Customer Reviews for DIABLO 12 in. 3 TPI Demo Demon Carbide Reciprocating Saw Blade for Pruning and Clean Wood Cutting

Its clearly stated a pack of 2, but only 1 blade in the box. Too much of a hassle to deal with customer service.

Only received one blade, it clearly says 2-pack online when ordering and even on the order status after placing the order. Will need to deal with the customer support now.

Trimmed three 40-year-old fruit trees with it, over 40 limbs 1” to 3 1/2” cut. Made clean cuts, no tearing. Still seems sharp enough for another season. Used my trusty corded DeWalt Sawzall, 30 years old and going strong! Do plan some extra time with a sharp razor knife or shears to cut the blade out of its anti-theft hanger—that sucker is molded on tight!

For a homeowner like me, a reciprocal saw and these blades work much better than a 14” electric chainsaw to cut down small palm trees.

With a cheap cordless recip saw I got through a live 9.5” pine including making logs out of it. I can’t tell if the blade has appreciably dulled, either! Amazing.

These blades helped me saw down all the bushes on the side of my house! Only took one blade!

I needed a pruning blade to cut some unwanted trees and brush and wanted to just use my Milwaukee hacksaw. The 6in worked perfectly as there was fencing and other things a chain saw might get caught up in. The project went perfect and the blade shows very little ware. Best option I've seen in the blades for pruning and the quality of Diablo is top notch.

This blade saved me some money by cutting the busches stumps myself. I had 15 of them to cut!! This blade is a must have for DIY projects at home.

We had a stubborn tree root in our yard that made it impossible to create a tiled path for rolling our bicycles out of our patio. We went to Home Depot for advice on a saw to cut it. Terry helpfully picked out a Ryobi PBLRS01 saw and this 12" Diablo "Pruner" blade. Got home and popped in the blade and a battery. It cut through that 4" root like butter. I didn't even clear all the dirt out of the way. It didn't care. I cut it into small sections to make it easier to remove. See attached photo.

Although, I didn't use these blades for wood, fiberglass stood no chance against these blades. I'm positive they would devour some wood. highly recommended

Incredible durability, cutting through tree stumps like I was slicing a giant cake.

Do not listen to the people saying that these blades are weak or break. I have a stump I cut out with these blades I jsed one blades for almost the whole. That’s including in the dirt and in the ground. Not one issue. It was sharp for way longer then I expected. I went through 3 milwaukee blades and one diablo. Big difference. If you are on the fence with these blades. I highly recommend them to anyone.

These blades are awesome for cutting small roots, and branches. They hold their edge well, and are quick to get the job done. They were an excellent choice for finish cutting the 12" x 12" hard wood pillars I needed for the bridge I was building.

Both blades in the pack broke at the attachment. Wimpy.

The blade is much worse than other non-carbide pruning blades when cut into roots in soil... as shown in picture. I also broke the 2nd blade as shown in the background...

My wife and I concluded that a small tree in our yard needed to be cut down (it was dead). We also concluded that a cordless reciprocating saw would be the best way to approach the situation. I purchased these Diablo blades to go with saw. Very glad that I made that choice. My wife decided to take on the tree chopping duties herself and before I knew it, the tree was in pieces on the ground. The blade (9 inch version) went through the branches like butter. My wife was very pleased with the tool and the blade. Now she is using the saw with the same blade to attack a very overgrown lilac. It's still cutting great. Since the first blade from the package is still in use, I suspect that this 3 pack will provide us with a lot of pruning power before more blades are needed. I can't speak as to use of these blades in other cutting applications, but for pruning, they are the best I've seen. Highly recommended.

Just cut down an orange tree with this blade. Great saw blade, ripped through the wood very easily

Despite the bad reviews i took a chance to give one,it works

Used this blade with saw all to cut up a large palm tree stump.Worked well and accomplished what I wanted.2 blades removed 10 "cutting horizontally and vertically.

I used this blade for cutting the roots of stumps. My first stump it worked great. It reached far underground and cut fast. Halfway through the second stump the blade broke at the end you insert it into the tool. So it became useless. I didnt bend the blade while using it at all. Maybe i did something wrong. I put a milwaukee 9in wood blade on there and it cut like butter I will probably buy it again if i need it.

I suggest you forget about the other brands and pick up a pack of these if you want to get the job done. They got the teeth to rip through everything and will outlast any other blade you want to compare them with.

These blades are fantastic! I've used them for years for general pruning, but the last thing I did a few days ago was used one of these blades to cut out a stump...it's a work horse! The roots still had dirt around them and this blade kept cutting the cherry wood roots like it was nothing! I was going at it for over a 3/4 hour! Try that with a chainsaw! LOL This blade is very fast cutting as you can see the size of the teeth in the pic below, but it doesn't leave a ragged cut when you're trying to use it for trimming.

Great blade for pruning trees. This is at least the third one I've purchased because they do break at the base where they insert into the saw because that is the weakest point but I still get a lot of use from them. I attach the saw to my pruning pole with large hose clamps to reach high branches.

The diablo carbide pruning blade cuts faster cleaner on thick branches or logs. Highly recommend for diy .

Holy cow, what a super amazing blade, I used it to cut 6*6 and plywood, definitely worth the price. I used it to cut the frame on the fireplace hearth and it made short work of it.

Cut down 2 large bushes to the ground in a few minutes, with my RIGID saw. Excellent! Unlike thinner blades no bending going on there... I needed to get them out of there because of bee and wasp infestation and HOA complaints needing to SAFELY trim the rest of my house bushes.

Great product. Cuts straight and fast.

Just bought this today because the 9” blade I was using wasn’t getting the job done. Changed it out for this 12” blade and was able to finish the job in short order. I needed to thin out a couple of Kentia palms getting too big for the planter. I was able to cut them away from the larger tree and cut through the roots in the soil then just pushed them over.
