I started using the Diablo carbide tipped blades a short time ago and I have to admit that in my opinion, they are the best blades available. They cost more but the damn things just keep going.
Just tried a 9 inch blade today on 4 inch cast-iron in the basement floor cut about 7 foot out two cuts worked perfectly took about four minutes to cut thanks awesome product!
holy sh%t thats a wicked blade! it went through that pipe like a knife through butter, impressive performance and in a cordless recip saw too...unreal...great video guys, very professional interview Dan!
Ok I am impressed with that. I myself have struggled cutting through pipe and see plumbers struggling daily. Kudos Diablo! I will be suggesting these in the field.
Bought a 9" version and just cut through 2" galvanized pipe and a 4" cast iron pipe using a cheap Ryobi handheld saw. It took me about 2 1/2 minutes to cut the cast and it looked like the blade had hardly been used. Galvanized in less than a minute. Highly recommend this blade!
I got a 12 inch circular diablo blade for my gas saw and it eats through cast iron like a beast! It cant make it through 4 inch in one pass but I just finish it off with the diablo carbide shown here and works amazing! Great company!
This is amazing. I just used the 9in blade on a 4" cast iron repair. Cut it like butter. It's faster than the alternative diamond grit blades I've used in the past. I was disappointed my supply store did not stock the 12" blades.
Decided to give these a go when I had to cut two late 80s Monte Carlos into thirds about last year. Also picked up a few more of the good ol' dependable Wilfukyee blades. Those did fine through body panels and smaller steel but for the frame crapped out pretty quick. Used up 2.5 of these carbide 12" blades cutting through the frames in multiple spots. Was glad I'd opened up my wallet a bit wider for them.
Looks like a great blade for a in house position cut for when you can't use a chain soil pipe snapper. For non-position cutting chop saws are faster. They have a new saw called Exact cutter that works well for all types of material and goes through it like butter...Ken
I can tell you from first hand experience, these blades are awesome!! I cut some 1/2 inch plate today...made 8 plates 10x10...when finished I had plenty of tooth height. I used the 6 inch blade...
cutting cast iron is no easy task! I had some cast iron plumbing in my old house, and it was just as the dude said, it was like a grave yard of toasted blades to get through a 3 inch stack. And like 10 or 15 minutes too! Great vid, thanks for bringing it to us!
Thanks a lot Milwaukee and diablo those tools and blade saving me a lot hard work cutting old cast iron in small spaces crawlspace , ceiling and underground
Great blade!!! I am always under the house, cutting off the 3" hubs of old cast iron pipes to hook up the new ABS to the old cast iron drain line! Thanks for the info!
Man Diablo is great, I just bought my first Diablo blade for my table and WOW, what a difference. I'm gonna have to get some for my reciprocating saw next.
Now keep in mind an orbital setting is designed to be used in a wood or plastic cutting application because it causes the blade to oscillate up and down slightly. In my experiences it will destroy most blades on metal cutting where without it most do decent.
+Dirk Diggler I believe you mean the oscillating tool market, and I completely agree! Especially metal cutting blades for those tools, as the current selection is terrible.
100 small Tungsten Carbide cutters on a small saw.. Pretty amazing technology. Carbide rules second only to diamond and it's a better matched race against nail embedded wood and or tough metals like stainless. Have purchased 3 so far and they are bad ass.
I knew this was a quality blade when I saw "SWISS MADE" printed on the blade. It did not disappoint. Went through three sections of 4" cast iron pipe in my basement in about one minute per cut, using my corded Milwaukee saw. No more Chinese garbage blades for me. This blade is worth a few extra dollars.
lenox products are trash. Only reason I use them is because the company supplied their blades. One of their torpedo levels fell out of my pocket onto concrete and snapped in half....
I have a water tanker and want to cur a 4 inch hole in the middle of the bottom of the tank. The metal is 3/ 16", it appears I can use your blade. Am I OK? I will start the cut with a plasma torch. I need a clean cut..
I'm a plumber and think they make great blades. The sawzall blade looks badass. I have been making may cast cuts with my fuel grinder but a lot of time sawzall is needed and Lenox sucks.
