I need to just say that project farm is the literal best reviewer ever, he takes 0 sponsorships, spends dozens of hours on each video, and provides genuinely unbiased information on every product tested, it's like he got sick of not being able to find actually good information and said "Well if no one else will do it I'll do it myself" and never broke away from that mindset, I watch every single one of your videos and disable adblock and let all of the ads run in their entirety because your channel deserves it, in this world it's almost impossible to find someone who does something like this, I can't even compare this content to anything because it's just so perfect, he goes above and beyond to insure that every possible variable is accounted for, thank you so much for doing what you do!

[@blizzardesigns]

@@ProjectFarmthe problem with your test is that the impact of the drops fractured the teeth, if you had a smaller distance between nails and less incline angle, you would get more accurate results. You can see that the teeth were chipped from impact due to the fracture angle on the teeth.

[@internet_internet]

@@blizzardesigns True, but it still does show a pretty accurate representation of how durable the blades are.

[@blizzardesigns]

@@internet_internet Maybe an accurate representation for someone who slams the blades against every nail as they cut them. This tests the toughness more than the durability, because carbide by nature is brittle, it's not meant to be slammed. If there is a smoother entry, the blades would last much longer and perform more consistently.

Angle grinders weigh a lot more and many times you don’t have enough room for an angle grinder.

Pretty common, actually. DeWalt doesn't try too hard to be a premium brand.

[@1pcfred]

@@bassnazi4713 corrosion is a funny thing. You might clean those bits up and they may not corrode from then on. That'd be because of the production of black iron oxide.

Check out the iron pillar of Delhi. It is protected by black iron oxide.

Yes, people who use a oscillating tool will move the blade back and forth using as much of the blade as possible to extend blade life.

[@billybobjoe198]

Don't tell anyone, but I just buy the 50 packs of blades off Amazon for like $40. I've been using these tools since the MultiMaster came out, and I've found their best use to be cutting drywall. It's easy to get an accurate, quick, clean hole for switch boxes with them. It's the perfect too for cutting out access holes during a job that are square and easy to patch. Everyone else just takes a sawzall or hammer and makes a giant mess. If the drywall guy is lucky they used a drywall saw and at least cut semi straight lines. With a multimaster and a level you can make perfect holes ready to be patched. Their second best use isn't much different, cutting holes in cabinets for outlets, like under a sink or in a microwave cabinet. And cutting off PVC/ABS pipes near the edge, or right up next to a fitting. Mostly when replacing a sinkbase. Cut the pipe off flush with the fitting in the wall then use a fitting reamer to get a nice new hole to start over with. Very rarely I'll use them for other things. The other day I had to cut some stairway trim flush with the subfloor since I removed a wall it used to bear against. And I used one to cut a half inch of a door header to get a new door to fit in the hole without cutting it down. They're wonderful tools, but with over 10 years of using one, I never found a need to cut nails or copper pipes with them.

[@downhilldaddy9346]

Cool test. I think manufacturers should make the blades a tad thicker so they handle more heat stress.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback.

[@samo4648]

But a thicker blade would have to cut through more material

[@1pcfred]

Heat is the last thing you ever have to worry about with tungsten carbide tooling. When steel is a liquid carbide is still solid for thousands of degrees. So the hotter it gets the better carbide cuts. Because only the steel is getting softer.

[@downhilldaddy9346]

No sir, study metallurgy.

[@1pcfred]

@@downhilldaddy9346 studying tungsten carbide alloys is pretty involved. The best answer experts can give is test it and see. They might point you in a particular direction but ultimately only results matter.

You are right. It'll be ready soon. Thanks again!

[@EM-fi2qg]

Right on. I was actually thinking about getting new wipers yesterday, but then I thought, I should wait until it starts raining because the wipers will probably rot in the meantime. I'm in SoCal, so it might be another month before it rains. As a side note, and maybe a prediction, the best wipers I ever owned were the Motorcraft brand. Lasted 4 years, from Texas storms, through Colorado winters. Finally failed when I got back to SoCal.

Fun fact of the day, oscillating saws were developed to remove casts from broken limbs without cutting the person's arm or leg after it's been healed. That's due to the flexibility of our skin which moves along with the small back and forth movement of the blade of the saw.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

I was one of the first to use it. (had it used on me) I broke my arm as a kid. The doc showed me it would cut the cast, but not his hand. I was still very afraid it was going to cut me.

