  • This episode of Tool Review Tuesday features my advice for choosing the top 3 Diablo reciprocating saw blades. The blades each 9" long and made of of carbide. One blade is for steel cutting, one is for wood and pruning, and the third one is a combination for nail embedded wood. These blades work well in my Ridgid Megamax 18V saw as well as my Milwaukee 8amp Sawzall.

    Question of the day: What reciprocating saw blade would you use the most? Would you prune your trees with the Diable Pruning Blade?

    The most common problem I see with people choosing recip saw blades is they always go for the wrong blade size, meaning for whatever reason they think a longer blade is better. just like the three blades that you chose for this video that are supposed to be essential blades for your kit are all 9 inch blades. Yes 9 inch blades have their place, liike that cedar 6 by 6. However for the majority of cutting tasks that the use of a reciprocating saw is going to be used on a six inch blade is the best choice. Hardly ever would somebody be grabbing a reciprocating saw to cut something that at its smallest cross-section be more than 6 in. You had a 6 x 6, and that is perfectly fine to use a 9 inch blade for that, however most people are going to be using it to cut 2 x material or 4 x material, and for this a 6 inch blade is best choice. when having a blade that is too long for the application at hand excessive flapping back and forth at the end of your blade is common and this leads to premature blade failure in binding, bending, or breaking of the blade. And the majority of the time you are only using the first 2 or 3 in of your blade no matter what blade you you are using. This point is validated by the excessive wobble and flipping back and forth of your played when you were cutting a piece of metal in your jaw horse if the tip of the blade is flapping back and forth excessively and that means that you have chosen a blade that is too long for the task at hand in your who played is not suitable for that application. I agree with your three choices cuz blades but not the length of the blades that you are recommending to be getting. Joe I believe that a six-inch blade is the best choice for most applications I would say for every 5 blades near kit four of them should be 6 in.

    I just picked up a Diablo variety pack on black friday and they are great blades. Having only used the cheap Harbor Freight blades then going to Diablos blew me away at how good they really are. I might give Milwaukee blades a try because I hear they’re great also, but I know for a fact I’ll always have some Diablos close by!

    • @MarkThomasBuilder

    I cut some thick roots. I bought the Diablo 12” pruning blade thinking it’ll do the job. It did, slowly. I later bought the Diablo 12” demo blade for another tree’s roots. Oh wow! It cut so much better and quick!

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh wow, that's interesting. I should test that out the next time I have roots to deal with. I'd also like to test the orbital settings on my Sawzall while doing so.

    I just purchased a 15 amp Milwaukee Orbital SawZall ($199.99
    + tax) to remove tile adhesive using scraper that came with adapter for use with
    this saw. Well, the part of the adapter that goes into the shank quickly broke
    and I had to disassemble the shank to remove the broken piece. Now, it turns
    out that this tool is a saw and it is not design for this type of work. So now,
    I am trying to find out what to do with this saw. Use it on what? I am into
    auto repair and welding so watching your video gave me some ideas. Thank you
    for your time and sharing you knowledge.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'd go with the pruning blade. I recently did just that and the blade held up very well. It seems counterintuitive to put a blade in the ground, but it can be done.

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If it's too long, it can jam into something and bend. For instance if you're cutting a root in the ground, it can hit a rock or something and bend.

    What saw blade do you use the most? One for cutting steel, wood, or a combo blade?

    • @nsatoday
      @nsatoday 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      markthomasbuilder , usually metal blade or combo. Because if I’m cutting wood it probably has nails or screws in it. And a metal blade works for PVC conduit etc

    • @MarkThomasBuilder
      @MarkThomasBuilder  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I was helping some guys fill a dumpster today and I ended up using the combo blade to cut some stuff down. If you just throw it in there, it fills up too fast. You're right, there's usually nails in stuff that needs cutting, especially doing demo work.
