That's really sweet of you to let the Warrior go first so it can be the "leader" for a round. It needs that self esteem boost :) Great vid, great test!
@@stevenbastian3882 Participation trophy? That's the problem, how is that going to reflect on the American made blades? I'll tell you, they'll become down trodden, miscreants, they'll never be allowed on an airplane because of this artificial ego boost.
I did a demo job on an aluminum Lanai recently. I used Warrior and Diablo blades, the Diablo blades cost twice as much as the Warrior. I thrashed 7 blades taking the structure down, my take is that the Diablo blades resisted destruction about 25% better than the Warriors. When I cut the pieces up into easy to handle sections(clamped to sawhorses with no pinching, stubbing, cutting steel fasteners and less vibration) I used a Warrior blade until it was too dull to cut then switched to a Diablo and finished the job with it. The Diablo did 4.5 times as many cuts as the Warrior and was still fit to use(barely) and cut faster(much) than the Warrior. If I were to do this job again I would have used nothing but the Warrior blades for the blade thrashing first part and only the Diablo for the more controlled 2nd part. I am a machinist and I have found that sometimes a cheap cutter is the way to go.
I love this guys tests. He puts so much thought into them and is impartial.. I go with his out comes all the time.. I do go with advanti blades though... Thru are good.. Just have to be careful not to bend them.. Nice and thin for battery reciprocating saws.
Another great video! One variance I think we're overlooking, is that the wood will change density and hardness as you cut through and move along the board. This may affect the speed at which these blades saw through the wood.
Why isnt the Avanti blade your favorite as it performed better or the same in most categories and cost $1.70 less than the Diablo. Especially since you believe they are made in the same factory.
Wheres the irwin blades for being a cheap blade they are the best ive used ive used their wood and metal combo blades cutting steel up against a Milwaukee torch blade and they blew right past the Milwaukee at half the price
Pretzeling might be good, the fact if it comes into contact with something hard would essentially sacrifice itself to keep the blade from shattering preventing injury or damaging the saw/operator. Long while back I was using one and the tip hit something and the saw came back and it damn near broke my wrist, the blade did not bend.
Drywall, 'deck' and all those type screws are heat treated and likely harder than even those bi-metal teeth on the blades...time for the $Carbide$....nails are drawn from cold rolled steel wire and are also pretty hard and tough....pallet nails are some of the worst.
Project Farm that’ll be cool. I saw a Milwaukee ad on the ‘tube where they were cutting car body shells in two with one of their carbide blades. It looked impressive but I won’t believe it until I hear it from you ;)
Drill bits are tougher to test, some are better for different materials, as well as speed, lube, no lube. It really does depend on what you're working on.
@Bernhard Jordan bits for steel obviously.. personally i have a set of cheapo TiN coated HSS bits i used when theres a chance of snapped or burning them up but when doing alot of holes in mild steel in good positioning or even the drill press i have a set of HSSCo bits made with no coating but 5% cobalt throughout theyre unbeatable for mild steel can drill though 2" with no lubriation the bit doesnt mind at all as long as you have a decent feed/speed
@@ProjectFarm have been interested in if the Walter Cobalt or Norseman Cobalt bits are worth the money for a set, theyre much better than titanium nitrate coated bits but is there much difference between cheaper cobalt bits and the walter/norseman that get solid reviews all the time
I do plumbing and heating. I’ve used all of these blades throughout my career and as far as my opinion goes the Diablo may not be the fastest cutting, but i get way more overall life from Diablo blades then any other
as another plumber commenting on this, the diablo or lennox are the only blades that should be used for actual work. nothing even comes close to their durability.
Todd, has a manufacturer ever contacted you after a video asking for a retest because they've improved their product or believe their product didn't get a fair test? If so, how did you respond? (Obviously without sponsorship)
Thank you. I've yet to have a manufacturer cry "foul", but I have had quite a few ask that weren't tested request that I test them in the future. I attempt to provide a fair and unbiased "real world" test and I believe most manufacturers like that. I haven't had any manufacturer contact me informing me that they've improved their products. If they did, I would likely test their product again with me buying the product from a retail store. I never allow them to mail products to me. I want to test the products consumers purchase, not a product that might have been altered. Thanks again.
Hey, really appreciate your claim testing and product comparison videos. Very scientific. One product category I'd love to see you test is fuel additives that claim to restore gas that is old/stale/contaminated (e.g. by water). There are a few products of that nature for sale here in Canada, probably similar in the US. Was thinking about this the other day after draining about 20l of old, rusty, water contaminated gas from an old car I bought for parts... Seems like a waste to dispose of that sort of thing if it could be made usable.
