Take out Bush roots in 15 minutes

[@edmondwong5678]

I know this is an old video but thanks for posting it. I had about 25 linear feet of 50+ year old hedges to remove. What a revelation it was to learn that a recip saw would work inside the soil underground with the Diablo carbide blades. I only have a M18 Fuel Hackzall and not the heavy duty Sawzall you recommended, but it still worked. I managed to get all the hedges out this afternoon by myself. I wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly without seeing this video first. Thanks!

I'm in the process of digging holes for a 600 ft fence line. There are several trees along the way and I was just using the standard size blade that came with my reciprocating saw. Thanks to this video, I will be picking up some of those long blades to get the job done. Work smarter, not harder!

[@ManCaverTools]

you are welcome Primitive. im glad you found the info useful :)

[@CurlyQLink]

I have used my Dewalt 20v cordless sawzall to remove several big trees over the years. That coupled with Diable carbide landscape blades makes cutting through roots as easy as butter. Then I hop on my John Deere skidsteer, slide the bucket blade under the root where it has been cut and the root (any size) pops right out. In 2020, I removed seven trees and the roots too in a couple of hours. If I would have used a landscape service, I would have paid $$500 to $700 per tree.

[@robbowden7713]

I have to remove about 25' of lilac roots. They have been there for about 75 years. I was thinking about renting a small excavator ...but right now, that is looking like a 400.00 endeavour. I cant believe I never thought of using my recip saw. I actually even have a few diablo demolition blades.... I cant wait to try this tomorrow. Thanks so much.

[@Nguyent2477]

Very fast and efficient, saving a lot of effort. Thank you sir!👍👍👍

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you Sir

[@hammerheartdan6311]

Did the same at my cottage, with a Fuel Sawzall, HO6.0, and 9 inch diablo pruning blade. It worked amazingly.

[@ManCaverTools]

yes it does and I thank you for viewing :)

[@Ghostacc956]

What kind of blades should I be using? Wood blades or will metal blades work also?

[@daltonmiller8688]

This is why I keep an Skil 9 Amp reciprocating saw (Bosch era) around with some cheap wood blades from harbor freight. $60 well invested. I can't believe it still runs after how much it has been in the dirt cutting out stumps lol.

[@ManCaverTools]

very good and I thank you for viewing Dalton

[@dmacl123]

This is excellent! This is exactly what I need to do in my yard. I am going to wait for a deal, though.

[@footlongburrito]

Take the deal out now, $249, with free 8ah battery

[@dmacl123]

No. I can wait. It was at $143. I don’t need the battery. I will wait for another HACK.

Thanks which blade did you use. Mine went blunt just after one cut. Would not cut anymore.

Used the ryobi brushless recip and it did the same thing.

I did as well, I filmed and uploaded it, it now smokes and smells like its buring when I use it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apzOiYqDjK92i7M

[@matthewlall4277]

Came across this video Tuesday night. Funny thing is I used my Milwaukee Super to remove an 8 foot tall and round evergreen bush and stump literally the day before. Absolutely wrecked three blades. A 9" Diablo, a 9" Lenox, and a 9" Porter Cable blade. But it got the job done proper and fast.

[@ManCaverTools]

it is a beast of a recip saw

[@tracymarchegion5535]

I say the cost of 3 blades is way better then paying a stump grinder

[@adp272]

Could you please what blade did you use? there would be some brand model etc. Thank you

[@slpip4365]

I only use 12" 6 tpi Diablo carbide blade to prevent the blade bended and it can cut in soil. Just cut around the root at 45 degree angle downward in one circle to take the root out.

[@ManCaverTools]

I do thank you so much for viewing :)

[@valercosara7403]

idk about y'all but I use the dewalt cordless hammer drill, circular saw and recip saw but the old 18v system the one with thoose big and heavy batteries and it works very good too. Nice video btw.

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you sir. any recip saw would majorly help out. but this supersawzall makes it so much easier

[@ManCaverTools]

I wish you lock :)

[@kkutube1972]

It is funny, I have the tool but never thought of it. I used an axe, and a chainsaw, and then, pulled with my truck. Sometimes, we just need reminders.

[@ManCaverTools]

im glad you can use it now as a bush chopper

[@brokenpinatasales]

I used a combination of this and my truck. I cut a circle around the base of the bush with the Sawzall, wrapped a tow strap around it, and attached the truck and YOINK. The first attempt at doing it manually was terrible. 30 straight minutes of hacking away with a pick mattock resulted in half the job being done and my hand hurting for days. I had 10 butterfly bushes to remove, so I had to find an easier way.

[@bmarie73]

How long does a blade last using it in root cutting?

[@thefisherman6000_USA]

He should have used the shovel first. That way the saw doesnt hit rocks and it also makes it less stress for the motor cutting through soil. He ended up using the shovel anyway.

[@DesertSandSailor]

Wow that saw is a beast.

[@ManCaverTools]

yes it is

[@Mixwell1983]

Everyone knows the best tools for stump removal are a truck,chain and a can of beer.

[@ManCaverTools]

I Thank you so much for viewing :)

[@jontnoneya3404]

Corded recipsaws are better than anything battery powered. Harbor Freight sells the Bauer 10 amp corded recip saw for $55 but if you catch it on sale you can save anywhere from $10-30 making it a no brainer. AND if it breaks within 90 days of purchase, just take it back and get a new one. For home DIYers that don't do this very often, you can't beat the Bauer. now if you're doing this all the time, yeah maybe it makes sense to upgrade to a more robust tool.

[@ManCaverTools]

of course you will need a long enough extension cord to be at the workspace.

[@Mythologic_Exotics]

Where did you get those extra long blades?

[@ManCaverTools]

I got them from Home Depot. pruning blades

[@larryseibold4287]

All good info. Milwaukee orbital 18V, yes. However, I just want to say to others, you undersold the BLADE. You need a 3TPI Carbide blade. Diablo calls them pruning blades. they are now fairly expensive, but the only way to go. Don't even try with lesser blades. If you dig a bit first (5 min max), then cut the circle (or two, outer then inner), a 9 inch blade will do and is about half the price of the 12".

[@jasonsexton2513]

Sorry but I have a question. Have any of you guys ever had a Ryobi 18v one + battery that will show that it is charged but won't work in a tool? It's a P103 if that helps?

[@ManCaverTools]

the battery is a protective state I think there are some videos on how to try to revive it

[@PSGfan0125]

That’s exactly what I do but i like to dig around it before cutting that way the soil doesn’t Dull the blade so quickly

[@ManCaverTools]

it does the trick :)

[@GettingAids1997]

I just have the regular fuel, wonder if that's good enough with 12mah battery...

[@Harveygeeding]

@@ManCaverTools Great video. Take care.

[@jacksonbaker7914]

Do you have a video of this compared to Hilti? Just wondering about the basis of your statement about this one being better than what Hilti has to offer. Thanks!

[@ManCaverTools]

I say that its better because of the orbital feature. HILTI does not have an orbit feature on its 22v recip saw. that alone will beat any recip saw. the orbit feature on the Milwaukee stenches far as well. The ryobi has a orbital feature as well but it doesn't expand like this Milwaukee does

[@jacksonbaker7914]

Man Caver Tools that is a good point. Hilti had an orbital feature on past models of reciprocating saws, but discontinued the feature due to it being majorly underused. Great video!
