Review on MRCGTCE Wood Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blade, 12-Inch 5TPI Big Teeth SK5 Big Teeth Recip Saw Blades For Fast Straight Cutting (10Pcs) by Moe Gilbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for my battle against giant bamboo

My back yard is full of big bamboo, and when I say big, I mean some stalks that are 60-feet tall and up to 5" in diameter. This is heavy-duty bamboo that I have to cut off at ground level, and usually a bit below ground level. It seems that the remaining stumps last for eternity, so it's best to get them sliced off level.With an 18-volt Makita reciprocating saw, these blades slice through the dirt and pebbles and bamboo. Right through the heavily rooted and almost indestructible green foundation.After 50 years of fighting this stuff, I think these pruning blades are the best. I had to give only four stars for longevity, and that's only because they're not really made to cut through and sand.

Pros
  • Cuts easy, even large branches.All you need is a ladder and I use Milwaukee sawzall with 20 foot cord.
Cons
  • The packaging does not provide proper protection for the blades during shipping, resulting in blades arriving damaged or unusable.