I was looking something up and then this notification popped up and I accidentally hit. I was ah stupid thing but then saw that was your upload and decided my google search can wait.
I remember sawing a beam in a particularly bad location and sawed it bent 90 degrees with a Lenox blade. Hard to believe it could perform bent like that but it cut all the way through. I had to hand bend it back to shape and kept using it. Amazing.
Those people that give videos a thumbs down need to try creating themselves! Another great video Tod, always loving your interesting and factual content 👍
Do oscillating tool blades please! I just wore out my wood/metal blade trying to get through a single 2x4 with only part of 1 screw! I came to project farm to find a better blade. Keep up the good work, I often check your channel before I go to lowes/HD, saves me a lot of time and grief.
Another great video. Wondering if you have ever done a video on circular saw blades. Specifically for battery operated saws. Many blades claim up to 30% more cuts per charge due to their patented blade designs and such. Would be curious how well this holds up.
Haha This was one of my favorites, I love when he says “if your like me they have cost me both time and money” haha yep, I never realized just how hard those damn drywall screws were. Great test PF...
No wonder I'm shouting and moaning when I hit dry wall screws I never thought they were hard to cut thanks to your videos I will now go at dry walls screws completely different your videos are helpful in over all wisdom
Poor Harbor Freight, do _any_ of their "consumable" products ever hold up? Even with sales & coupons- are you saving money with such low quality? That sounds like false economy to me.
Great point on the "penny wise and pound foolish". I believe some of their products are decent, but not their warrior blades. They will cost a person time and money compared to blades like the Avanti, which doesn't cost all that much more.
@@ProjectFarm agree 100%. Some things like car jacks and gloves are decent from HF. But any tools that are very dependent on hardening and quality stink, such as drill bits,drivers, and blades.
Kind of disappointed in the Warrior blades throughout this thing. Save your money on that crap. PS: I like that you used the same blade for all the tests, so we can see durability of the blades.
Me too. I like to save money too, but the warrior just isn't a good blade. Harbor Freight needs to pick up their game and select blade suppliers that make quality products!
Hi, could you do a test with "Ravenol Engine Cleaner" ? I read that it should be relatively aggressive and therefore has a good cleaning effect. Unfortunately, I could not find any videos about it. Thank you Greetings from Germany, Nico
Great point. I could tell by the blade speed that the Milwaukee Ax required the most power due to it's aggressive "bubba teeth" blade design. I doubt the electric use would matter enough to notice.
@@ProjectFarm MIght make a difference if you were using a cordless saw. Having to change out batteries in the middle of a job can be a pain in the rear. Otherwise, I totally agree that the power use would not matter on a corded saw.
@@TheKajunkat depending on what your cutting the more aggressive design will also get through faster, so it's possible it could use less power even though it has a higher draw.
Man that Avanti blade for the price is phenomenal. I'm impressed. Excellent video as always! I definitely appreciate all you do. Makes my decisions so much easier.
Great test. Don't know how much I like this super rushed/speedy production. I have a hard time soaking up all the info. I understand there was a lot to cover in this video though
Yeah, it was already 12 minutes. But i also get where you’re coming from. The slow motion montages are very relaxing/fun to watch. I loved the side by side editing in this one though.
Sometimes the talking is just a little too fast, and the info screens are just too quick. I feel like a slowed down 15min is much better than a rushed 12 min. I feel like I'm watching a "last time on" tv intro rather than the actual episode
I don't use it much, but the slowdown feature is good for times when you want to absorb more. I wouldn't mind a 25 min video, but I guess a lot of others do. I hear people bitch when vids are much longer than 10 mins.
Diablo and Avanti are both Freud products. They are typically very similar, the main difference being region of manufacture. Typically, Diablo are Italian, while Avanti are typically Chinese. There are however exceptions. Avanti is marketed as a budget version while Diablo is marketed as premium.
I'm not really convinced that you used the right thing to cut, considering this time of year. I'd suggest fruit cake. And you thought that I was going to suggest a cheese, weren't you?
Love your vids! Keep up the good work. One little complaint; maybe its just me, but the on screen text disappears(spelling?) way too fast, i had to rewind at least 3 times to read the text. Same "problem" in all of your latest videos. Love from Sweden!
Two potential unintentional variables to consider during the drop test: When choosing what height to drop from, you should measure from the tip of the blade. If any blade is a different length than the rest, dropping from the bump stop like you did may result in the blade experiencing more force upon impact. Though probably less important, each drop may create small craters or cuts in the wood, causing the next blade to bind differently upon impact. All said, I am very thankful that you create these wonderful tests. Multiple times have I referred back to your videos for specific products.
