Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 січ 2019
- The Milwaukee Axe, Diablo, and Lenox carbide tooth blades competed against each other to determine their strengths and weaknesses. All of the carbide tooth demolition sawzall blades seemed to do very well compared to the bimetal blades previously tested. In the next and final video on sawzall blades, the "thick steel" carbide blades will compete against each other.

Can you do a similar test with cut off wheels? I think it would be interested to see which would last the longest.
Can you do a part two with other brands such as dewalt Bosch or craftsman
At menards i beleave they sell a blade called (fire rescue) or something like that. Try that one. Its like $30 for 3 blades.
Not related to this, but I would like to see a test on the holding power of screws driven vertically versus diagonally. Specifically, I would like to see the difference of two screws driven at opposite diagonals versus two screws driven perpendicularly to the wood. I think there would be a question of pull out versus shear strength particularly with the newer structural screws.
the lenox hit a knot in the wood thats why it took longer
I wish they didn't even bother painting the blades... Maybe they should just stamp their logo onto them? New test idea: normal blades vs paint-stripped blades.
I'm in agreement with that.
I agree! Thank you!
I suspect the freud one might be something like epoxy as it seems to have a very high wear resistance and heat resistance as well. Even used circular saw blades of theirs still have a great color to them.
*Rust has entered the chat* haha I'm gonna stop you right there
Laser etch 'em.
You know you are doing something right when you have almost half a million subscribers and no shilling of crappy products. Your editing is getting better and your presentations have improved as well, thanks for the videos and keep'em coming.
Thanks for the positive comments!
Great testing Todd! You're saving people a lot of money with your videos. Chainsaw blades next? :-)
Hi Doug, Thank you very much! I really enjoyed your latest video! Also, thanks for the great test idea!
electronicsNmore Or maybe you could do cutting wheels in a similar fashion.
i've also been asking for chainsaw chains, still want to see it! glad to see i'm not the only one interested in that.
@@simojuu He's a very busy guy. A lot of work goes into making these testing videos.....I'm sure in time you'll see a video.
Chainsaw ChainsawChainsaw!!!
You are almost at 500k! Been subbed since less than 100k your content is awesome you tell it as it is thanks projectfarm!
Thank you very much!
Hey buddy, I love to see your enthusiasm! I cant wait to see my fav channel get 500k and then 1m, what can we do? oh wait I know ;-(), it takes some time, but hey, lets show this cat how grate-full we are. nice comment, I have been watching this dude for a long time and his tests and awesome-ness has not changed. keep up the love bro ;-) . . ...... ....... . ..
Been here since 75k. Og squad
ive been subbed since he only had 2000 subs
original 10k here..i remember way back in the day trying to figure out why this channel didn't have more subs.. i think his first seafoam video has well over 6m views now.. but then again our mentally retarded culture would rather watch the ignorance and idiocy of pewdiepie than something like these epic videos with depth and learning.
Edit: its 2:35am and i just realized i combined multiple thoughts in one sentence.. i might remember to fix it tomorrow.. LOL
Can you test these same three blades on galvanized and cast iron pipe? As a plumber I find myself cutting these often when a grinder can't reach the tough spots. i swear by my carbide tipped Diablo but it would be nice to know if ive been wasting my money or not.
Great recommendation! The next video on the "thick steel" carbide blades will include cutting pipe and spring steel. I'll try to get that video out later this week or over the weekend. Thanks again!
I love the diablo for cutting cast iron
Milwaukee makes a special cast iron blade with diamond grit, it actually has no teeth at all. perhaps you are aware already but perhaps also the product isn't available around you. i don't know the price of them but i would assume they're not cheap either
@@alexwilcox9559 ive used those but in my experience they arent very good. The only use i could see is getting a line started before switching to a real cutting blade but maybe i didnt use it right. But ive never been a fan of those
@@lloydparlee5774 honestly i feel like the blades are still a hit and miss, i feel some perform better than others, but then again some of the cast i cut out is obviously in better shape than others. snap cutters are absolutely the way to go but there are always those occasions that you simply cannot fit in the cutters, and a sawzall will have to do. i've worked on single cuts of 3" pipe that has taken me half an hour, but it was the only way to make it work with an MJ. the blade is also obviously toast afterwards too
Also I appreciate how you take productive time out of your day to look through the comments and respond with positive feedback I truly appreciate this channel and you.
Thank you!
Your videos are always a must watch when they come out. I really love how you show your testing methodology and are always open to constructive criticism and retesting things with a different method or purpose. You are the best channel on youtube with all of the tests you do.
Thank you!
