Make the Finest Cut With the Best Reciprocating Saw Blades

If you want the absolute best blades for your reciprocating saw, our word of advice is to try out the DEWALT DW4856 Reciprocating Saw Blades. These bi-metal blades come from the very best, DeWalt.

DeWalt's prowess in the woodworking industry needs no introduction, but we'd like to mention that aside from making some of the best blades, DeWalt's reciprocating saws are also in the top tier, so keep that at bay if you're looking for the full package.

As far as these blades are concerned, you'll receive a kit of six bi-metal blades that vary from 6 to 24 TPI, so you'll be covered to work with wood and metal.

The most authentic thing about these thin-kerf blades is actually the manufacturing process that incorporated patented teeth forms. Chip removal is optimized, and therefore, the cutting process itself. This speeds the cutting and improves the life of your blades.

The metal blades have a tall profile, and they have much higher teeth per inch (TPI), which allows them to make straight and accurate cuts on metallic surfaces. Also, thanks to the bi-metal blade material, these blades last almost twice as long as regular saw blades.

There are no signs of fast wearing or bending, they respond excellent to heat, and most importantly, you get a 1-year warranty with these blades. There's no downside!

Quality mixed with quantity is always a good choice, especially when it comes to blades. So, here's quite a versatile set, the WORKPRO Reciprocating Saw Blade Set.

Like most reciprocating saw blade sets, this one is also divided into two parts: wood and metal group. The wood blades are made from chromium-vanadium steel, which is an alloy of steel known for its application in metallurgy. The resulting steel alloy is more durable and less resistant to heat, oxidation, and abrasion.

You'll also see a variety of high-carbon steel blades, which is quite similar to high-speed steel, but it's considered to be a bit better for softer materials, such as wood in this case.

When it comes to metal blades, you'll receive a variety of bi-metal blades that range from 14 to 24 TPI, so you'll be covered for various types of materials.

The 24 TPI blades are extremely efficient, cutting anything in their path, but they are a bit slow. Luckily, you have a large assortment of blades in this pack to mix and match.

We didn't have the pleasure of using them ourselves, but our research led us to many customer reviews that indicate that this set favors metal blades, meaning that the wood blades are a bit average. Still, this price for such a versatile pack is something you should undoubtedly consider.

If you're a jobsite woodworker that needs a lot of equipment for cutting wood and metal, this set of blades will undoubtedly come in handy. We give you the HORUSDY 34-Piece Metal Reciprocating Saw Blade Set, our most versatile set in this article.

Firstly, let's start by saying that this set covers a collection of 34 blade pieces. You can find anything you're looking for in this set, from high-carbon steel pieces to strong bi-metal blades that eat metal. The wood and metal blades are divided by colors, orange and black, for easier identification, and you can even find pieces that have 5 TPI, all the way to 24.

All of these pieces can be used in various applications, metal cutting, wood, plastic, sheet metal, and even drywall. They come with an organized pouch for easier access, and there are multiple copies of the same type of blade in case you break or bend one.

You'll also find a variety of high-speed steel (HSS) blades, which are similar in build to high-carbon models, but they're much more efficient when it comes to metal cutting.

We really like the design behind these blades because they are very thin and long, which is not something you usually see as such blades are considered weak. Well, not these ones - they are one of the strongest pieces you'll find out there.

However, their general life expectancy is not that high in comparison with DeWalt's, which is the main reason we've planted this kit in the third place. Aside from that, they are still worth purchasing, and we're absolutely recommending them.

Everyone who owns a power tool knows about Bosch, and you've most certainly had a product or two from their arsenal. Well, they also sell quality pruning blades, such as the BOSCH RAP7PK 7-Piece Reciprocating Saw Blade Set.

This isn't a huge set in the sense that it features a lot of straight blades, but the ones you'll get are a work of art. They are mostly 6-TPI pruning blades made of carbon steel, with the exception of two 5/8 variable-pitch reciprocating blades and a bi-metal demolition blade.

Pruning blades tend to have lower TPI's, meaning they're suitable for faster work with softer materials, such as nail-embedded wood, but you'll also benefit 0.035-inch blade if you wish to work with metallic surfaces such as sheet metal.

Also, this kit includes two longer blades and five shorter blades, depending on what type of reciprocating saw you own. Nevertheless, this is still a diverse set that offers plenty of opportunities for cutting.

Now, we were disappointed that the pack didn't include high-speed steel blades for cutting fine metal, which is something you'd expect to find in a jigsaw or hacksaw kit, but the blade thicknesses in this kit should be enough to work with some standard metallic stock.

All in all, this is not the best kit, but we're glad we found it.

Some of the greatest blades for reciprocating saws in the industry are generally known as Milwaukee blades and Freud blades since they can resist bending, cut incredibly well, and maintain a long lifespan. Well, here's one of the two, the Freud DS0903CP3 Blade Set.

The first thing you'll see is that this Freud set of Sawzall blades only includes three pieces, and for some, that is a deal-breaker. However, wait till you hear what they're capable of.

These are wood carbide-tipped blades with a blade length of 11.65 inches, and they weigh 0.28 lbs. They are carbide-tipped to ensure that their lifespan is prolonged as much as possible but also to increase their durability against nail-embedded wood.

The spacing between each tooth is pretty wide and deep, thus improving chip removal and accentuating the teeth geometry that truly resembles turbo-teeth technology. This way, the cuts you'll get when working with your reciprocating saw are aggressive and will cut through every wooden material.

We don't like the fact that you only get three pieces in this package, but on the other hand, this is a specialized set, so it's not for everyone. The bottom line is that these blades can cut anything wooden, including nail-embedded wood.

We have one more set to review before we get to the buyer's guide, so let's not prolong this any further. Here's the Irwin Tools Reciprocating Saw Blade Set.

The primary thing we want to say is that all of the Irwin blades in this pack were made using the process of electron beam welding, which is a fusion process of combining two materials using high-velocity beams. The resulting material is incredibly strong and can withstand a lot of pressure due to its resilient atomic bonds.

The eleven pieces in this pack are thicker blades that closely resemble diamond blades due to their structure, and they're capable of cutting through all types of metal: stainless steel, carbon steel, pipes, and composition materials.

The blades range from 6 to 18 teeth per inch (TPI), which is somewhere in the average for metal cutting, but you'll find the right blade for each application in this set. They're also extremely lightweight, which is not something you'd expect from metal blades.

We tried these ourselves, and they work like a charm. They don't overheat, and they also cut fiber cement, which is really great. We only think that this set could be a bit cheaper since it doesn't contain any thinner blades for wood or a carbide-tipped blade.
