Customer Reviews for DIABLO 9 in. 5/7 TPI Demo Demon Carbide Reciprocating Saw Blade for Nail-Embedded Wood Cutting

Purchased the 9 inch version yesterday to cut screws joining deck boards and joists. I was initially very impressed with the product on how well it cut the screws but that impression quickly turned to disappointment as the blade jammed and the tang broke off. I thought being a demo saw blade it would have been a bit more robust in construction

I was using this blade to cut railroad ties. It worked wonderful, smooth cut. I cut 11 ties probably make 30 cuts. Many the last 2 cuts were a little slower but still a clean, straight cuts. I then ran 4-10' rebar to pin it down.

Cut some slots in 4x6 for air conditioner tubing worked great also cut off studs in frame work.

Really disappointed by these blades. Used them to cut up some pallets and withing the first pallet the carbide teeth started breaking off and by the end of the second pallet nearly all of the teeth in the center of the blade were gone. I had just finished cutting up 6 pallets with one standard none carbide tooth blade without losing any teeth and other than losing some speed on my cuts the blade was still doing its job, two pallets in on the carbide blade and its out of service. I think I will stick with the cheaper standard blades from now on.

This blade cut through plaster walls and 2x4 studs with nails in a straight line with no hesitation. Great product!

This is the definitive demolition blade that will cut through wood, wire, nails, metal, screws, pipe, just about anything. Nothing gets in its way. Cuts clean and cool. Stands up well to jab error bends without breaking. Can be mounted right side up or down for pull cuts. This blade will make short work of cutting through whatever you want. Thought the carbide tips could have stayed sharp longer but I did ask a lot of the blade.

I purchased this blade to cut out the window and door openings in a new building I was putting up. The blade was long enough to extend beyond the 2x4's and cutout the OSB sheathing with no problems. It worked well for my application and I expect it will a lot more work before I wear it out.

I am a woodworker who enjoys harvesting my own lumber and milling it on the tablesaw. Lately I have found a few white oak trees that have fallen and are about 6" in diameter. I have been holding out on the reciprocating saw. Been using a bow pruning saw and muscle power. Though it's a great work out, the speed isn't very cost effective. I'm on a low budget and the pruning saw worked for a while. So for my first experience with the recip and this blade I am now a believer. I wouldn't say my time perfecting my milling methods was waisted. I would say the blade and new saw speed up the process. The blade, though not the fastest, cut right through the 6" white oak logs just fine. Left behind a smooth cut in the end grain. Perfect for a surface to seal and let the log dry for a week or two before milling. Mind the logs had fallen before the summer at least and had dried some already this year if not last year too. I did accidentally run in into the dirt a couple times. Still sharp and cut great. With a little in and out action, the saw dust cleared just fine too. Otherwise it does bog slightly if you don't clear the dust frequently. Highly recommend it.

I purposely got this 9 in. x 6/9 TPI Diablo Demo Demon Next Gen Carbide-Tipped Reciprocating Blade for Nail-Embedded Wood, not for cutting wood with nails, but for cutting branches off trees for the purpose of an easier method of pruning. This blade worked well, in fact it cut up to 5" log, with blade to spare. Cutting was a little slower than a chain saw, but with out all the fuss and noise of a chain saw. Great for pruning that occasional broken tree limb. Please take notice of the fine smooth cut. I think this would be great for craft persons making projects from tree branches.

Excellent cutting with this blade... Although I pulled all the nails I could see I just wanted to be sure I could complete the task. It is long wearing & works very well. Has stayed sharp even after cutting 6x8 oak timbers & the blade metal is strong. I dinged on value coz they are pricey however the turn out to be worth it... I used it in a Ryobi One+ Saws All & it did the trick!

I had the opportunity to use and evaluate this blade. Up ‘til now I was wasting my money on a bucket full of cheaper deconstruction blades. In the past, with other products I always had to replace after the 5th or 6th nail or steel 2x4 that I ran into. This Freund Swiss made carbide tipped blade is long enough to reach and strong enough to chew through obstacles with ease when taking out walls and flooring. It lasts also. No more waiting for tool boy to bring me spares. It is thick in spine and does not develop the cheap blade vibration and wobble. Great for more precise cutting. The price paid is well worth not getting the aggravation of cheap blades. Light up the Recip saw, get on it and get the job done.!!!

The blade was used during the bathroom remodeling project for sawing in wooden siding and demolition of partition. It was working well, but after all we mostly used another older demolition blade with finer teethes because cutting with that was little bit easier. Otherwise the blade is good.

Diablo has been my "go to" sawzall blade for a few years now. This demo blade is for nail embedded wood. I decided to pound a few nails into the end of a 2 x 4 and try it out. It didn't even stutter when going though the nails. It doesn't cut quite as fast as a standard wood blade, but a regular blade would be wrecked after a few nails.

I was very pleased on how this blade performed. Cuts with precision.

Product Returned; not rated.

Very bad don’t stay sharp few cut then dull

Use to cut utility poles.

Cuts well, teeth last reasonably long. There are better blades, but this appeared to be a good value, so I bought to try out.