I just found out channel recently and I'm very impressed! Really good entertaining videos, and very useful information.
Thank you!
Another great video, I appreciate the time you take editing and keeping to the point! Thanks
Thank you!
wow, nice, someone who actually compliments the editor on his HARD work, only being a audiologists I know how how hard editing can be, this guy rocks! have you ever seen a better channel? no seriously, have you? I haven't, I hope and pray; al-most nite-ly, people like this help save the human race, oh oh, its gott-n serious sorry, as I know as a Jack-Christian; Jesus is coming back one day to re-claim what is already his, the world is so full of - "-" ""tive-ness"", but not here bro! love ya, take care, keep up the awesome comments! I mean compliments, we all need to lift each other up! as we are ALL family.
Thank you for all your videos I watch them every time it comes out and have even used some product based on your test
Thank you!
These are such great, to the point, no BS videos of head-to-head tests. I love it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Another well thought out test of commonly used blades/materials. Thank you so much for continuing to provide such good content. You've done so many things it's getting harder to come up with things for you to test!
Thank you
5:28 i think the proper term is "schmoo"
You are right!
@@ProjectFarm plz test drywall anchors
AvE has arrived!
Not skookum!
I just have to say thats what my only best friend; calls his only son, so nice. take care. do I know You? hmmmmmm?
To be honest I dont actually do none of this things but your previous video was "recommended" for me so I kept watching you just in case and I like all the info you tell us as well 🙂
Thank you very much!
Just wanted to say good job on your testing and your videos. People like you add huge value to UA-cam! Thank you!
Thank you
I do love your video's that you do. These are the tests I wish I had the time and money to do. It's defs informing this consumer on the different brands out there. Thank you for all of this!!
Thank you!
I love your attention to detail and consistency. I've started coming to check your videos before buying any kind of consumables like blades or glue, etc.
Thank you!
I started a list on my phone of all the recommended products and what they are for.
Ive had drywall screws chew up a cheap phillips head on me before. That could be more content, abusing brands of drill bits.
Thank you for the video idea!
Great idea, I was thinking about that awhile ago when I noticed huge amount of wear differences from different sets I've bought. I wonder if the impact rated bits are truly better, too.
YES!!!!! And the same with metal/wood drills. Who makes a better drilling bit.
@@FishFind3000 I've been googling that up lately and there is a brand of bits called Norseman that supposedly the last set you'll ever own (though if you're like therest of us you'll still accidentally snap those thin bits) for about a hundred for a standard 29 pc set. I'd like to see them tested before I buy them, though.
On the other hand, its easier to replace the bit than remove a stripped screw. Generally I want the bit to be just a little softer than the screw.
THank you so much. You are doing an incredible service to the entire community.
Thanks and you are welcome!
These tests and comparisons are really useful. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thank you very much!
Your videos are the best thing about Mondays haha. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I just want to say. You do an excellent job of layman’s testing. You really have a passion for it and it’s enjoyable to watch. I’ve used your findings to make decisions on products a few times. Keep it up and stay independent.
Thank you very much!
Keep up the great work! I really enjoy and appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos!
Thank you
Always impressed with your tests. So interesting and fun to watch. You do a great job.
Thank you!
Would you consider testing dry wall anchors? perhaps the Toggler type, the plastic screw type, Wall Dogs, etc. possible tests could be the force it takes to pull out, how much hanging load they can take. maybe even how deep of a shelf they can hold at a given weight? does that fit into the scope of what you'd consider doing?
This is a terrific idea! I recently built a piece of test equipment that'll be perfect for this!
Great idea!!
Dont ever use the plastic screw ones.
I love the EZ anchors (the plastic screw type).
Great Idea!
This actually helped me purchase the right saw blade for me! Thanks
Thank you!
I so enjoy your documentaries! Epic test setups and so very informative! Please, keep them comparison videos coming :)
Thank you!
absolutely love these comparison videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
You testing and test results are amazing. The video editing and time consumption must be atrocious. But you are able to stay on point and prove your points. I love your videos and the comparison to each test results you show. Thank again for another great video....
Thank you very much!
Thank you for making these awesome videos! Honest, to the point, informative! I think ive watched all at least twice.
Thank you!
Nice work as always. I like how you make a very good effort to take the test variation out of the equation and I appreciate the fact that there is actually a recommendation. Most reviews are simply "they're all ok, pick one that's best for you".
Nice work. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
I want to see a test with different types of drill bits against some metal plate. Also carbide bits vs hardened steel.
Thank you for the video idea!
@@ProjectFarm throw in some cobalt drills too!
