The Oregon blade is the style of blade we use in Scandinavia for professional forestry brush cutting and thinning. It's made out of mild steel for good reason. when you hit rocks, dirt and other stuff harder than the blade, you simply sharpen it with a round file. It takes about two minutes. The Stihl is the only blade in this test that is supposed to cut anything close to grass. It's designed for thin shrubbery and reeds.
The stihl 3 blade works great for clearing under pasture fencing a few times a year. Great for himalayan blackberry vines, forgiving if i strike an unseen t post, will cut through smaller hawthorns growing up into the wire, plus easy to file sharp again with a flat file.
Yep. Done the same for years. It handles the grass and the occasional straggle brush which is exactly what pasture fenceline was for me. It prevents the string trim one day and followup another day with brush blade. Or excessive amounts of trimmer line without a brush blase.
This channel never stops being so amazing and useful. Any time I want a new tool, i just watch a project farm video. I got a Ego trimmer because of your video on trimmers, and now im gonna get a blade to cut branches off a downed tree. I cant get over how useful this channel is, you deserve 10M subs, minimum. I hope you're getting nice youtube checks now.

@@jdisdetermined I got a chicken BLT with a large fry and a water bc I haven't been getting beef or soda to eat healthier.

I guess I'd prefer it to happen out in the open instead of trapped in my APT. Btw thanks for asking man it really helps to let it out every once in a while.
@@dotboy3450 No worries my friend, we've all been there. I had a 6 figure job I enjoyed and for no reason I just stopped going one day.. didn't quit or tell anybody I was leaving, just turned my phone off and drove around through multiple states but not going anywhere for a month. Still couldn't tell you why the fuck I did that. A little paranoia and chilling in a parking lot eating fast food is not that bad. We can all get a little crazy, it's pulling yourself out of it that's important. Leaving the job ended up being a win, because after I started my own business I learned I wasn't actually that happy there at all. Still a big drop in income, but it's getting there and it's alot more fulfilling and fun working to build something you create, not doing it for someone else.

PF videos are the most informative, creative, and fair videos anywhere on TH-cam. You can actually learn something and have confidence in that knowledge.
Great video. I have a lot of experience with brush cutting with a heavy duty trimmer. Sthil makes a brush cutter blade. The one tested here is a grass blade and will destroy your trimmer if you use it for brush! I run the forester carbide, it’s the only one I’ve found with longevity and ability to be sharpened well. Wear your protective equipment. Thanks again for the video
The timing of this review is perfect, thank you!! In my area, we get a lot of stringy stuff, vines and things less than 1/4", so I think I'm going to try to find the Stihl triangle blade that clears itself better. Testing on both grass and different sized branches was a great idea, that lets people find something that will work best for them.
@Tom Smith I have used the Stihl Triangle blade as my go to general use blade for tall grass and heavy weeds and very small brush for many years. Tough blade, reversible and can be sharpened for a long service life. The package has a sharpening guide printed on it to help maintain an even diameter.
Hi @Project Farm - I'm sure your hands get dirty from all the testing. Can you do a video about What Cleaning Products are the best on hands and skin? From regular dirt to engine oil to hydrophobic grease? How does olive oil do as a grease cleaner compared to purpose made cleaning products? I love your videos! Thanks for Sharing!
I'd love to see that. My job requires fixing old kitchen equipment and I have resorted to washing my hands with industrial degreaser because soap wouldn't do anything.
@LabRat Knatz Another "frowned upon" solution which works great is Tide laundry detergent. It totally dries your skin and if you have an open wound hurts like crazy (and is surely toxic), but I used to use that after working on an engine. Fortunately, it wasn't all the time. 😬
That Stihl blade is amazing. I did environmental work where we did all landscaping for gaslines and powerlines. I’ve cleared trees up to 4” thick, bushes the size of minivans, and 50+ acres worth of knotweed. After about a month, the workload definitely wore it down and rounded it out but overall, I recommend it over its competition all day long.
