🔍 Enhanced SEO: PORTER-CABLE Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blades, 9-Inch, 3-Pack (PC760R) Review

I have purchased at least 4 different brands of this type of secateurs over the years with varying results. I have a Makita cordless reciprocating saw. Thought I'd try them to see if they're any better than generics. Two blades broke off at the base within 5 minutes of use. I sent them back without trying the last one. Out of over 20 other blades I've used, this has only happened to me once when I got stuck and twisted or when the blade was getting old. They broke with normal use! I think they…

I have used all the other brands of saber saw loppers and there is no real difference in durability and it shouldn't be like they all use the same Steel grade for blades. The ONLY way to increase life is to switch to a demolition blade with tungsten carbide teeth and settle for a shorter battery life with a much wider kerf. cannot get the saber saw to butt against the branch - this is best avoided as much as possible. Anything over 4 inches in diameter I still use a chainsaw - having the right…

This is one of the best things for trimming or limb trimming. I use these roughly 9 inch long blades to chop down medium sized trees. I even use them to cut stumps out of the ground. When cutting stumps out of the ground, dirt wears down the blade more than usual. But I still use a set of 5 blades I bought about 7 years ago to cut trees but they are already worn out and old so I ordered a new set. With a cordless Sawzall and a ladder, I feel a lot more confident using them instead of a chainsaw

We live on a large property with dense forest. It's beautiful, but there are too many trees. In fact, some trees are so close together that they actually grew together. We live in the south east so most of the trees are covered in moss which makes the branches hang very low very quickly. We have "inherited" this problem, although we are in the process of removing diseased trees. My husband spends a lot of time trimming limbs. He has tried countless brands of pruning shears. Those were the best.

Turns your saw into a branch MONSTER. Trees and random zombies. Again, if you're letting the zombies get that close, sawing isn't the best thing to do. This is best used on shrubs. Seriously, it will cut through 2-3 inch shrubs very quickly. One tip: cut branches with the edge of the saw against the branch or it will vibrate and you won't cut much, but you know that, it's a basic cutting skill. This REALLY means it's easier to cut shorter pieces when the tree is still standing than when the…

Each year I use several packs of pruning shears to clear the trees and bushes in my yard. I can't use a chainsaw because I'm working around barbed wire, steel fence posts, etc, so saber saws work. I used to buy cheap delimbing knives from "China" Freight (only for cutting wood, so if it's low-grade steel it's ok) and I've tried a few, but within a year or two it's gone the price doubled and it's not that good anymore good deal. Tried other more expensive blades. These porter cord blades are…

I spent a lot of money on other big brand blades a few years ago and none of them rooted. They were acceptable for overhead trimming, but I have better tools for that. As I was about to use the last blade, I noticed that none of the teeth were misaligned. I stopped using a saber saw and switched to a chainsaw (destroyed 2 more blades) and I was planning to give up the pneumomill and rent it for 3 days after I stumbled upon an underground brick (the previous owners have a lot of surprises leave…

This was my first attempt at using a saber saw. I bought some Diablo blades to cut through steel and thought I'd buy some to deal with the bamboo stool that's growing too close to the street lamp outside my house. I walked through quite a bit of bamboo with one of them at 15A Milwaukee. Bamboo shoots are 3-5 inches in diameter and grow very close together. Once I can position the blade properly so that it doesn't touch another bamboo while slicing, it slices through like butter, but if the…
