Review on DEWALT DW4856 Woodcutting Reciprocating 6 Piece by Mike Hamelin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They work but not the best quality.

This was a great starter set but unfortunately they are too thin and there are better quality blades available. I use a battery powered DeWalt reciprocating saw that works great. However, these DeWalt blades were disappointing. Metal blades deform and bend easily after repeated use or recoil. Of course, heat and wear can easily warp any blade, but that's more common with these. The blades don't cut straight like they do after a bend and if I run my saber saw slowly I can see the blade moving a little side to side rather than straight. I also think the 10 TPI blade in this set should be a bit thicker. The wooden blades in this set were decent and I was happy with them. This set might be good for casual use but not for long-term use. I would go with Milwaukee or Lenox blades as they work very well.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • The list will be long.