Can't recall which video it was specifically, but I had originally come to this channel for the reviews related to a particular product I was looking at. Now I'm firmly in the camp of "I don't even have or need one of those but I love seeing these reviews" for most of these, including this one. Keep up the great work!
Thanks to everyone for requesting this round 2 video! Also, wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day weekend! Finally, thanks for voting in the most recent poll for future video ideas. The voting is still underway, but right now electric pressure washers is in the lead at 37%, Drinking Water Filters 24%, Making/testing biodiesel 16%, Testing 10 brands of solar panels 15%, and 1000W power inverters 10%. You all mean a lot to me, and I really look forward to reading your comments every week! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Would recommend testing these 2 also from Stihl. Stihl OEM Parts Chisel Tooth Circular Saw Blade 225-24, Stihl Chisel Tooth Circular Saw Blade 200 mm/7.9", but of which are plain steel teeth, but easily sharpened and repaired when bent. None seem to handle fence rows with T-posts. Maybe you can test some specific to clearing fences?
This is probably one of my favorite channels great quality and objective reviews as well as good commentary and viewer suggestions are taken into account as well
Excellent testing as always! Hopefully you didn't suffer any bodily injuries from carbide teeth flying off the blades, it was definitely a hazardous work environment. LOL. Thanks for all the hard work!
Just watched this again in July 2024. Love 💛 your product reviews and I purchased two of the blades you recommended. Still for grass and non-woody brush, and the Forester chainsaw blade for woody brush. Thank you for doing such a good job on these reviews!!! 👃
I'm in! "Jack Daniels - claims excessive consumption may cause personal time displacement... we're gonna test that!" *Later:* "I lovesh you guysh sho much... *hic* ... what year ish it and where'sh the floor?"
This one was great! I'm currently doing body work on a vehicle and would love to see a showdown between the different automotive rust preventative coatings like KBS Rust Seal, POR15, Rust Bullet, etc. Things like rust prevention, durability, scratch resistance, UV effects, and impact resistance. Your channel has been invaluable to me. Keep up the great work!
I'd love to see a comparison of 2-stroke oil and engines running a 2-stroke engine off different mix ratios- 40:1 vs 50:1 etc. Would be fun to see how this affects Stihls "4mix" motors.
After putting this video’s results to a practical exercise at home, I now request a poison ivy remedy / medicine comparison video! Thanks for the great vids!
I'm a professional landscaper and I can tell you; the best thing to do is to wash all exposed skin thoroughly with (in order of effectiveness) Orange clean automotive/shop hand cleaner, simple green, or dawn. Really scrub your skin like you're trying to clean off axle grease. Poison ivy has an oil that takes up to 8 hours to penetrate your skin and the rash appears 24-48h later, as long as you wash all your exposed skin thoroughly with a cleaner that dissolves oil, you won't break out no matter how deep you got into it. Also wash any clothing you were wearing using a type of soap that dissolves oil. Rinse twice, and wash these clothes separate from any other clothing as the oil can transfer in the wash and you will end up with ivy rash on your love handles, chest, legs, etc days and weeks later and have no idea where it came from.
Nothing in my 71 years of experience works better than vinegar. Pour it over the affected area and wipe in with your hand. Pour some more on and let dry. Do not dry it or use a fan or anything else to speed it up. Grab a beer and relax. It should be gone within 15 minutes. I've used this method for about 20 years and everyone I've used it on can't believe how well it works.
It would be interesting to see the wire wheel looking blade removing grass from between stone path tiles. I can't really see it doing anything else effectively.
Speaking of blades, how often have you hit a screw or a nail when cutting with brand new blade... Circ saw/miter saw blade test would be really interesting. Curious to see which one holds up best.
The selling power of Project Farm. Both the #1 and #2 best blades are unavailable. You just have to love a great testing demonstration to prove the worth of a product!
Recently I needed an HVLP paint sprayer for work. I thought it was strange that the prices went all the way from 29.99 to 400 dollars. Every gun looked to be built the same exact way, yet some had 380 dollar price differences. I don't know how you could test them against each other, but I thought it would be interesting.
