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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of TPI: parts and accessories for power tools

Not bad. Many different TPIs (Teeth Per Inch) but no specific tooth patterns with some tool manufacturers. Personally, I only use a saber saw for demolition or to quickly cut something to length so I can do more detailed work on another machine. Because of this, I really only need blades made of metal, wood (and possibly wood with nails). Interestingly, they only have blades for cutting metal in a short size. This is probably a good thing as you usually just wear down the narrower teeth in a metal cutting blade and then try to use the other teeth without using the "fence" (don't know what they call the blade guide on this saw) . . But from time to time I need longer blades to cut metal to full length. A rolling suitcase is good, although you probably already have one (or 5). But if you have room for it in your tool's plastic case, you'll be happy about it (or some other container). Some of the bigger brands have thicker blades. I like them, but I also tend to overuse them (after they get boring), so sometimes it's good to just have those curves with you so you don't mind tossing them at a reasonable time. The prerequisite is, of course, that the price is comparatively right.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Appearance
