    new sawsall blades

    I bought these yesterday, double duty torch blades, they have hexagons on the side, the teeth are designe to give a wide kerf, and where the blade goes in the saw they have indentions stamped or pressed in them making them stronger at the breaking point, the first pic below shows a dewalt end broke off, I cut three converters off so far with one of these new blades

    I have seen those a few times and have been tempted to spend the extra money. Are the better than the Diablo blades? Those have served me well.

    they were $17 for 5 im sure ill be able to find them cheaper online, the only diablo blades I buy are the 12in speed demons and they are really flexible compared to the Milwaukee, a different kind of blade but at the moment im going with the Milwaukee because of the indentions, cutting converters I break a lot of blades at the saw

    we only use the torch blades at the shop and all we use it for is cutting exhaust on cars a blade usually lasts a week so maybe 10 cars or so, dont press to hard on them let the saw do the work and they will last quite a while

    Not to hijack your thread but I just bought these the other day. I have found them to be pretty good but not the best.

    These ones here with the gold teeth seem to last forever. I get them at a local hardware store for about 4.50 a piece. I Have cut an oil tank into 4 sections with one blade. Just thought I would mention it as the sawzall is a mighty handy scrap weapon.

    don't worry about hijacking, that's what this is for, I bought some of those also several months ago and we liked them to, as far as the best I don't think there is one, I cut converters mostly, on a Chrysler minivan for example on the top I use a lenox 12in wood cutting blade weird right, but its stiff enough not to bend and its a hard cut no matter how you approach it, ive even cut the floorboard outa the car to get to it. if I use the same blade on a breadloaf it will eat through the teeth in seconds. we see this a lot and buy lots of different blades, about the only ones im sick of are dewalt. Irwin makes a good blade also

    Digging up this thread in order to find some bulk blades to cut up this farm implement. Hoping these will do the job (Milwaukee Torch Blades)
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I use the torch blades and really like them Although, they don't see much of the heavy duty metal you're looking at.

    I use the dewalt 2x life blades. Alittle pricey (for me) but they are pretty good

    I have used Torch Blades to cut 3 x 3 x 1/4 in thick material and they worked well...I kept them well oiled tho.

    I have had very good luck with those
    Try to keep the speed down and they last longer

    and to make them go back and forth >> Lowes has the DeWalt sawzall I use on sale for $79.00
    Shop DEWALT 10-Amp Keyless Variable Speed Corded Reciprocating Saw at Lowes.com
    I also use a 10% coupon and also purchase the insurance for about $7.00
    Then when it dies I just go to the store and they hand me a new one

    Just got 3 on Monday

    Yes those Chrysler minivans are a serious pain, I scrapped 2 of them, to get to the convertor I removed the wiper linkage and the intake and still had a hard time. I thought about going through the floorboard as well. I'll have another one soon and dreading the job. I need a cutting torch with the 90 degree head Would make the job a cinch.

    I bought two packs of these a few weeks ago. one of the 6" and one of the 9"

    First one I went through a little too fast, and burnt up the blade.

    Second blade is holding strong, making sure I don't overheat the blade. If you turn it blue, they're done for. They are a great stiff blade if you are looking to make straight cuts.




    So far, I've chopped up my diesel frame from my truck with it, and cut an A arm off my quad that was bent with it. Let the blade do the work, keep it cool, they last very long and don't brake...