Oh yes I would love to see that. As a first-time homeowner with the limited budget and relatively weak small woman hand and arms I'm really interested in one that is light enough not to cause severe arm fatigue or heavy enough to cause a ladder to tip and at the same time as sturdy enough to hold up to multiple uses over the long term. If maintenance and cleaning different at all that would be important because I would imagine there's some pretty onerous cleaning required. Also if some are too powerful or big to use indoors that would be good to know. I'm sure they range from something barely works all the way to an industrial one that should last 20 years and I'd love to know the happy medium and the details!!
They don’t just look dangerous, they are dangerous. We had a small 3” saplings under compression. When the cutter made its way through, the sapling decompressed and snapped a wing off. It flew out at what seemed to be light speed. It ended up stuck about 2” into a felled tree about 6’ away!! I’m sooooo glad it didn’t hit anyone 😳
Serious question: are these even authorized for sale in the US? I’ve literally never seen anyone use one, nor have I seen one for sale at the big box stores.
I love it when the cheap brands beat the expensive brands. Yet another great quality control video that saves time, money and headaches. Thank you and God bless you
@@internet_internet yep. just bought a new truck and went out of my way to syphon what came in it out and to put the orange stuff in. just picked up some of there green stuff. suppose to help get bugs off. if it has the water beading benefits of the orange and can help get bugs off ill be super happy. you dont need a test video, just go buy a jug of the rainx orange stuff
Use a table saw without a safety guard or riving knife and the internet loses its collective mind Stick the same blade on the end of a pole with a motor, no one blinks an eye 🤣
You clearly do not know the physics involved. If the blade kicks, you are still extremely far away from it... due to the pole length (pivot distance), making it nearly impossible for it to be able to hit the OP. The length and dual hand operation, also gives you superior leverage, and control. A table saw kick, is a Whole different kind of animal. For one... your hands, arm, head, and body... are all close to it, and or in line with potential projectiles that fly from the blade. The power of a tablesaw is much greater... so its not going to slow down much on thick materials. The power also means that if it binds... any trapped wood becomes powerful enough to fly across the room at mach 5... and embed itself into the walls. And of course, the worst being the potential for your fingers / arm to bounce into the blade, after the wood gets kicked up from the table unexpectedly. The tablesaw kick is so much more powerful, so no matter how strong you are... if wood gets thrown around.. it will easily be ripped out of your grasp. Thats not going to happen on a weed whacker. The real danger of these things... is if there was anyone else near the operator. The blade could kick into them... and or any rocks or debris that were hit, could be launched into them. The possibility of anyone standing next to a person whos using such a blade, is going to be next to Zero.
What would be awesome is if PF would test the different pellet types for air guns! Does the shape really make a difference? The different brands? Accuracy, velocity, bullet drop, bullet penetration, etc? That would be really interessing as there isn't much informations on the package of these items. Thanks PF! Love your channel and is looking foward the next video!
@@nighthowler8107 The quote is mangled. Its "A hot knife through butter" Another mangled quote "Money is the root of all evil" Correct: "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil" I could go on
@@josiahpaul6895 Indeed. This episode certainly seemed like an instance of that lol If ever I need brush cutting done, I'm probably gonna pick up Kurt-Saw based on this. :D
Sometimes it works, even if you have to buy multiples of them and still cheaper than the one of the other brand. But other times, you are spending money right the first time.
Thank you. You come up with very comprehensive test parameters. My solution to this situation; as my circular saw blade gets a little dull I put it on the weed whacker, and get a new blade for the circular saw. The “dull” power saw blade makes short work of light pruning and hedge trimming. Essentially free, because the circular saw needed a new blade anyway. Hint: I use washers to keep the saw blade centered on the weed whacker arbor. I always wear the shoulder harness that came with the weed whacker. I want to make sure that blade can’t ever reach me.
that would be great with the testing standards of PF! I've definitely seen some comparisons that were not convincing :/ with the ol' c19 I'm also increasingly seeing dust respirators on that market that seem sketchy as heck.
