The teeth on these blades are carbide-tipped so they last longer than long-life blades with coated teeth. They're stiffer than other blades for making straight cuts. Blades have a 1/2" universal shank that fits most reciprocating saws. Tooth size and number per inch are constant throughout the blade. Choose blades with more teeth per inch for a smooth finish; choose blades with fewer teeth per inch for fast, rough cutting.

Blades with a high-speed steel body are stiffer than blades with a carbon steel body, with a greater number of teeth per inch. Use them to cut metal.

Wide enough to cut through multiple layers quickly, these blades are often called demolition blades. With carbide-tipped teeth, they stay sharp at least 50 times longer than bimetal blades with high-speed steel teeth. The teeth are also harder for cutting harder materials. The pointed tip is made for plunge cuts—it lets you start from the center of a material instead of the edge. Use them on a wide range of materials for tasks from removing an old piping system to adding an access panel to a wall. Their ½” universal shank fits most reciprocating saws.

Heat-dissipative blades have teeth made of a specialized carbide blend that dissipates heat as you cut. They stay sharp 100 times longer than bimetal blades with high-speed steel teeth—the longest life in our reciprocating saw blade offering.

Blades with variable-set teeth limit vibration to keep your cuts stable and straight without requiring much effort. Their aluminum-alloy-coated body reduces heat buildup when cutting, so they won’t burn your wood or accidentally harden metal edges. They’ll also stay sharp and won’t get gummed up with metal shards or sawdust.
