and power.

I got this saw to use to trim limbs out trees when mowing. Works great! Light can use with one hand! Can use full size blades! I have alot of the little 12volts tools been a fan since the first PS 20 kit I got in 2006 and it still works great.

I was leary at first with a 12volt Litium-ion battery how was it going to do, yet right from the first time I used this tool I addressed a 1/4" x 2" Flat steel that needed to be cut 8 times to size. It performed excellent, I use this tool today at every job site

Very handy light saw, bought a second one for my seasonal home

I have had this for a few months now and i am so satisfied with this purchase. I was looking for a saw I could handle. This is light weight which i appreciate as i am a 57 yr old female. Saws scare me a bit, and i dont have the strength to feel comfortable using the big boy stuff. I have used this for many things but really like it for cutting limbs on my acreage. My only suggestion would be to make the battery a bit easier to remove. I have weak hands ... but other than that 5 stars!

This tool is really powerful and great to use from cutting wood to metal!

This 12 Volt cordless reciprocal saw has one flawed and that is the released mechanism is very difficult to push and disengaged to release the battery. Other than that, it is a good saw and it is not made for the heavy duty used.

I bot this several years ago. I left it on top of a roof for several months. The owner finally called and told me that he found it. It ran when I picked it up. ( I suppose it didn't remember me, but I caught it.) It ran like nothing had ever happened to it. I use this for cutting PVC when I am doing plumbing and cutting small stuff that doesn't require a BIG, HEAVY sawzall. This won't do demo, but it is incredibly handy. The battery that walked off the Ark with Noah is still working.

I have used this little saw on many projects. With it's small size you can get into really tight places that you would otherwise not be able to. I have used this saw for plumbing, framing, cutting nail embedded lumber, etc... This is a must have tool for plumbers and remodelers. It has never failed me. This is a tough little saw.

I have used this saw for over a year and is very useful and handy

Packs a punch! The battery lasts long and charges extremely quick. It's powerful enough to cut through PVC, copper, 3/4" plywood and multiple layers of wall and floor materials

I really enjoy using this saw. It fits nicely in your hand which makes it very easy to control. I liked using my Dad's so much that I asked for one for Christmas and received one, so now I have my own to use and can't stop borrowing my Dad's. Definitely a handy saw to have in the toolbox.

For a plumber who is cutting PVC and copper tubing and even steel pipe all day this is a must have tool. Just have a spare battery handy and you can go all day! Saves a lot of time and energy!

This tool has been a great addition to my tool collection. It cuts quickly and powerfully, but it does have its limitations being only 12v. But I have cut through 2x4 lumber, ply wood, pvc pipe, copper pipe, smaller pieces of steel, and it handles them all.