This is precisely why I use the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, great power and very quick changing of heads. A fantastic machine which can cope with almost any job!
I am getting a Husqvarna 545FR brushcutter with a 45cc engine. I will be tackling all types of intense brush, saplings, small diameter trees 2-4 inches and a rather larger acreage of brush. What blade overall would you recommend? I am used to keeping my chainsaw chains extremely sharp and my engines very clean! Thank you for your help. Your videos are simply fabulous.
I use carbide blades to clear saplings. They last about an hour of non stop usage. I find the sap build up is why they stop cutting.. also, cutting the stumps down to the dirt to allow mowing is what I do. Adding these to your comparison would really help. Thx
For brush cutting work I finally settled on using a 3 tooth design blade, and bring a battery powered reciprocating saw for the thickest brush, trees and limbs. It's the most efficient on our farm for fence border trimming.
Forester Blade: Ideal for all brush-cutting applications! However, only use it to cut grass. Do not use for cutting brush as it could result in property damage, serious injury or death! Project Farm: Well, since it's marketed as a brush-cutting blade...we're gonna use it to cut brush anyways. x] Love it
I have a Stihl FS130 brush cutter. Been looking for the best blade myself. You didn't test several other blades made by Stihl. You did test the 3 blade grass blade. Stihl makes a 4 and 8 edge grass blades. The 4 edge blade can be flipped over for fresh edges. It will cut small trees somewhat but bogs down very quickly. The best is the one with 8 edges. Cuts lawn grass, heavy weeds, briars and small trees very well. Soft wood trees in the 3-4 range are cut with a single impact. Once the blade starts slowing up, it doesn't cut very well. It is easy enough to re-sharpen after T-post impact(got too close). However a power pole support cable impact dented and chipped all the teeth big time. It could be fixed but would require too much stock removal. Stihl also makes a chainsaw like blade. It isn't a grass blade and I haven't used yet. It is similar to the 8 tooth blade but more teeth and different cutting surface angles. Great job on all the testing. Lots of interesting information.
We use the stihl tri blade for large scale brush cutting of bulrush and bamboo stands. It’s by far the longest lasting blade for that type of work. Able to sharpened very easily. Hidden objects like rocks, steel pickets even fencing wire barely phase it. Brush over 50mm we usually take down with a chain saw. Though if the blade is freshly sharpened it can cut through larger objects. It’s a tough long lasting blade that more than makes up for the price. Buy once cry once.

Hi @Project Farm - I'm sure your hands get dirty from all the testing. Can you do a video about What Cleaning Products are the best on hands and skin? From regular dirt to engine oil to hydrophobic grease? How does olive oil do as a grease cleaner compared to purpose made cleaning products? I love your videos! Thanks for Sharing!
I'd love to see that. My job requires fixing old kitchen equipment and I have resorted to washing my hands with industrial degreaser because soap wouldn't do anything.
Hey every one make this the top comment I want to see this happen
My bet is on GOJO orange with pumice. 😉
Thank you for the video idea!
@LabRat Knatz Another "frowned upon" solution which works great is Tide laundry detergent. It totally dries your skin and if you have an open wound hurts like crazy (and is surely toxic), but I used to use that after working on an engine. Fortunately, it wasn't all the time. 😬
Package: Could cause serious injury or even death.
Me: Don't say it!
Farm: We're gunna test that.
lol Thanks for watching.
Don't buy it.
Please make sure your love ones and helpers are not nearby.
The Stihl is just insanely well made. I used one for years on heavy duty and its still in pretty good shape.
Thanks for the feedback.
That Stihl blade is amazing. I did environmental work where we did all landscaping for gaslines and powerlines. I’ve cleared trees up to 4” thick, bushes the size of minivans, and 50+ acres worth of knotweed. After about a month, the workload definitely wore it down and rounded it out but overall, I recommend it over its competition all day long.
I use the Stihl on the farm and it's probably the best compromise. The carbide style blades get damaged too easily when you touch something.
