NOT Japanese tooth in power tool parts and accessories

I was very upset because the product description said 'Japanese tooth' which I think is a mistake. These are short teeth that you might mistake for a metal cutting blade, while I know Japanese teeth are long, aggressive wooden cutting teeth (correct me if I'm wrong). The thing is, 90% of the time when I use my oscillating tool I choose a (real) Japanese tooth blade because I'm cutting pretty thick wood and I don't have the patience for that guy (that guy is sooooo time consuming). difficult to cut through wood). The problem is that Japanese serrated blades are much more expensive (in general) so I use them for too long before throwing them away and I'm already running out of them. I give four. It's not the same as buying the best versions of these tools, but they're significantly cheaper. It's worth noting that they have a hole in the back to easily fit brands that use a screw to hold the blade. They still work with Bosch, but closed blades (which still work with most bolt-on brands but are harder to replace) are more durable, especially if a Bosch-style "chuck" is used (not sure what you call a chuck). oscillating instrument). They're definitely more likely to go bad by bending or snapping off a piece near that hole than closed blades. So it's worth thinking about a compromise depending on the type of instrument.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
