Industrial and Scientific just got better with this replacement blade. Through trial and error, I found that the Malco TSHDRB blade cuts through thick material with ease unlike many other blades in its category. Its heavy-duty design can withstand long hours of use without dulling or bending. The only downside is its weight which makes it a bit more challenging to maneuver, but the added strength is definitely worth it. For any job that requires smooth and precise cuts, this blade is a must!
