Thanks for testing EZARC Titanium bi-metal blade against Diablo CARBIDE blade. As a company specialized on carbide technology, EZARC would appreciate an apple to apple comparison between our carbide blades and Diablo's. BTW, EZARC is not cheap, we just put more energy on the price performance ratio and value creation for the users while the named brands put their money on the marketing story!
We use your carbide blades on our projects, they last a very long time!
Glad to see you speak up for your products. Thank you
I agree, this test is whack. Not only are they different materials made for different things, but one is wide and one is regular width.
Both have their place, but it's not really fair to test them head to head.
For instance, when he said the wide blade didn't give a flush cut in the nails, it's because the wide sides were hitting.. You can see the burn marks down the sides.
Glad to see you guys in here calling this guy out on his BS
Hard to trust reviews when they are clearly be compensated for them. @@jmadera_6
far superior product, biased testing here.
Vince, I saw the comment by ezarc I would definitely suggest you take them up on their offer and put their carbide up against other carbides
Ezarc makes carbide blades too, which would be a better/fairer comparison. So this is not really a fair comparison since the blades are different materials.
Was about to say the same thing. This is an apples to oranges comparison, makes no sense not to test carbide vs carbide…
I have just seen a few comparisons or carbide on another video, which is why i got here. Seems diablo just blew the other 4 carbides away. I have some metal to cut on a boat and don't want to burn the epoxy paint. I am a diablo advocate now.
He’s not testing the brands he’s testing whether you should buy a $5 blade or a $20 blade

I use inexpensive blades because, while they do dull faster than very expensive blades, each time you put on a new cheap one it starts out completely sharp again. Whereas, using a more expensive blade it dulls over time. It never starts out sharp again. If you look at this as a graph of sharpness over time the expensive blade is a long slope down to where it isn't useful anymore. But, the inexpensive blades form a sawtooth shape which starts over and slopes down faster. If you add up the area under the curve a series of sawtooth curves has more area under the curve than a long descent. Area under the curve is equivalent to total sharpness over time which I think of as the value. If a blade costs 4 times as much as another, you still don't get 4x as much sharp time even if you don't throw it away until you have used the equivalent cost in cheaper blades. I use a lot of blades in my fence business and I have stopped buying expensive blades because they are just not worth it in my opinion.
As an engineer I find this to be a brilliant way to look at it especially if time is a concern.
But if a new cheap blade can't even get through the one thing then there's no point
@@robertscerni3548 Agreed but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
@billsedutto8824 yeah actually your right these new blades are still able to get the job done I guess it just depends
@@billsedutto8824 I think I would buy the cheaper ones too because I need some more
I got a 50 pack of cheap oscillating tool blades, because they're primarily used to cut through sheet rock. I'm also one of the few guys in our company that owns an oscillating tool, so guys are always borrowing it, I don't want to have high priced blades on a tool that others use. That's why I'm happy to have blades that I can throw away and not think twice about it. I have that same M12 oscillating tool too, I absolutely love it!
Fuck em buy his own lol its your pocket change you bought that with not his.. once a full moon okay.. not every week lol
Got advice from users, get both. Use the Diablo if its a job/time dependant. The cheap ones will do the job but take some time, maybe even more than 1 blade.
An obviously unfair comparison. Why not use the Ezarc carbide ,( around $25.00 for three blades, so still cheap) to compare. Do you compare cobalt drill bits against titanium coated bits? Apples to oranges.
Diablo makes great blades, and there's no question on that. However, this was not an apples to apples comparison. Ezarc also makes carbide blades. Why not compare one of those against the Diablo. Seams like he was going for a certain angle with this video.
Most of the time we are using our multi tool on drywall. The amazon blade is fantastic. At this point it won't cut anything more then sheetrock but its fine for sheetrock.
For me, it’s a mix of drywall and plywood… I have a $2 blades from Amazon and they work great… they wear our slightly faster than the Milwaukee blades but compared to their blade prices, it’s significantly better
I have almost completely stopped using my multitool for nails and screws. The only time I use it is for cutting nails between two pieces of wood. I now use my m18 4.5 inch angle grinder with cheap Harbor freight cutting wheels to get nails, staples and old rusted stripped screws out.
Totally agree using the right tool for the right job but I have a problem with Harbor Freight cutting tools after a grinding wheel blew up in my face. Granted it was about 10 yrs ago but I'm still wary of HF.
I think this also depends where you are in the world / H&S standards, in the UK you need an abrasive wheel 'ticket' to use grinders on site, possibly a 'hot works' one aswell, you won't need that with a multi tool, completely agree with you though. If you have the option choose the right tool
As someone uses Chineseium blades for the most part at home, the times that I bought the Milwaukee/Diablo blades during the holiday sales it truly is a Christmas miracle of a difference...😀
That's why we have reciprocating saw's. Cut out some junction boxes holes in some 1x6 or 1x8 boards that's what I'm looking for.
There is a set I buy 50 blades for $32 it literally does everything but cutting nails wrecks it. So I have a couple diablo blades just for the nail cuts but if I want a nice clean cut on a part of the job knowing I paid a$0.60 I swap it out
Bought the 12V after seeing the comparison video against the 18V model. Glad you stick by your opinions and use the better tool in this blade comparison.
I only own 12V and am glad to save $ sticking with compatible batteries. Multi tool is an excellent 1-3" tree limb trimmer btw 😂
Buy a 50 pack of the cheapest blades you can find. Quantity has a quality of its own. Doing remodeling my crew will run blades into all sorts of abrasive materials even carbide tipped blades get trashed running into high quality screws and plaster concrete ect
The inventor of Oscillating maschines is the company "FEIN", establishted 1867 in Germany, producing in Germany. A challange would be intersting, and btw. FEIN has a special "Carbite" saw blade for Metal, Stone, Wood. In our practical uses everybody know how fast a wood blade will be gone if something harder is behind the unknown wall....OK, in Germany this FEIN Carbide Pro BiM-TiN blade is around 32€, but in general maybe the best blade in this section? A comparison between the inventor and other High Level brands, as Milwaukee would be nice. 🙂
Diable is worth the price. Quick, easy, and long lasting. Those are the metrics used for any cutting blade and diable excels in all three categories.