As a house flipper, let me say that homeowners will shove a sheetrock screw just about anywhere. 🤦 I've sawzalled through a LOT of headless sheetrock screws over the years.
As a professional carpenter, I use the Lenox and Milwaukee, as those are the two brands my supplier carries. In the real world, in my opinion, the Lenox is far superior to the Milwaukee. The Lenox cuts through nails much better, especially after some use. In my use, the Milwaukee is nearly equal to the Lenox when new, but once it hits a nail or two, it turns to crap. The reality is that I rarely use a new blade. I store my sawzall without a blade (won’t fit in its case otherwise), so when I go to use it, I grab the first blade I see, which is almost invariably well used. The first time I used a Lenox after months of using Milwaukee, I was blown away. I recently grabbed a Milwaukee from a coworker and immediately remembered why I quit using them. I can promise you that, in the field, the Lenox is better than the Milwaukee.
I love these videos, while I am more likely to use oil/ gas additives, sawzall blades are good to know what does best. In the past I've used diablo blades on exhaust and Milwaukee blades on wood, really impressed with the two of them. By the way, April fools day is on a Monday, maybe have a spoof test of something like kitty litter or which brand of flour bakes a better cake
not done with the video but 2nd test with the landscaping spike and 4x4 the dewalt may have been slowed some when having to cut threw the knot in the wood too.
Your test methods are creative, you don't accept anything from manufacturers, you are fully unbiased, and you are thorough. I see you having 500K subscribers by this time next year. Keep up the amazing testing.
Great video. I think a better test would have been testing how many cuts each blade lasts, using a 4x4 with a nail per blade. One blade may win the speed test but what if it only lasts 2 cuts while the slower blade lasts 8 cuts? That is one big part of us buying blades, how long they will last
I love your videos! Your videos are very helpful and the infromation is real, not paid info like if you would get paid for telling some bullshit out of some brand! I like the way that you dont want to get sponsored by any brands! Keep it up Project farm!
This series has been fascinating with lots of practical information. Thanks so much for this! What kind of blade would you recommend for cutting bolts? A lot of times we end up cutting suspension bolts in automotive work and it would be great to find a blade that can do the job without too much fuss.
Any idea if the screws already being cut would have allowed them to rotate along with the blade, giving an advantage to the blades that got to cut fresh screws?
Great question. I don't believe the screws rotated any. I would have seen the screws "back out" some if they did, since the upward sweep of the blade would have unscrewed the screws some. Again, great question!
Thank you for this series. Just bought a sawzall with no blades, so now I know where to start! I've watched some of your other work also, I love the way you try to make it as scientific as possible. Keep up the great work!
Your videos just keep getting better! It's amazing how much you pack into 12 minutes. Your editing skills are envious. And that dang teaser, you've got me guessing.
Thank you very much! Yes, that teaser is the Lenox carbide demolition blade. I'll test it again the Milwaukee and Diablo carbide blades in the next 2 episodes. Thanks again!
That's really sweet of you to let the Warrior go first so it can be the "leader" for a round. It needs that self esteem boost :) Great vid, great test!

Thank you very much for the constructive feedback. I'll try to do better with this.
Maybe try run used engine oil mixed with gas in an engine and see if it will run
Thanks for the video idea!
Two potential unintentional variables to consider during the drop test:
When choosing what height to drop from, you should measure from the tip of the blade. If any blade is a different length than the rest, dropping from the bump stop like you did may result in the blade experiencing more force upon impact.
Though probably less important, each drop may create small craters or cuts in the wood, causing the next blade to bind differently upon impact.
All said, I am very thankful that you create these wonderful tests. Multiple times have I referred back to your videos for specific products.
Great constructive feedback. Thank you
As a house flipper, let me say that homeowners will shove a sheetrock screw just about anywhere. 🤦
I've sawzalled through a LOT of headless sheetrock screws over the years.
Thanks for sharing.
5,317 thumbs up compared to 48 down!!!!!!! wow you should be at 1 mil subs soon. Always great vids
Thank you very much!!
As a professional carpenter, I use the Lenox and Milwaukee, as those are the two brands my supplier carries. In the real world, in my opinion, the Lenox is far superior to the Milwaukee. The Lenox cuts through nails much better, especially after some use. In my use, the Milwaukee is nearly equal to the Lenox when new, but once it hits a nail or two, it turns to crap.
The reality is that I rarely use a new blade. I store my sawzall without a blade (won’t fit in its case otherwise), so when I go to use it, I grab the first blade I see, which is almost invariably well used. The first time I used a Lenox after months of using Milwaukee, I was blown away. I recently grabbed a Milwaukee from a coworker and immediately remembered why I quit using them. I can promise you that, in the field, the Lenox is better than the Milwaukee.