Cut a Sprinter van in quaters with 1 Diablo blade. No title , scrapyard said it had to be in pieces. Cut through the windshield, sway bar, bumper ,floor . Took 2 Milwaukee 18volt batteries fully charged.
Im sure those blades are good, but I've used bimetal blades from Lennox with great results. I cut through a very large structural H beam, and various other A36 bars and pieces including 1" round cold rolled bar. The blade is still cutting and doesn't feel dull. All with a corded sawzall.
Yeah...I've cut all that with a bi-metal blade...but trying to cut a (80 year old) 2" cast iron drain pipe at my house destroyed the blade in about 10 seconds....had to use an abrasive disc ....
Carbide is the wave of the future and Diablo brought it. Imagine brazing up to whatever.. like 100 small Tungsten Carbide cutters on a small saw.. Pretty amazing technology. Carbide rules second only to diamond and it's a better matched race against nail embedded wood and or tough metals like stainless.
Carbide isn't second to Diamond, if you want to get technical CBN is. But I get your point, I use carbide on my lathe to turn hardened high speed steel. Works great.
Andre Gross Well if ya want to get REAL technical micro diamond (or Cubic Diamond) is really got a leg up.. I was just glad to see improvement. Bi Metal sucks compared to Carbide.
The more I use diablo blades across all spectrums the more I realize they are in a league of their own. May cost "more" but once you break down the cost you actually make out cheaper by spending a little more up front...and you get through your work not only quicker but safer.
Can't beat the combination of a Milwaukee Fuel Sawzall and a Diablo blade. I'm curious to see what will happen how that Makia is relasing an 18 and 32 volt brushless recip saw now I hope my Milwaukee is still king of the recip saws. You should have Diablo add some blades to the UTB everyone needs consumables and they do add up!!
SLOW SPEED!!!! As a plumber I can attest that a high speed generates excess heat which alters the hardness of the blade and therefore causes premature wearing of the teeth. Ive seen guys "letting it rip" burn through multiple blades on one 4" cut. Yes it is very difficult to make a cut on cast using a slow speed because the foot doesn't wat to stay planted, the saw wants to jump and vibrate you to death. However, in my experience when a Lennox blade is operated at the minimum spm it will cut through cast like a hot knife through butter. Snap cutters are obviously ideal, but in most residential remodels (demo that is)there's no way to get them around the pipe. I've seen someone use the Diablo on cast at the slow speed I describe and it does cut faster than the Lennox, not night and day, but faster. This demonstration does seem a little shady, most obvious is not using the same saw at the same speed, less obvious is weather or not the same pressure is being applied.
24 pack of blades, a 12 pack of batteries, and a 6 pack of saws ha ha. A fire hydrant is thick stuff. Get the brushless sawzall, the hackzall isnt up to the task.
This tool and those crazy amazing blades deleted the miter saw off of my " To Buy " list. OMG, this is way easier and safer and you're getting way too much convenience out of this tool.
Not many people know that the diablo blades are rated for 1800max rpm and the circular saw are running much much faster than that. The Diablo blades won’t last long. They will work ,but not very long.. just keep that in mind.. will work better if you have saw that can run lower RPM.
Have to say it because I used it and it is true. a 9 in diablo carbide cut 47 cuts of 3 in used well pipe before loosing teeth verse 2 for a Milwaukee double duty torch and the torch was wasted the diablo was still very useable as having only lost a few teeth the diablo is 3 times the cost but last many times longer. I did have one instance of the anchor hole braking off one diablo blade on first use but home depot replaced it no questions (nice because cutting tools have no warranty)
As a plumber I cant see these blades being widely used. It took way too long to make a cut. I could have cut it faster with a set of chain cutters, and a carbon blade with a chop saw (miter saw), would be more accurate. It can be difficult get a straight cut with a sawzall.
I'm a pipe welder and there's times where we have to cut a 45 or a 90 off and this would be nice. bandsaw hanging off a ladder between pipes is a pain and the dick and fuck a touch. I think It could be useful but would like to try em out
yeah, porta band for 4" stuff...and I'd bet a torch would cut waaaaay faster than this recipro saw.....especially when you get into 1/2-3/4" wall pipe stuff... I've cut a LOT of 3/8" wall, 16" pipe for woodstoves I used to weld up....cut lots of heavy 1/2-1" Plate too....not going to do much of that with recip-saw....