I run the Milwaukee carbide blades, have held up really well
I like these as well. They’re great for nails. I usually use something cheaper for wood or drywall.
Love those Diablo blades. Always jn my box.

Diablo and Milwaukee blades are what I and my guys use daily
Gotta say this test made me disappointed in Milwaukee blades.
I'll probably switch to Diable and buy the cheap Amazon as throw away blades

Love my Bosch/Diablo blades and bits
Get a Milwaukee or dewalt set to store them in.
To me, this isn't really a question of which blade is ultimately better. I love using my oscillating tool. What pisses me off is that I can frame a whole house with a 20$ carbide circular saw blade but a single 15$ bi-metal oscillating blade will probably get wrecked when modifying a single doorway. ALL brands of these blades SHOULD cost 5$ each for general purpose types(not specialty like diamond). It's almost like all of the manufactures have colluded to set the price at 15$ each(10$ each in a 3-pack)....Dremel, DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc.

Diablo blades are my favorite across the board. That blade is a beast and I use them everyday. Personally I wish they were about half the cost of what they are, but it is what it is.

I buy Ezarc blades often. Very good bang for your buck as I'm often cutting into materials that are likely to damage any blade. If I just cut trim / stuff with a needed perfect finish I'd definitely buy the best but generally I can't justify the huge cost difference.

For the price exact didn’t do bad. But the point of the video is not to compare apples to apples, it’s to show comparison between expensive vs cheaper to show people each end of the spectrum so people can make an informed decision on what THEY need vs two blades that are practically the same.😊
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
This was interesting. As I was watching this, I got the impression, and you kind of gave the impression, that the EZARC blades were holding their own pretty well. Then you got to your conclusion and kind of wrote off the cheaper blades because you're not getting a lot of bang for your buck.
But aren't you? These blades are a 6:1 ratio as far as price goes. I understand the point about marring the work piece, which is fair, though I'm not too sure how much of a practical concern that'd be for an oscillating saw. If appearance matters that much, maybe a different tool should be used. Either way, fair point.
I think a more accurate test (not accounting for the different blade materials as others have mentioned) would be to run the Diablo until it's dull, then duplicate those cuts with the EXARCS, changing out blades when they dull, until you run through 6 of them.
Now, maybe the Diablo out lasts 6 EZARCS, who knows. With the EXARCS, you're still getting at least 6 cuts with fresh, unused teeth. Or imagine a scenario where you accidentally hit something that would immediately ruin either blade. Diablo you're out $30, EZARC you're out $5.
I think, generally speaking, if this kind of thing is your 9-5 job, you should probably be using mid-higher end tools and blades. If you're a hobbyist, DIYer etc., you're almost always better off finding the cheapest tools that still get decent reviews. I fall into the latter, and this video sold me on EZARCS.
Still, good video and appreciate the info! Thanks!
I like this video. It was very Informative, was wondering if you have done a video on the red helix hard metal Bits. I would like to know if $26 on a 1/2. Inch drill bit is worth it. Thanks, keep doing what you do.

