Which CARBIDE Demolition Sawzall Blade is Best? Let's find out!

The Milwaukee Axe, Diablo, and Lenox carbide tooth blades competed against each other to determine their strengths and weaknesses. All of the carbide tooth demolition sawzall blades seemed to do very well compared to the bimetal blades previously tested. In the next and final video on sawzall blades, the "thick steel" carbide blades will compete against each other.

Can you do a similar test with cut off wheels? I think it would be interested to see which would last the longest.

[@A10goBRRRRTT]

Can you do a part two with other brands such as dewalt Bosch or craftsman

[@SHOINOFF]

At menards i beleave they sell a blade called (fire rescue) or something like that. Try that one. Its like $30 for 3 blades.

[@douglasrasmussen480]

Not related to this, but I would like to see a test on the holding power of screws driven vertically versus diagonally. Specifically, I would like to see the difference of two screws driven at opposite diagonals versus two screws driven perpendicularly to the wood. I think there would be a question of pull out versus shear strength particularly with the newer structural screws.

[@dillan.mclenaghan]

the lenox hit a knot in the wood thats why it took longer

[@TheOfficialCzex]

I wish they didn't even bother painting the blades... Maybe they should just stamp their logo onto them? New test idea: normal blades vs paint-stripped blades.

[@gabeford895]

I'm in agreement with that.

[@ProjectFarm]

I agree! Thank you!

[@johnpossum556]

I suspect the freud one might be something like epoxy as it seems to have a very high wear resistance and heat resistance as well. Even used circular saw blades of theirs still have a great color to them.

I love the diablo for cutting cast iron

[@alexwilcox9559]

Milwaukee makes a special cast iron blade with diamond grit, it actually has no teeth at all. perhaps you are aware already but perhaps also the product isn't available around you. i don't know the price of them but i would assume they're not cheap either

[@jamwheeler]

@@alexwilcox9559 ive used those but in my experience they arent very good. The only use i could see is getting a line started before switching to a real cutting blade but maybe i didnt use it right. But ive never been a fan of those

[@alexwilcox9559]

@@lloydparlee5774 honestly i feel like the blades are still a hit and miss, i feel some perform better than others, but then again some of the cast i cut out is obviously in better shape than others. snap cutters are absolutely the way to go but there are always those occasions that you simply cannot fit in the cutters, and a sawzall will have to do. i've worked on single cuts of 3" pipe that has taken me half an hour, but it was the only way to make it work with an MJ. the blade is also obviously toast afterwards too

Hi Mike, Thank you very much! Those are both great blades and I'd buy either one of them for specific applications. Diablo for speed and Lenox for drywall screws and other metal.

Awesome test as always! I have a suggestion though- I think it would be interesting for you to use your Kill A Watt to measure the power draw of the saw with each of the blades.

Thank you. I used acetone. The paint on the Lenox came off easily. The paint on the Milwaukee was a bit more stubborn. The "coating" on the Diablo didn't come off from exposure to acetone, nor does it need to be removed. In my opinion, it's the only coating that actually improves blade performance.

Thank you man. I'm a mechanic and own my own shop so you help me make decisions on a lot of products. In the 2 years since I've discovered your channel you've saved me hundreds of dollars if not a thousand and I really appreciate you. I've returned the favor on patreon. Thanks again.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much!!

[@powellsanders4506]

You could do a test where you put air filter oil inside the crankcase.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

I'd like to see you test some metal hacksaw blades. yea, everyone loves powertools but when your'e out where there is no convenient electricity or the accu on your fancy cordless tool just gave up there is still that old hacksaw in the back of the toolbox....

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@maryarnold7562]

When you're out there with no electricity then you grab the Predator generator and throw it in the back of the gator. lol

[@robertlewis9132]

Just wanted to say good job on your testing and your videos. People like you add huge value to KZbin! Thank you!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you

[@EricFrazer32]

Love the video's and the way you do things. very refreshing compared to the extremely unscientific tests that alot of the other tool channels do. Your weighted setup is great!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@ghostindamachine]

I so enjoy your documentaries! Epic test setups and so very informative! Please, keep them comparison videos coming :)

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@madbull9988]

absolutely love these comparison videos, keep up the great work!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

The channel for dads ran by a guy who looks about as dad as you can get.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you! Yes, I'm a dad.

1:34 "I will not be touching the device during the testing because that would mess up the science" :D

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. Thank you

[@youtube.youtube.01]

You devised an excellent testing method and gave a great analysis on blade design and manufacturing. The discussion about paint causing the friction was brilliant! We might be seeing teflon coated blades appearing on the market in the near future.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you! I hope they do something. They're made to look fancy to boost sales, but when spending $15 on a blade, the paint shouldn't be hindering the blade. Thanks again!