The stihl y shape mean you can even sharpen it , if u wish, and use it till its totally worn away
Can't recall which video it was specifically, but I had originally come to this channel for the reviews related to a particular product I was looking at. Now I'm firmly in the camp of "I don't even have or need one of those but I love seeing these reviews" for most of these, including this one. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
I think the "derusting weeding wheel" is meant to remove weeds between paving stones and such, where you cannot use any of the other blades.
Thanks for the feedback.
Highly recommend the Forester, I've put I through hell and still works great and you can sharpen it fairly easy.
Thanks for the feedback.
I love your product testing I’ve used a lot of the tools you’ve used and got the ones with best performance
Thank you very much!
Idk how this guy gives us all this information and still makes it under 15 min. Well done
Thanks!
Awesome 16 min after posting! I love your channel and I find everything you post very informative and interesting!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks to everyone for requesting this round 2 video! Also, wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day weekend! Finally, thanks for voting in the most recent poll for future video ideas. The voting is still underway, but right now electric pressure washers is in the lead at 37%, Drinking Water Filters 24%, Making/testing biodiesel 16%, Testing 10 brands of solar panels 15%, and 1000W power inverters 10%. You all mean a lot to me, and I really look forward to reading your comments every week! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
No, thank you!!!
Would recommend testing these 2 also from Stihl. Stihl OEM Parts Chisel Tooth Circular Saw Blade 225-24, Stihl Chisel Tooth Circular Saw Blade 200 mm/7.9", but of which are plain steel teeth, but easily sharpened and repaired when bent. None seem to handle fence rows with T-posts. Maybe you can test some specific to clearing fences?
And thank you for keeping us informed and entertained.
Its great to see your audience numbers going up. You deserve it!
I looked back and sure enough this is where the whole channel started, IE making your weedeater a MDK machine.
Good thing this wasn’t filmed in 3D, some of those wood chips looked like they headed straight for the camera!
lol Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectFarm thanks for doing the dangerous testing so we don't have to!
This is probably one of my favorite channels great quality and objective reviews as well as good commentary and viewer suggestions are taken into account as well
Thanks!
Excellent testing as always! Hopefully you didn't suffer any bodily injuries from carbide teeth flying off the blades, it was definitely a hazardous work environment. LOL. Thanks for all the hard work!
Thank you very much!
I mean technically he could test those fire starter wood things and kill two birds with one stone
I ordered a brush cutter attachment for my weed eater 2 hours before you uploaded this.
That's how it always happens.
Sorry I'm 2 hours late!
@@bertall1ca yes it is
@@ProjectFarm that’s ok I will consider a new blade for it
SEND IT BACK and order the Kurt-Saw!
I want one of your "We're going to test that!" t-shirts! Awesome!
Thank you! I have them on the mech website. project-farm.com/
nice 👍
Just watched this again in July 2024. Love 💛 your product reviews and I purchased two of the blades you recommended. Still for grass and non-woody brush, and the Forester chainsaw blade for woody brush. Thank you for doing such a good job on these reviews!!! 👃
You are welcome!

This one was great! I'm currently doing body work on a vehicle and would love to see a showdown between the different automotive rust preventative coatings like KBS Rust Seal, POR15, Rust Bullet, etc. Things like rust prevention, durability, scratch resistance, UV effects, and impact resistance. Your channel has been invaluable to me. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
I'd love to see a video on Hammers, Prybars, and pliers.
Thanks for the video idea.
I appreciate people who lead the pack in any task, this team of testers are the leaders of the pack, well thought out tests.
Thanks!
It may not have won, but I'll start buying the Swedish made ones, tired of my dollars funding China's military.
Thank you!
The “weeding” wheel would be great for prepping heavy equipment for paint lol
Thanks for the feedback.
I'd love to see a comparison of 2-stroke oil and engines running a 2-stroke engine off different mix ratios- 40:1 vs 50:1 etc. Would be fun to see how this affects Stihls "4mix" motors.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Just came back to this video to guide my purchase. You the man Todd.