EZ arc makes a multi-material, and Diablo makes a metal one. General purpose vs metal seems like apples and oranges. I use both, whenever diablo ones are on sale at HD I stock up.

You will never use an oscillating tool for cutting a 2x4 for people that are not in the trades… now for cutting pvc, sometimes you do since the sawzall/hacksaw or grinder won’t cut it… you will rarely gut a straight cut with an oscillating tool however. But you can get a fairly straight cut with an extended blade or just cut it long enough from wherever the pvc section needs to be replaced and then use a sawzall
Oscillating tool mostly comes in clutch for drywall/plywood carving for holes… you can pair it with a 3in cut off tool as well if it’s plywood for a faster cut… but for drywall cutting I’d personally use a my handy drywall router but the oscillating tool is a viable option depending on the space you have and whatever it is you’re trying to do. It can do a lot but what drags it down is that the blades are expensive compared to sawzall, grinder and even 3in cut off tool blades
I use the ezarc metal blades for cutting nails off of nail-on boxes because they're pretty good and last a good while and they're cheap. I've found that there are no metal cutting blades that have what I would consider great life. I'd rather use the best cheap blade for the occasions that I cut metals than doing unnecessary damage to a blade I would otherwise like to keep clean for cutting cabinets. Then I use my junky wood cutting/multi-material blades for cutting drywall.
The Milwaukee metal blades are shit! I was cutting a bath faucet off and it took 3!

I am a remodeling contractor too and I feel like there is a place and time to actually have both cheaper blades but still quality like EZARC and the best blade on the market which right now is Diablo. I don't waste my money on the extremely cheap china branded weird named blades cause yes they are crap. One cut and usually they are already done. Got some on Temu for example and total trash.
Vince enjoys the BOSCH blades
Never had a problem with Diablo blades. Had one on my table saw that lasted for years.

@@DivinityIsPurity Yeah but he's doing that to show a price comparison of a carbide blade verses multiple non carbide blades.
my diablo multitool blades have proven time and time again that they are a league above the cheap competitors. Tooth retention is the best i've seen. Buy once and it will last you a long time.

I recently purchased some Diablo metal cutting blades. I was looking for Ezarc, but couldn't find any Ezark with Starlock. I was able to get a pack of 3 of the Diablo Carbide for about $32.00 from Amazon.

Cleaning out the old van, I came across the container of cheap, Amazon blades I had bought. Just tossed them in the trash, they did not even cut sheetrock well after cutting in 3 or 4 boxed.
Use the cheap ones for Sheetrock, plastic and thin wood panels and the expensive one for 2x4’, metal and harder materials…
I am torn between the blades. Personally I love the performance of the Diablo and Freud, Milwaukee, even Dewalt. Love carbide blades. Because I'm fussy I like the accuracy of the good blades. Most of my saws have good quality blades on them except when I'm demolishing something. Yet even there the better blades bought on sale saves so much time. I use allot of Milwaukee and Diablo blades. Yet When fencing and cutting deck boards, I have found that a better blade lasts longer, cuts better, but in the end the pressure treating destroys those blades. So then the cheap blades seem prudent. Yet One of my partners saw me cut through a bad angle position but with a good quality Milwaukee blade on The cordless Milwaukee sawsall, I cut through a 4x6 in under a minute and it was buried in the ground. To me that is worth it. My ex business partner now uses the better blades all the time! So if you value your time and lack of body punishment?

In my experience, once you hit a nail with any brand, you're gonna be looking for a new blade shortly
I got a 2 pack of diablos 6 months ago. I still havent got to the second one
Bet you got that awesome $8.48 deal too! 👍🏻

Noticed you helping to swing the Diablo’s back and forth a bit more than the EZARC seems you hold the EZARC in one place not helping it out as much maybe its just me seeing things .
I only use the expensive Diablo blades on the more fine projects where cuts will be directly seen. I have had the same 3 pack of Diablo for nearly 3 years. I have used a 32 pack of equivalent Ezarc blades for the same amount of time which I had purchased for less than 1/2 the cost. Since my wife and I bought our 1st home 3 years ago I have been amassing my garage of tools for all the MANY diy jobs since our home was used as a rental property previously (omg, we had no idea how the previous owners always hiring the cheapest handy man could screw simple things up). Most all the things I have found that people do with multitool blades are going to be fully encased or easily covered anyway. So really, this "test" is kind of pointless unless you care more about the brand in your hand than the money in your bank account.
You bought 32 ezarc blades for half the cost of the 3 Diablo?? Something is off here
I keep both on hand. Grandkids get the cheap ones. Diablos are for me.

