Review on Amazon Basics 32-Piece Reciprocating Saw Blade Set with Organizer Pouch - Ultimate Cutting Tools for Efficiency by Carlos Cardoso

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for most projects; a bit slow with metal

Surprisingly wide range of blades! They are beautifully packaged and come in a great organizer to keep them all together. My husband has a Hammerhead reciprocating saw and they fit perfectly. They work well on wood - it could easily go through branches - and on drywall (it worked in our garage). However, he says that they are a bit slow with metal. In the video he is cutting a piece of 20 gauge sheet metal. He had to try several woods and settled on a 24 TPI metal blade. However, it didn't catch on as easily or quickly as its other brand. As you can see, it does its job, but it's not as easy as the wooden blades were working on the branches (which were quite thick). In general, he is very happy with them. He doesn't cut metal very often - he uses them a lot more for wood, drywall etc - so most work very well and the metal did the job when it needed to.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Quality
