Which Demolition Sawzall (Reciprocating Saw) Blade is The Best? Diablo/Milwaukee/Lenox/Bosch

The Contractor's Compass youtube channel is testing demolition reciprocating saw blade. Watch to find out which blade preforms the best.

Top notch testing and analysis. Subscribed!

Thanks for doing the comparison! Was looking at old Project Farm videos and found this mixed in with his. I always reach for the Milwaukee blades so this video kinda confirmed what I was pretty sure about already.

I want to see the 50x carbide claim tested. Also, can you test cheap bar clamps?

Could the slower blades be from the sawdust not clearing out of the cut? The wood after the cut looks like a lot of sawdust is stuck to the off cut. Since you are doing a 3.5 inch cut I wonder how the times would change if you turn the wood 90 degrees and cut on the 1.5 inch side.

Nice comparison:) I think that reason for blades being faster with nails is purely because first run scraped that paint coat off thus showing that fresh and shap metal tooth for second run. Some blades might be painted with quite heavy coat of paint so it will definetly slow down first run:)

I used diablo ct blades to cut tile on steel mesh embedded mortar. They cut it like butter, it was amazing. Very low wear on the blades.

They cut that better with a little more force. The lower tpi blades cut faster and easier. Some of the ct blades I looked at had variable number of tpi (teeth per inch.) A good comparison has to take that into account, and also see if at a given force on the saw are fewr teeth faster? Is the cut quality still acceptable — does that matter for demo work?

I’d like to see a comparison of blades cutting hardened nails or screws, like how many until they fail to cut! And really, don’t have to show the cut full length, that should be maybe the start then edit—cut to the finish of each.

Other testing channels have always shown multiple cuts by the same blade ( usually three) in the same media and that’s where you see the carbide blades sow their worth the metal blades show drop off on each successive cut while the carbide blades stay the same or sometimes get slightly quicker. For someone trying to do a days work you cannot be changing blades every 2-3 cuts so that’s where a carbide blade shines through

you should re try with Diablo's nail embedded carbide blade and not the GP blade. I would be interested to see how that performs apples to apples

I just got a diablo carbide blade. Cut off a hitchsafe with ease.

Failing to show the wear on the blade up close didn't help. I'd rather have a slower but longer lasting blade than the quickest cutting but fastest wearing blade. When your talking under 20 seconds... it's all about the longevity of wear. Noone should buy a blade that cuts fast but doesn't pay for itself over time. Unless they are cooked into thinking faster is better. It's all relative. Making my money count as long as possible... that's what I care about.

None will run rt from the back of saw zaw

No need to cut such large pieces of 2x4! Waste of wood😢 Good video though....

Why people always say sawzall??? What's up with that?! Sawzall is Milwaukee's!!! And I don't use Milwaukee and never liked it! I'm using DeWalt, Makita, Bosch and FLEX. in my Jobsite people are like, hey can I borrow your sawzall?! This ain't a Sawzall dummy!! This is Makita XGT40V reciprocating saw damn it!!!! It's like asking for a mouth wash, hey can I have some Listerine!!! But I'm using a different brand! It's like asking for a laundry detergent, hey can I have some tide ultra??? Dude!! I ain't using Tide! I'm just only using a cheap Walmart stuffs bro!!!!
