Freud DS0903CP3 Diablo 9" Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade (3 Pack)

I used to cut back some conifer stumps(wet wood) and these blades (only used one) made the job easier. Yes I would (wood) buy them again if needed.

I really like the Diablo demo demon tipped reciprocating sawblade for removing brush. It was way easier to saw the roots than it was to chop them with a mall or in ax. The blade is pretty much wrecked by the end of the job, but it does the job and makes it much easier.

He probado estas hojas Freud Diablo DS0903CP3 de 9 pulgadas en mi sierra compacta Bosch GSA18V-083 y el resultado es increíble; la sensación es literalmente como cortar mantequilla. Sus 3 dientes grandes (3 TPI, dientes por pulgada) ayudan a que el serrín húmedo salga rápido y la sierra no se atore al cortar ramas verdes. Un dato importante para otros usuarios: utilicé una batería Bosch de 2.0 Ah y fue suficiente para cortar dos ramas bastante gruesas de un árbol mediano. Sin embargo, si planeas una jornada intensa de poda para sacarles todo el provecho a estas hojas de carburo, recomiendo usar una batería de mayor capacidad (4.0 Ah o superior). Sin duda, la calidad del material (carburo) se nota desde el primer segundo. Estoy seguro de que esta inversión me durará años.

I needed a tough blade to cut tree roots to remove two old stumps from my backyard - treed were 23" diameter so the roots were deep in the ground Blades didn't bend and stayed sharp - this is a tough test because part of the time the blade is cutting dirt which dulls regular blades quickly great purchase for my needs

Bought this 3-piece deal at a more economical price than a single blade I bought a few months ago. I have used this blade to prune a quite number of tree branches (largest about 120mm diameter). Very sharp, effective and durable blade. Highly recommended.

I bought these on the recommendation of friends who depend upon these Diablo blades every day. When working carpenters tell you what holds up, you listen. I have used Diablo before on their say-so, and that is why I came back to them for a tree I needed to take down this spring. The cut told the story. Going through a seasoned hardwood trunk about ten inches across, the blade was fast and clean and left a smooth face. That is a 3 TPI blade built for aggressive demo work cutting like something with far finer teeth. The reason it holds an edge is the carbide. Standard bi-metal teeth dull fast and chip the first time they meet a hidden nail or screw. Carbide teeth shrug off that metal contact, which is why these last through demo and teardown work. That is the whole point of the Demo Demon line, and it is why the trade professionals reach for it. The one thing to weigh before buying is application fit. For occasional clean wood cuts with no embedded metal contact, a standard blade handles the work without the upgrade. These are built for people who put blades through actual abuse - demo, mixed material, buried fasteners, hardwood under load. That is the use they are engineered for, and when used that way, they perform exactly as the people who run them professionally said they would. For that kind of work, they have earned their place in my kit, same as they earned a spot in my friends'.
