Diablo Demo Demon Carbide Tipped Reciprocating Saw Blades for Pruning and Clean Wood - Carbide Tooth Design - 9" Length, 3 TPI, 3-Pack - DS0903CP3

After watching a few videos on YT, these were on my radar as being a high quality and effective blade as we have come to expect from the Diablo moniker.This afternoon, I went through a bunch of brush and some green maple (9-12” diameter) with ease - most assuredly living up to the hype. After using one intermittently for a few hours, it’s still very sharp. Heck, I only used half of a 6 Ah “Forge” battery in the MKE M18 Fuel Sawzall.After seeing how well they work and last, I can attest to this being a good value and can easily recommend the 9” length for pruning.It will be my new go-to blade for cut-your-own XMas trees.

As described cut great

Used this and my sawzall to decimate dozens of thick bushes and trees that were probably larger than I should have been using this on. Absolutely destroyed everything with ease. Still feels super sharp and held on throughout my wild sawing after 4 hours of devastation. Cuts through everything like butter and leaves super smooth cuts. I will finish my entire yard and the remaining dozen trees without even having to switch to one of the other 2 blades it came with.

I'm very pleased with these blades. They cut branches great and are very durable. It's a great value for the money.

More durable but not sharp as other diablo pruning saw that I've used in the past.

This is a review of 2 Amazon items used together, the Freud DS0903CP3 Diablo 9" Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade and the GRAFF SPEEDCUTTER 5 Wood Carving Disc for Angle Grinder - Circular Saw Blade for Cutting, Sculpting & Shaping - 7/8" Arbor - 125mm.I have a few stumps in the yard that I wanted to remove. I shoveled off the top layer of dirt to expose part of the roots. I used a reciprocating saw with a standard DeWalt pruning blade and each blade would become dull after cutting 1 or 2 roots, causing the saw blade to start smoking and would not cut anymore, which is typical when you expose any sharp blade to dirt - but not the Diablo blade . The Diablo kept cutting through roots while laughing at the surrounding dirt like it was not there. I also got a head start on the larger roots by first cutting through as much as possible with the GRAFF SPEEDCUTTER 5 Wood Carving Disc for Angle Grinder. This is a beast on a 4.5/5 inch cordless Hercules angle grinder and does the heavy lifting through 3/4 of the exposed 2 inch roots and I cut the rest with the Diablo blades, along with the smaller roots. I then put rope around the remaining stump and pulled it out with a 4,900 lb winch, again using the Diablo when a remaining root under tension became exposed. Happy days playing in the dirt.

Great blades for both pruning and sawing through bamboo roots.

These are very useful for pruning branches and also for cutting roots when digging out old shrubs.