Thanks!
After putting this video’s results to a practical exercise at home, I now request a poison ivy remedy / medicine comparison video! Thanks for the great vids!
YES! HAHAHA
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm a professional landscaper and I can tell you; the best thing to do is to wash all exposed skin thoroughly with (in order of effectiveness) Orange clean automotive/shop hand cleaner, simple green, or dawn. Really scrub your skin like you're trying to clean off axle grease. Poison ivy has an oil that takes up to 8 hours to penetrate your skin and the rash appears 24-48h later, as long as you wash all your exposed skin thoroughly with a cleaner that dissolves oil, you won't break out no matter how deep you got into it. Also wash any clothing you were wearing using a type of soap that dissolves oil. Rinse twice, and wash these clothes separate from any other clothing as the oil can transfer in the wash and you will end up with ivy rash on your love handles, chest, legs, etc days and weeks later and have no idea where it came from.
Nothing in my 71 years of experience works better than vinegar. Pour it over the affected area and wipe in with your hand. Pour some more on and let dry. Do not dry it or use a fan or anything else to speed it up. Grab a beer and relax. It should be gone within 15 minutes. I've used this method for about 20 years and everyone I've used it on can't believe how well it works.
Well, figure out how Cousin Eddie can do it and maybe you have a proposal.
Best day of the week
Thank you very much!
It would be interesting to see the wire wheel looking blade removing grass from between stone path tiles. I can't really see it doing anything else effectively.
Thanks for sharing.
One of the best learning channels on you tube and save money while getting quality items.
Thanks so much!
Speaking of blades, how often have you hit a screw or a nail when cutting with brand new blade... Circ saw/miter saw blade test would be really interesting. Curious to see which one holds up best.
Thank you! I've found lots of hidden barbed wire fence on my old farm. It ruins blades almost immediately as the carbide teeth are ripped away
Congratulations on your consistency.. For a second, I thought this was a re-upload :D
You are welcome!
You have me so conditioned that when you are poking at the teeth I'm expecting to hear "The ______ has a hardness of _."

The selling power of Project Farm. Both the #1 and #2 best blades are unavailable. You just have to love a great testing demonstration to prove the worth of a product!
Thanks!
Let's frreaking goooooooo always a good day when Project Farm posts
Thank you very much!
I think it would help a lot of us if you did comparisons of different brand of light bulbs. 😀💡
Thanks for the video idea.
Recently I needed an HVLP paint sprayer for work. I thought it was strange that the prices went all the way from 29.99 to 400 dollars. Every gun looked to be built the same exact way, yet some had 380 dollar price differences.
I don't know how you could test them against each other, but I thought it would be interesting.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh yes I would love to see that. As a first-time homeowner with the limited budget and relatively weak small woman hand and arms I'm really interested in one that is light enough not to cause severe arm fatigue or heavy enough to cause a ladder to tip and at the same time as sturdy enough to hold up to multiple uses over the long term. If maintenance and cleaning different at all that would be important because I would imagine there's some pretty onerous cleaning required. Also if some are too powerful or big to use indoors that would be good to know. I'm sure they range from something barely works all the way to an industrial one that should last 20 years and I'd love to know the happy medium and the details!!
We enjoy watching you test products against their claims! Thank you for your time you put into these videos to inform us! That's why we watch.
You are so welcome!
I'm absolutely gobsmacked that you have never done a video on oil filters. Please do this.
Thanks for the suggestion.
This is perfect timing, I'm literally looking for this right now for some rilly thick bushes
Excellent! There are some great options from which to choose.
@@ProjectFarm Thank you for what you do, I try and watch all your videos and they truly help when I find my self at Lowe's or Home Depot
I'm scared of my little strimmer cord. Those things in the video are thing's of nightmares. I think I know which one I'm most scared of now.