@@ProjectFarm its a great idea...
You'll have to build some kind of jig to add weight to the drill or you can just have a weight hanging from the drill press lever
Simply the best Poor mans "power feed" :D
@@simplythebest4341 the most important part about that test would be the edge geometry
Thanks for the video! Helped me learn, and make a informed decision before purchasing. I went Milwaukee because Diablo never has any reciprocating saw blades in a kit on sale. Home Depot has the Milwaukee sets for $15 including 10 different blades plus 5 free demo blades. Waiting for Diablo to step up the kits at the local home centers..
Thank you for the feedback
Love the video's and the way you do things. very refreshing compared to the extremely unscientific tests that alot of the other tool channels do. Your weighted setup is great!
Thank you!
Loved the vid. Always a level playing field and side by side comparison. Clear results.
Thank you
I’m a Milwaukee fan boy but I can’t lie diablo is a beast
I like Milwaukee tools a lot too!
The top of the nail is the hardened part. I'm a carpenter my saw blade can go through the side with ease its when I hit the top of the blade teeth break.
Great point! Thank you
Nice to know, thanks!
I dunno, I went through hardened wood screws no problem with my evolution nail safe blade without issue, threaded section of a drywall screw stopped it dead in its tracks though.Might depend on brand perhas, that or UK ones are hardened more maybe...
AWESOME VIDEO! Thank you for your incredible and ultimately super useful content.
Thank you!
Brother, nice video and test set up. Very impressive how much thought you put into each test design to be as unbiased as possible and quantitative. I’ve been thinking for awhile about becoming a contributor, now I’m going to do it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
There's a ant or baby termite on the apple log 3:33 lol
lol. I think the ant survived!
NO ANTS OR TERMITES WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO!
Bonus style points for the ants on the Brain Fruit (what we call Osage Orange in PA)
I think 13 people took umbrage to the fact there were termites shown without warning :)
Moisture ants caused the damage. I'm a bug guy
Who else has been waiting for this video?!?! :D
Sorry for the delay on this one. Thank you
@@ProjectFarm carpentry is boring lol. Anything w a motor gas powered test I'm all about it.. Great video as always anyway..
I like carpentry and PF!
Me! I recommend this a wail ago.
me dude, me dude, me, OMG do you just love this guys channel? hes so smart and through, no not through, like through it I became...., no like completes his goals and is through, dam, cant spell dude, please help.
Loved this video...I got really excited...thank you so much for your hard work!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great job testing these demolition blades, Diablo and Lenox seemed to do pretty well. Great video as always Project Farm!
Thank you!
Awesome test as always! I have a suggestion though- I think it would be interesting for you to use your Kill A Watt to measure the power draw of the saw with each of the blades. More power draw means that the saw motor is under more load. I don't know how useful that information would be, but in my opinion, it would be interesting to see the difference.
Great recommendation! Thank you
You are amazing, great work on these videos. Still have my hopes hanging on a website with all this data, searchable, so when I want to buy the best glue for PVC or the best blade for metal, or the best rechargeable battery for $$ I can find it :) Thanks from my farm to yours!
Thank you!
This is an excellent idea
That is a fantastic idea! No flashy reviews or sponsorships, just categories of things with the best in class displayed
Great ideas.
Great idea. I'd be satisfied if it was a site that only featured the bar graph results of each topic and maybe an embedded video.
I always love your tests. You do a great job. Thanks
Thank you!
Great review. Out of all of my youtube channel subscriptions, yours is my favorite. I really look forward to your vids. Thanks.
Thank you!
Next test. Which saw blade will cut through the other saw blades
Thank you for the video idea!
The newest!
Another great and interesting Test. Until now buying Sawzall blades for me was like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you are going to get.
Have you thought of doing a Test of Cordless Rotary Tools? I don't think my Dremel is the best especially in battery life.
Thank you for the video idea!
Thank you for doing your videos. I really enjoy your work and hope you keep up the good work! Thank you!
Thank you!
Really enjoy your testing. Keep up the good work. I appreciate the lengths you go to make sure everything is fair.
Thank you!
Sure would appreciate a test to determine which hot glue is best ?
Thank you for the video idea!
Great idea. Different types of hot glue might be useful for different applications, too...some are more "gummy" while others are harder.
that hedge apple / post is like cutting through steel! guess thats why they called it hardwood :) definately diablo in my mind. i don't think we get them over here in Aus though. The steel one couldn't come fast enough i have to cut thru a car in a few days so I hope its up soon PF. ta buddy
Thank you! Yes, those hedge posts are incredibly tough and strong!