Glad to see you guys revisit these blades. Since you put me onto these I've been using them whenever I use the recips.
+Patriot36 How do you like them?
This is amazing. I just used the 9in blade on a 4" cast iron repair. Cut it like butter. It's faster than the alternative diamond grit blades I've used in the past. I was disappointed my supply store did not stock the 12" blades.

man that a lot of cutting
If you have access and metal is not cowered with something else grinder is always superior. This new blade work for me where I need it.
That's freaking insane. Very impressed with that blade and the reciprocating saw!

Love their circ saw blades on my Fuel saw, these new blades look very impressive for the reciprocating saw.
I can tell you from first hand experience, these blades are awesome!! I cut some 1/2 inch plate today...made 8 plates 10x10...when finished I had plenty of tooth height. I used the 6 inch blade...
Quite an impressive display of cutting right there.
I used an m12 sawzall with a diamond blade and it took ages. I'm going to try these blades now thanks guys.
Cutting starts at 6:50

Diablo has really impressed me with the stuff they come out with each and every year. Great video Tia!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
I couldn't believe this blade the first time I used it. Even after using it, it's still amazing to me
Man Diablo is great, I just bought my first Diablo blade for my table and WOW, what a difference. I'm gonna have to get some for my reciprocating saw next.
A Special thanks to Frank and Eddy.
For holding that Pipe like that.
Good job, thanks for the Tip.
Holy crap! Very very impressive. Diablo rocks! There stuff is expensive, but you are really getting what you pay for. Hands down.
Great video guys!
+Matthew Wiswell ty
Amazing blade!!!, thanks guys!!! I enjoy watching your videos.
Great reciprocating saw blade, its all I'm going to use.
Now keep in mind an orbital setting is designed to be used in a wood or plastic cutting application because it causes the blade to oscillate up and down slightly. In my experiences it will destroy most blades on metal cutting where without it most do decent.
I love the Diablo blades. Now they need to start going into the reciprocating tool market and start making blades for those applications.
This is a reciprocating saw blade being demonstrated. Do you mean multi-tool blades?
+BrenticusMaximus1 Yes. When I think of a multitool I think of a leatherman. Lol
+Dirk Diggler I believe you mean the oscillating tool market, and I completely agree! Especially metal cutting blades for those tools, as the current selection is terrible.
+James Cusano That's it. Lol. It was early in the morning when I watched. Brain was not fully functioning! Lol

I love Diablo blades, these things are great, I've used th e carbide wood and they don't die.

These are awesome blades well worth the money
Impressive for the star of the show the blades and also the fuel, plumbers will love it soon as they see it better then a grinder I'm sure
In my humble opinion, Diablo makes the best blades, hands down.
+Matthew Fant HECK YEA
you've obviously never used lenox or work for diablo
lenox products are trash. Only reason I use them is because the company supplied their blades. One of their torpedo levels fell out of my pocket onto concrete and snapped in half....
lol,oops
So, which guy are you in this video?
F***** Awesome! Very impressive! I use Diablo blades in my table saw, and get consistent clean cuts.
Which is better for 2" galvanized, the 8 or 20 teeth per inch? Don't know what schedule it is, thanks.
What type of saw is best for wood
Man that's amazing!! I wonder if I could do that with my Dewalt 20?? Thanks guys as always great stuff!!!! T.I.A#1!!!!
I have a water tanker and want to cur a 4 inch hole in the middle of the bottom of the tank. The metal is 3/ 16", it appears I can use your blade. Am I OK? I will start the cut with a plasma torch. I need a clean cut..
I think it would do it!
Probably be better off with a hole saw...Much cleaner cut especially for 4".
That was a night n day difference between the two blades. Diablos always makes some quality stuff
Thank you for the sharing good video and information its very helpful and understanding.. as we are looking for this information since long time.