Yeah, i have the Stihl one and it is pretty scary when you hit something hard bymistake like a hidden rock or a thick branch lmao
If those can cut through 3.5 inch tree I’m sure it could cut through your leg with little effort
They don’t just look dangerous, they are dangerous. We had a small 3” saplings under compression. When the cutter made its way through, the sapling decompressed and snapped a wing off. It flew out at what seemed to be light speed. It ended up stuck about 2” into a felled tree about 6’ away!! I’m sooooo glad it didn’t hit anyone 😳
@@landscapingspecialist yeah that would've been deadly
Serious question: are these even authorized for sale in the US? I’ve literally never seen anyone use one, nor have I seen one for sale at the big box stores.
I love it when the cheap brands beat the expensive brands. Yet another great quality control video that saves time, money and headaches. Thank you and God bless you
You are welcome!
You should try the stihl woodcut ones Not really fair to compare those other blades to that one
How about a video on windshield washer fluid, I always seem to struggle on finding a good one
Thanks for the video idea.
Rainx orange stuff
& clean your wiper blades
@@internet_internet yep. just bought a new truck and went out of my way to syphon what came in it out and to put the orange stuff in. just picked up some of there green stuff. suppose to help get bugs off. if it has the water beading benefits of the orange and can help get bugs off ill be super happy. you dont need a test video, just go buy a jug of the rainx orange stuff
Use a table saw without a safety guard or riving knife and the internet loses its collective mind
Stick the same blade on the end of a pole with a motor, no one blinks an eye 🤣
You clearly do not know the physics involved. If the blade kicks, you are still extremely far away from it... due to the pole length (pivot distance), making it nearly impossible for it to be able to hit the OP. The length and dual hand operation, also gives you superior leverage, and control.
A table saw kick, is a Whole different kind of animal. For one... your hands, arm, head, and body... are all close to it, and or in line with potential projectiles that fly from the blade. The power of a tablesaw is much greater... so its not going to slow down much on thick materials. The power also means that if it binds... any trapped wood becomes powerful enough to fly across the room at mach 5... and embed itself into the walls. And of course, the worst being the potential for your fingers / arm to bounce into the blade, after the wood gets kicked up from the table unexpectedly.
The tablesaw kick is so much more powerful, so no matter how strong you are... if wood gets thrown around.. it will easily be ripped out of your grasp. Thats not going to happen on a weed whacker.
The real danger of these things... is if there was anyone else near the operator. The blade could kick into them... and or any rocks or debris that were hit, could be launched into them. The possibility of anyone standing next to a person whos using such a blade, is going to be next to Zero.
@@johndough8115 If you want to be all technical about it 👍🤓
@@johndough8115 jeez calm down. It was a throwaway humourous comment.
Happy mother's day from Canada!
Thank you and I wish you and everyone the same!
Never wanted or thought I needed a brush cutter but after watching this video I now know that I do Thank you.
You are welcome!
What would be awesome is if PF would test the different pellet types for air guns! Does the shape really make a difference? The different brands? Accuracy, velocity, bullet drop, bullet penetration, etc? That would be really interessing as there isn't much informations on the package of these items.
Thanks PF! Love your channel and is looking foward the next video!
Advertisers: "the world's most durable blade, can cut through anything like hot butter"

Thanks for watching.

Isn't the quote a hot knife through butter? Hot butter is liquid. :)
@@eddiefoy3701 hot/warm butter is softer and easier to cut but you get the idea
@@nighthowler8107 The quote is mangled. Its "A hot knife through butter" Another mangled quote "Money is the root of all evil" Correct: "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil" I could go on

@@josiahpaul6895 Indeed. This episode certainly seemed like an instance of that lol
If ever I need brush cutting done, I'm probably gonna pick up Kurt-Saw based on this. :D
Sometimes it works, even if you have to buy multiples of them and still cheaper than the one of the other brand.
But other times, you are spending money right the first time.
Can you test diffrent dremels/rotary tools? I would love to see that!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
can you please do the biofuel video 👏
Yes, I'll definitely do it soon. Thank you
Thank you.
You come up with very comprehensive test parameters.