[@tuckera1879]

Can you do a testing video on some hacksaw blades?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@Dr.Grafenberg]

What does the Lenox blade and the honey badger have in common?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@tman3036]

Great work as always! When it comes to the metal cutting blades, I'm curious if running the recip saw at a much slower speed could yield better results on hard metal like the drywall screws or angle iron.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point! Thank you

[@jacktortolani6704]

Try testing which handwarmers work the best

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@SinisterMD]

Another well thought out test of commonly used blades/materials. Thank you so much for continuing to provide such good content. You've done so many things it's getting harder to come up with things for you to test!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

"Eventhough the blades cost more, you'll get more cuts and they'll last" Yeah, but try telling that to the bossman when you're standing at the register in the lumberyard! It's like going to the grocery store with dad when you're a little kid standing there with something you want and he's like, "No. Put that back." 😒 Lol/.

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. Thanks

[@KY4BDP-TinyFangorn]

I don't use blade saws much but the video as still entertaining and usual. Your ability to find neutral and consistent tests for a variety of products always intrigues me. Well done!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@jesseosterhout907]

I love the show! Nitro fuel instead of gasoline in a motor is one of my favorites

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@djcarkhuff]

These are such great, to the point, no BS videos of head-to-head tests. I love it. Keep up the great work!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you

[@chris-zn2ge]

For the Diablo you used the General Purpose Carbide blade. They also have a Nail Embedded Wood Carbide blade. So, which would you choose for this same testing you did here? I’m guessing that they will be very similar. But waiting to hear back from Freud/ Diablo. Thanks

[@9998885]

@Project Farm great video! You're giving us quality and educated information, these are wonderful for the consumer. Keep it up!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@carlmccoy662]

I know you read these, I looked at your videos and didn't see one on which spray lubricant attracts the least/most dirt. Very important in many applications. Lots of cans make the claim. Are they true?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Great video! I had a Milwaukee tool representative approach me during check out at a Home Depot in an attempt to convince me to buy their Axe carbide blade over the Diablo carbide. I referenced your videos and even showed her. Unfortunately at that time, this video wasn’t made. So to make her happy, I bought both brands. Good to see the cheaper Diablo still cuts fast!👍 Keep up the good work!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you! I prefer the Diablo over the Milwaukee. Both are good but Diablo seems better overall.

[@cnvw974]

Lenox blades are worth the price.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great blades for sure! Thank you

Imagine Todd coming down to breakfast: “This toaster says perfect brown in two minutes….we’re gonna test that!” “We’ve got five branded filter coffee makers, lets see which one drips through fastest” “In this test we’ll see which hob frys bacon fastest versus fry pan area.” 😂

[@AlaskaTony]

sorry I missed the first test, you do great unbiased work here and I appreciate it. could you leave a link somewhere in the video or description for previous videos in series like this please and thank you!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much! Great recommendation on the links too.

[@cecilandrews1875]

I do remodel all the time. I buy Diablo. I go through a lot of blades because of hurricane straps and deck screws. After your results I'm going to be buying Lenox. Thanks

[@seanirby8838]

I'm guessing there's an obvious answer, such as corrosion resistance, but why would a sawblade need to be painted? My thinking is that if the breakdown of the paint during heating and abrasion can cause performance loss, maybe the blade should just be bare metal. I am certainly interested in learning more.

[@azrobbins01]

I want to suggest that you keep the face of the Sawzall against the workpiece, and that you support the back of the sawzall against a solid support. In the field, you would put the back of the sawzall against your hip or thigh and press the "Fence" of the sawzall hard against the workpiece. You will get a lot more cutting power if neither are allowed to vibrate or wobble back and forth. Even canceling 1/8" of vibration tolerance will make a huge difference in power, and will affect your results. If you ran the test again, and supported the tool and workpieces solidly against each other so that they could not vibrate as much end-to-end, your times would be reduced drastically. Also, I regularly cut up Stainless steel commercial kitchen equipment with Sawzalls, Angle Grinders and Plasma Torches. A real test of which blade is better would be to test them against low grade, and high grade stainless. There is a huge difference between low grade stainless like cabinet bodies, shelves, and hoods, and between High grade Stainless which is in countertops in commercial kitchens. The countertops are incredibly hard to cut, whereas most other stainless in Commercial kitchens is pretty weak. Same goes for Drill bits. Some drill bits can cut High grade stainless all day, but others get only 1-2 holes before dulling. The DeWalt titanium bits are the best in my opinion, but it would be an easy test if you had some Commercial stainless countertop to test on. You can find it easily at your local scrapyard, and you can easily tell the difference by using a strong magnet. If it is not very magnetit, then it is high grade.

Ive realized everything I've ever bought from Lennox was garbage pretty on par with the craftsman brand which is also total garbage. I never put much thought on sawzall blades I'd figure it was probably just me not being good at it. I've been using Lennox blades cuz that's just what I happened to buy seems like they kinda put themselves in my face first when I should have looked harder for the dewalt which is WAY better. After seeing this video I'm going to get a few different diablo blades. I don't have to use my seawall very often anymore but when I do I need it to cut with ease and with precision.