@@ProjectFarm I remember bending nails as a kid trying to hammer into hardwood :)
I'll bet the Lenox steel carbide blade will be the winner in car cutting . Unibody cars are fairly easy to cut up with a sawzall, even with just a plain old metal cutting blade. I was amazed at how quick a car could be cut into pieces with just a sawzall.
Marcel LeMay ha ha. Yes, I have done this as well. My buddy had a junk 86 bmw. I don’t think it took a whole hour to have it in small enough pieces to load in the back of a truck.
You can get both Demo Demon and Steel Demon Diablo blades from Total Tools. They arnt cheap however.
And for cutting up cars normal bi metal blades work great. Until you hit one of the Boron steel reinforcements in the A pillars or similar.
Thank you very much. This series gave me a lot of useful information.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Another awesome video by Todd, you got my support on patreon, and you make excellent gear head oriented videos, thanks man, Makes my day after a long day of driving 450 miles in a semi.
Thank you very much for supporting the channel and thanks for the positive comment!
Are you going to test the diamond grit pipe cutting sawzall blades?
I will if there's enough interest. Thanks again!
Another great test.
Will you be revealing how you got the paint off the one blade in prior video?
Would be interesting to see a new test with all blades stripped.
Thank you. I used acetone. The paint on the Lenox came off easily. The paint on the Milwaukee was a bit more stubborn. The "coating" on the Diablo didn't come off from exposure to acetone, nor does it need to be removed. In my opinion, it's the only coating that actually improves blade performance.
Extremely informative for different uses. Will definitely keep this in mind.
Thank you
I so enjoy your comparison testings you truly are presenting what we're all thinking about as we stand in our local purveyor of supplies thank you so much for doing what you doing keep it up love your videos just hit the Bell cuz I can't get enough Keep On Keepin On
Thank you!
PF,
I’m really liking that Diablo blade especially the fact that it says made in USA on it ! Lennox is good to. Really looking forward to the carbide videos. How is Montana ? That’s orange wood you cut is like our oak but stands up Like our cedar I think. Correct me if I’m wrong. Another great video excellent editing Much great time and thought put into each video my favorite channel
General repair
Hi Mike, Thank you very much! Those are both great blades and I'd buy either one of them for specific applications. Diablo for speed and Lenox for drywall screws and other metal. It's hard to find a strait branch on an osage orange tree. They are also full of sharp thorns. I've been trimming back dozens of them over the past month. I've spent a lot of time sharpening chainsaw chains too. lol. Best regards, Todd
That osage orange is much tougher than oak, google it up. It burns so hot its even been known to burn holes right through a cast iron wood stove!
I just remembered we have one like it called Ironwood though hornbeam is its botanical name. Insanely tough stuff it is!
The Diablo blades are made in Switzerland
FireBarrels Did you not watch the video ? watch it again The red Diablo blade says made in USA right on the back of it upside down pay attention. They are not made in Switzerland.
Future video: Testing drill bits. Titanium coated, vs Cobalt vs Molybdenum vs HSS.
Thank you for the video idea!
@Project Farm great video! You're giving us quality and educated information, these are wonderful for the consumer. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Excellent video, great information provided when shopping for blades.
Thank you!
As uncommon as it sounds, I'd love to see how some of these blades would hold up if they had their paint stripped.
Thank you for the video idea!

Thank you for the video idea!
This is some quality content right here. Thank you Project Farm

Another excellent and informative non biased video from one of my favorite youtube channels! The idea of cutting through pipe and spring steel will be an interesting test! Looking forward to that video.

You are welcome!
Your videos are the best part of my week! Thanks for all that you do!
Thank you!
You devised an excellent testing method and gave a great analysis on blade design and manufacturing. The discussion about paint causing the friction was brilliant! We might be seeing teflon coated blades appearing on the market in the near future.
Thank you! I hope they do something. They're made to look fancy to boost sales, but when spending $15 on a blade, the paint shouldn't be hindering the blade. Thanks again!
I love your channel, very fair testing keep up the good work!
Thank you!
awesome 👍 video as always..very thorough and thought out really enjoy watching them and learning from your test on what to buy.. thanks and God bless

great test! really enjoyed this one thanks
Thank you!
This test was great. Spring is coming and I have some thick hedges to prune and this is just what I needed to know. I knew you’d have something on reciprocating saw blades. You’re a valuable resource for information. Please keep going. When I cut wood I keep a can of spray lube, like silicone etc., and periodically spray the blade. It seems to help quite a bit.
Thank you
As always very well made video. Thumbs up!