[@Michael-hn5cj]

This is really cool. Your test setup is very creative and impressive. I use my buzzer every day on the job and 99.99% of the blades I use are the $2-$3 ones that come in 100 packs. I will sometimes try out expensive ones but I can never justify their cost. I have found the best way to extend their life is by matching the right blade for the cut you're making, control heat, and make sure to not stay in one spot on the blade.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback.

[@zack6892]

I’ve used every one in this test and went back to the 50-100 packs. I keep some Milwaukee ones for important stuff but I use mine every day as well as none of the expensive ones are worth the increase in cost maybe if I used it once or twice a day. I should mention I only have Milwaukee blades cause they been on sale lately at around 3-4$ a blade buying multi packs.

[@fxm5715]

I wonder if the shock of each drop was a significant contributor to the tooth damage, though. it doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to expect of any cutting tool, other than a chisel. Harder teeth that might otherwise hold up very well to prolonged cutting might get broken from the repeated impacts. I certainly don't slam my reciprocating blades (or any other) into a surface like that.

[@jfolck1886]

I wonder if the tool slamming down into the next nail/screw after the blade heats up is prematurely causing damage to the cutting edge

[@sherannaidoo2712]

I use a Bosch oscillatoting multi tool quite often and tend to push or slam into the work. I guess its normal action to use the tool this way. Its possible that this could cause premature wear on the blade and the tool itself.

[@MrRedAlexander]

This was my first thought, especially with the carbide blades since they're much more fragile

[@sherannaidoo2712]

@@MrRedAlexander part of the problem lies with tool being very light weight. A user tend to be more forceful when using a light tool to compensate for lack of weight.

[@1STGeneral]

When you can't see in demo work it's not uncommon to catch a fastener and while using force go through one not knowing the thickness and the force applied carries into the next fastener

[@ElectricalExistence]

Let the blade do the cutting.

[@BrianWalstad]

Best of your tests so far. This Ezarc will save me a ton of money. If you ever revisit this I would suggest somehow minimizing or cushioning the drop between nails/screws. The drop alone could break teeth especially with the 5 pounds of weight. Maybe in that scenario a different blade will come out on top.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea.

[@SweBeach2023]

​@@ProjectFarm Another suggestion would be to alternative the positions of the nails left-center-right as to give the blade time to cool off at least a few seconds before hitting the next nail and the next.

[@1001ewaste]

I was pretty much looking for this comment, the harder blades materials might be more prone to breaking or chipping due to the impact of the drop. Tricky jig design though to gently engage the blade and then apply pressure like a human would do but without the human 'error' involved.

[@kevinkesler6856]

@@ProjectFarm I think reducing the impact damage could be done by just putting the nails/screws as close together as possible without weakening the track material too much. This will give the tool much less time to pick up speed.

[@GroovesAndLands]

@@ProjectFarm A piece of pink foam board material in front of each nail would absorb the impact, and yet the blade would slice through it quick and easy.

Let the blade do the work. Let it bounce on the material and never apply pressure. Key to longer lasting blades, I've found.

[@mrboojay]

@@AFriedChicken While this is true, it does still show which brands are more durable overall given the same conditions. So if you use them the way they ought to be used, the winner should still last longer than the rest.

[@AFriedChicken]

@@mrboojay I can't argue that, sir. If I may suggest, the best one my boss and I have found are straight from Fein Tools' website. We've tried dozens of brands (Amazon, DeWalt, HW store brands, etc) and they're the strongest, longest lasting ones. A good metal-cutting blade was hard to find until we started buying Fein's. Expensive but used right and they'll last you. Happy cutting, sir!

[@marcushert2759]

If you look at some of the carbide tipped ones you can see they have shiny fracture spots indicating that broke from impact, not wear. To me this indicates that some of the middle brands actually had a harder carbide because they fractured more. I really like this test and people aren’t going to be easy on these blades. Thanks for the review. Maybe do a no impact test with the same amount of nails and compare then!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea.

[@reiserx]

Yeah, When I saw the tests I was thinking carbide doesn't do well with impact it would be much better test to have them all closely touching each other.

[@jalan8171]

The angle of blade teeth could make for a huge difference in durability and performance.

[@PhilVTN8]

My first thought was several of these blades were damaged by the drops. I don't think in normal use a person will be slamming the blade into every nail.

[@robertmason2707]

This is an interesting observation. But realistically, these tools are going thousands of oscillations per minute. The blade moves fast. The impacts from normal use are worse than the landing of the tool as it slides down, unless you're really not applying pressure during normal use.