Thank you. Your experience seems consistent with the test results.
In my experience, harbor freight hand tools are mostly pretty good, but their power tools are hit or miss.
Thank you for the feedback
I know this isn't the right video for this but do you think it would be possible to make and test a 3D printed engine block?
Thanks for the video idea! That would be a fun one.
Didn't find Muzuki on Spotify, but found Bad Snacks. Good tunes, thank you!
Thanks for the feedback.
It's been 3 weeks since this video, did I miss the video with the ridiculous blade? The suspense is killing me.
I need to publish that video soon. Sorry for the delay.
I love these videos, while I am more likely to use oil/ gas additives, sawzall blades are good to know what does best. In the past I've used diablo blades on exhaust and Milwaukee blades on wood, really impressed with the two of them.
By the way, April fools day is on a Monday, maybe have a spoof test of something like kitty litter or which brand of flour bakes a better cake
Thanks for the constructive feedback and great April fool's idea!
Diablo carbide blades are only ones I use. Everything else is inferior.
Thanks for the feedback.
not done with the video but 2nd test with the landscaping spike and 4x4 the dewalt may have been slowed some when having to cut threw the knot in the wood too.
Thank you!
Your test methods are creative, you don't accept anything from manufacturers, you are fully unbiased, and you are thorough.
I see you having 500K subscribers by this time next year. Keep up the amazing testing.
Thank you very much!
I'm a lenox man myself! They seem to last longest for me. Thanks for taking the time to set up these tests! I'm really enjoying the videos!
Thank You
I love your vids they save me alot of money buying over hyped products
Thanks for sharing.
While you were cutting through the drywall screws I thought, you should test different styles/methods of EZ Outs.
Great video idea! Thank you!
Companies wont sponsor you because theyre scared that theyre lies come out but matter of time it will
Thank you. I've had a lot of offers but decline all of them. I don't want any pressure from manufacturers to make bad products look good.
Great video. I think a better test would have been testing how many cuts each blade lasts, using a 4x4 with a nail per blade. One blade may win the speed test but what if it only lasts 2 cuts while the slower blade lasts 8 cuts? That is one big part of us buying blades, how long they will last
Thank you for the constructive feedback.
Project Farm thank you for all the great content
I love your videos! Your videos are very helpful and the infromation is real, not paid info like if you would get paid for telling some bullshit out of some brand! I like the way that you dont want to get sponsored by any brands! Keep it up Project farm!
Thank you very much! I'll continue to say "no" to sponsorship opportunities.
This series has been fascinating with lots of practical information. Thanks so much for this! What kind of blade would you recommend for cutting bolts? A lot of times we end up cutting suspension bolts in automotive work and it would be great to find a blade that can do the job without too much fuss.
I would highly recommend the Diablo Carbide or the Lenox Carbide thick steel blades. I test them in episode 4. Thanks again.
@@ProjectFarm Thanks! can't wait for the episode!
I think this one video covered all the questions.
The best one on the blades to date! Good work sir!
And thank you!
Thank you very much!
Everytime I do some things all way watch your show 😜
Thanks for watching!
What if the warrior blade heated up the screw enough to ruin the hardening or temper
Thanks for the video idea!
Didn’t use the top dog diablo. Try it! Great video though
Thank you. Testing the carbide blades in episodes 3 and 4.
Any idea if the screws already being cut would have allowed them to rotate along with the blade, giving an advantage to the blades that got to cut fresh screws?
Great question. I don't believe the screws rotated any. I would have seen the screws "back out" some if they did, since the upward sweep of the blade would have unscrewed the screws some. Again, great question!
@@ProjectFarm Good point! Thanks for the reply.
Your tests are so proper and unbiased I like watching them all even if they don't all apply to my doings. Your channel is awesome. Appreciate it!
Thank you!
Thank you for this series. Just bought a sawzall with no blades, so now I know where to start! I've watched some of your other work also, I love the way you try to make it as scientific as possible. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Your videos just keep getting better! It's amazing how much you pack into 12 minutes. Your editing skills are envious. And that dang teaser, you've got me guessing.
Thank you very much! Yes, that teaser is the Lenox carbide demolition blade. I'll test it again the Milwaukee and Diablo carbide blades in the next 2 episodes. Thanks again!
What happens if you put to much oil in the crankcase?
Thanks for the video idea!
Thanks for taking the time for all of the reviews you do! Helps out a lot for DIYers!
Thank you!
Top notch vid -- keep it up. Some practical repair videos would be nice, perhaps "How to rebuild a lawnmower carb using a kit".
Great video idea! Thank you