so diablo on last cut through wood seemed to be smoking a lot as you were cutting
I really can't see spending more for a saw blade, drill bit, screwdriver bits these are basically throw away items. I understand that maybe the more expensive ones may be a better quality but honestly how many times can they be reused? and would that justify the added expense?
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
Not the greatest comparison considering ezarc has arched blades too. If you compared the flat Diablo it would have been a better match up. But other wise awsome video.
Be mindful of how much wood you cut off that 2x4. You never know when the 2x4s will skyrocket to $23,000 again
🤣
The comment section wants a fair fight. EzArc carbide vs Diablo Carbide@@VCGConstruction
@projectfarm definitely gave his approval to EzArc
how much better will these blade cut with a stronger multi tool

Should’ve cut some copper see how it does I try cutting copper and some blade didn’t do well then about a lil better blade it did cut copper better
So what if they cheaper they get the job done.
I’ve used the experience ones and had them fail.
I buy 100 pack and never run out at the same price of 4 of the name brand ones no brainer.
I’ve used Ezarc and turned out to be good using one of the diamond blade ones today on some thick plaster needed to grind it down to the center block worked fantastic.

Running a remodel company as well, Diablo blades are the ONLY way to go. Not a surprise to see this. Great blades, expensive, maybe. I would put a Diablo blade up against 4 Milwaukee Titanium (or Other blade) they just are much better made. I was going broke buying the Milwaukee blades.
ive missed this
Carbide vs titanium coated? You gotto be kidding here
Obviously an unfair matchup.
Without watching the video yet (I will), any blade that burns wood when coupled with a quality tool like a Milwaukee (or Dewalt or similar) is a no go for me. I am of the mindset that you should have some of the lesser quality blades (not the bottom rung blades) for tasks that don't requite the high quality blade, then of course, use the high quality blade when the job demands it. If you are cutting drywall or PVC, for example, you don't need a Diablo all purpose blade.
Sus how this guy never replied about using EZARC's carbide blade instead of their lesser titanium one.
Just appeared like you didn’t give the Ezarc the same angle of cut. Like you intentionally wanted it to ride up on cutting the screws. Not ragging just appeared biased.
They have the "door ability. "
I got 16 multi material blades for $23.88 on amazon, beats diablo by a long shot. My blade gets slightly dull, I throw it in the trash. Diablo on the other hand I wont throw in the trash but keep cutting with it once it almost fully dull. Is this sponsored by diablo? hmmmm
I am not getting generic stuff from amazon and that I need to depend upon. Harbor freight on the very rarest of occasion but nothing wrong with their products and only getting better. I do prefer Diablo, Milwaukee and Dewalt for nonspecialized-general use accessories. I do go the extra distance for more specialized accessories-fine/custom wood working.
i think you'll always have time to time good rebate on home depot and even Amazon on Diablo blade to have a couple of them in stock so like that i don't waste time and quality work with cheap blade

Deberías usar el mismos material en las blades no compares carbide y titanium son diferentes
Where is the vid
Ezarc also makes carbide blades. From experience they are great. They may not be as up to par with the Diablo but you can get 3carbide for same price as one. So to me a better option.
Vince is jacked
if at the same price, its diablo all the way! sadly thats not the case everytime
its not burning it's rubbing the paint off.
You sound like your from South Jersey
Deal gone?

Im sure alot of fires have been started with a multi tool

I won't ever go back to cheap oscillating blades. Way to much of a headache. Diablo blades are world beaters.
The nails with wood test was just nails. Maybe nails in wood buy not wood. Good blade
I get Diablo blades from my company and I can’t stand them. They flex when I try to cut straight drywall destroys them. They were good on wood, but not worth the money.
Ezarc blades get really good reviews on youtube.
Deffo not the 'cheapest on amazon.'
Have you tried out the new Nitrus Milwaukee blades Extreme metal is in the name and they’re probably the best and most expensive blades I’ve tried
I’d think those and other ‘titanium’ type blades are more metal specific blades, preferably with cutting oil, but I could be wrong..

If you want to be successful and off a shoe string budget it's simple. Start looking at everything as value per dollar. And I mean everything.
Example:
4 cheap tires for $600 = 15,000 miles
4 expensive tires $1,200 = 40,000 miles
Over the life of the tires the expensive tires clearly cost less money. This is the same for most premium items and it's a major reason poor people stay poor. They spend more money than people who are wealthy
where's the cheap amazon blade?
How is this fair test?, you used titanium against carbide? Why not against ezarc carbide? Hope life treats you in the same unfair way so you get the point.

Is Diablo 600+ times better - NO I'll take a fresh blade over a Diablo used 30 times