Mild steel is less abrasive then cast iron. Same as aluminum

Pipe thickness? Is it okay for 1 inch thick?
The more I use diablo blades across all spectrums the more I realize they are in a league of their own. May cost "more" but once you break down the cost you actually make out cheaper by spending a little more up front...and you get through your work not only quicker but safer.
My sentiments exactly, there is no competition for Diablo 👹👺
you've obviously never used lenox or work for diablo, im leaning towards your employer is diablo aka diaBLOWS. Lol see what I did there?
when are they going to produce something similar, but for the oscillating multitools?
+oaguilarm I know right!
Talking to the top dog a Diablo. Nice guys. Diablo blades for me from here on out.
He cut that pipe like it was butter with that blade!
I use Diablo on almost all of my saws. Quality blades that you can buy locally.... I like when he would touch Dan on the arm. It made me laugh.
Why does he keep touching the guy on the left haha??😬
Additionally, it is also another form of relation between two parties during a conversation. It allows 'connection.'
That was a very sensual touch there at 2:56
He's letting him know that he's his b****
@@TheAsianVillain He is probably rubbing off the oil from the blade
psychology, trying to bond.

Please how much where can i get it in Ghana please
Can it cut 7" and upto 25mm thick seamless red hot pipe at 700 deg Celsius
only on tuesdays
@@Toolsinaction Pl reply
But, how does it work on deadbolts and door chains?
Just drill through the door, then cut a semi circle around the deadbolt, and walk straight in.

i learned that last year....
Who's the band playing this music?
After the first cut all blades dull bad, I've used several brands when cutting old cast iron drains and they never really last
I purchased one today to cut 4 inch cast iron sewer pipe it did not work as showed . It took a lot longer and was not that efficient.
That. was. Awesome! Picking one of these up and I'm going after my sewer pipe with my M12 Hackzall tonight!
But can it cut through a fire hydrant?
+Will Rowland I bet it would

Wheres the snap cutters
Wow, need me some Diablo!
where do get them ,who sells them...
home depot carries those blades
Donde lo puedo comprar en lima perú.

The Milwaukee booth there was like a small party
Sold!!!
Good video.
looks like he put more pressure on that blade than the other one that didn't cut. I didn't see smoke on the other.
The blade should be have both of the ends insertable to the tool so both ends of the blade can be used
Great Idea!
It looks like they filed the teeth down on the lenox blade before they started. look at the blade when they up closed it. there no teeth.
THATS CRAZY!
Nothing can replace a bad ass with snap cutters😘
only works as shown on certain cast iron pipe.
i swear by those used them 2 years ago and burned up 10 of them but cut up a 2000 lb cast iron water heater only way to get it out of a basement
And the winner by a knockout is, Diablo
wow, game changer!
how effectively can this cut through human bone?
Well,, why not use a soil pipe cutter
Wow my mind is blown

I still rather use a Porta band or torch. shot out to all the pipefitters.
yeah, porta band for 4" stuff...and I'd bet a torch would cut waaaaay faster than this recipro saw.....especially when you get into 1/2-3/4" wall pipe stuff...
I've cut a LOT of 3/8" wall, 16" pipe for woodstoves I used to weld up....cut lots of heavy 1/2-1" Plate too....not going to do much of that with recip-saw....
You use a porta band on cast iron?
BlackBird , no I use a hog. snap cut.
bob ski hows cast iron cut w the torch
Have fun cutting cast with a torch.
beast!
next time use a wrap around and soap stone to show a straight line around the pipe.
Took 97 seconds to cut that pipe!!!! False advertisement!!! JK seems like a sweet blade
Uhhhmmm... there is a German distributor?
2 words, bad ass!!
FLippin SWEET
Major difference between blades
why not just use snap cutters its a lot faster
