BoschProfessional 2608650613 S1531L Saber Saw Blade Topwood, 45cm x 40cm x 25cm, White

After splitting logs this blade is used in a reciprocating saw to create small / stubby pieces of fire wood to act as kindling. Was previously using a 200mm blade but the longer length was getting in the way so this short blade is just perfect for the task. It is also good value; I used DeWalt before but this seems just as good. I have confidence one blade will last me one winter of use.

My main use for a reciprocating saw is to keep trees and branches trimmed. Ihave tried a few different blades but these seem the best even if a little more expensive.

Perfect for the job

Did the job intended to do used to remove old chipboard off garage roof

Firstly I used these blades with my Milwaukee 18v Sawzall. An absolutely awesome tool!I had a huge Ivy on top of my double garage that could be seen from space (google maps) and was mentioned in casual conversation in the local community and my house was referred to the 'house with the ivy'. I kept on putting it off and my excuse was that the ivy was the best bird house in town, and I am sure it was.But it was getting ridiculous! Standing next to it's 8 foot high bulk was intimidating as it was daunting. So it was me, my Sawzall and a pack of ten of these blades. Four days and only one blade later the ivy is a now a huge pile of mulch (courtesy of my shredder) Seriously though, these blades are very impressive and are very much like the other Bosch professional kit I have.I chose these over other tree pruning blades and the Bosch ones were more expensive, but at less than £2 a blade and considering their performance, I totally recommend them.

Just what I needed for my bosch saw. Would highly recommend.

Spent ages looking for one that WASN'T said to be "for pruning" which would be ok for fresh wet wood but not so good for seasoned logs. This one tears through seasoned dry timber which so far has all been hardwood but no doubt would be fine for softwood too. Haven't tried pruning with them yet but expect it would be useful for that too. I saw the reviews of Freud Diablos but thought they were too expensive. I considered the Ezarc but I try to avoid chinese copies and the reviews said they were blunt. These are made in Switzerland and cost less than £2 each. So far still on the first one and no sign of blunting
