Diablo 9" Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade (3 Pack)

I'm very pleased with these blades. They cut branches great and are very durable. It's a great value for the money.

These are very useful for pruning branches and also for cutting roots when digging out old shrubs.

Great blades for both pruning and sawing through bamboo roots.

Used this blade to cut roots for two large bushes before pulling them out with the lawn tractor. The blade cut well and didn't get dull. The bushes popped right out of the ground. I tried a bi-metal demolition blade first. That got dull very fast and was useless.I had the 9" blade, which worked fine. The 12" might have worked even better.

Purchased a "Calia" brand prior and was very disappointed. Purchased this item to try it out. It was more expensive per blade but worth every penney. Found the blades very durable and did a great job cutting. I used these to prune and cut roots out of ground. Cutting in the ground tends to dull blades very quickly but had not great impact on these blades. Highly recommend.

Rugged. Made quick work of branches.

This is a review of 2 Amazon items used together, the Freud DS0903CP3 Diablo 9" Carbide Pruning Reciprocating Blade and the GRAFF SPEEDCUTTER 5 Wood Carving Disc for Angle Grinder - Circular Saw Blade for Cutting, Sculpting & Shaping - 7/8" Arbor - 125mm.I have a few stumps in the yard that I wanted to remove. I shoveled off the top layer of dirt to expose part of the roots. I used a reciprocating saw with a standard DeWalt pruning blade and each blade would become dull after cutting 1 or 2 roots, causing the saw blade to start smoking and would not cut anymore, which is typical when you expose any sharp blade to dirt - but not the Diablo blade . The Diablo kept cutting through roots while laughing at the surrounding dirt like it was not there. I also got a head start on the larger roots by first cutting through as much as possible with the GRAFF SPEEDCUTTER 5 Wood Carving Disc for Angle Grinder. This is a beast on a 4.5/5 inch cordless Hercules angle grinder and does the heavy lifting through 3/4 of the exposed 2 inch roots and I cut the rest with the Diablo blades, along with the smaller roots. I then put rope around the remaining stump and pulled it out with a 4,900 lb winch, again using the Diablo when a remaining root under tension became exposed. Happy days playing in the dirt.

Used this and my sawzall to decimate dozens of thick bushes and trees that were probably larger than I should have been using this on. Absolutely destroyed everything with ease. Still feels super sharp and held on throughout my wild sawing after 4 hours of devastation. Cuts through everything like butter and leaves super smooth cuts. I will finish my entire yard and the remaining dozen trees without even having to switch to one of the other 2 blades it came with.