My solution to this situation; as my circular saw blade gets a little dull I put it on the weed whacker, and get a new blade for the circular saw. The “dull” power saw blade makes short work of light pruning and hedge trimming. Essentially free, because the circular saw needed a new blade anyway.
Hint: I use washers to keep the saw blade centered on the weed whacker arbor.
I always wear the shoulder harness that came with the weed whacker. I want to make sure that blade can’t ever reach me.
Thanks for the feedback.
Cant wait to see the electric power washer video. Happy mothers day to you and your family!
Thanks for the suggestion. Happy Mother's Day!
That brush “blade” looks like you could use it to polish rusty steel
now i want to try my trimmer with a wire wheel for stripping paint 🤔
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ShowAndTool you could make one of those “tool restoration” Chanel’s on TH-cam 😂
Great video. I would like to see face mask or air respirators video comparison.
Thank you for the video idea!
that would be great with the testing standards of PF! I've definitely seen some comparisons that were not convincing :/ with the ol' c19 I'm also increasingly seeing dust respirators on that market that seem sketchy as heck.
This is precisely why I use the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, great power and very quick changing of heads. A fantastic machine which can cope with almost any job!
Thanks for sharing.
I am getting a Husqvarna 545FR brushcutter with a 45cc engine. I will be tackling all types of intense brush, saplings, small diameter trees 2-4 inches and a rather larger acreage of brush. What blade overall would you recommend?
I am used to keeping my chainsaw chains extremely sharp and my engines very clean! Thank you for your help. Your videos are simply fabulous.
Didn't this already get tested previously?
Sorry, I should have mentioned that this is round 2 with more blades that were requested by viewers

Thanks for watching!
Same, I was rolling. Love this channel
I use carbide blades to clear saplings. They last about an hour of non stop usage. I find the sap build up is why they stop cutting..
also, cutting the stumps down to the dirt to allow mowing is what I do.
Adding these to your comparison would really help. Thx

@@danish4798 Hey there!👍🏻
For brush cutting work I finally settled on using a 3 tooth design blade, and bring a battery powered reciprocating saw for the thickest brush, trees and limbs. It's the most efficient on our farm for fence border trimming.
Thanks for sharing.
I love this channel so much. I live in the city and do not have any brush. Yet I watched the entire video
Awesome! Thank you!
Forester Blade: Ideal for all brush-cutting applications! However, only use it to cut grass. Do not use for cutting brush as it could result in property damage, serious injury or death!
Project Farm: Well, since it's marketed as a brush-cutting blade...we're gonna use it to cut brush anyways.
x] Love it
Thanks for sharing.
My god. This man has replied to every single comment. Awesome video my guy. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing.
I have a Stihl FS130 brush cutter. Been looking for the best blade myself. You didn't test several other blades made by Stihl. You did test the 3 blade grass blade. Stihl makes a 4 and 8 edge grass blades. The 4 edge blade can be flipped over for fresh edges. It will cut small trees somewhat but bogs down very quickly. The best is the one with 8 edges. Cuts lawn grass, heavy weeds, briars and small trees very well. Soft wood trees in the 3-4 range are cut with a single impact. Once the blade starts slowing up, it doesn't cut very well. It is easy enough to re-sharpen after T-post impact(got too close). However a power pole support cable impact dented and chipped all the teeth big time. It could be fixed but would require too much stock removal. Stihl also makes a chainsaw like blade. It isn't a grass blade and I haven't used yet. It is similar to the 8 tooth blade but more teeth and different cutting surface angles.
Great job on all the testing. Lots of interesting information.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I appreciate that you have a video for almost every question I need answered!
Happy to help!
We use the stihl tri blade for large scale brush cutting of bulrush and bamboo stands. It’s by far the longest lasting blade for that type of work. Able to sharpened very easily. Hidden objects like rocks, steel pickets even fencing wire barely phase it. Brush over 50mm we usually take down with a chain saw. Though if the blade is freshly sharpened it can cut through larger objects.
It’s a tough long lasting blade that more than makes up for the price. Buy once cry once.
Thanks for sharing.
Tri blade is for tall grass
