The Diablo Demo Demon 12" Carbide Teeth Reciprocating Saw Blade for Pruning and Clean Wood is engineered for professionals who demand longer cutting life and faster results when tackling branches, rebar, angle iron, cast iron, and steel tube. Built on an aggressive carbide tooth geometry, this blade from Diablo delivers up to 50x longer cutting life compared to standard pruning blades - meaning fewer blade changes, less downtime, and greater productivity on the job. The 3 TPI configuration pairs large gullets with a strengthened, oversized blade body to keep chips clearing fast even in demanding pruning and demolition-style cutting scenarios. Compatible with both corded and cordless reciprocating saws, this blade is made in the United States and finished with a Perma-Shield non-stick coating to reduce friction and gumming for smooth, effortless cuts through tough wood and embedded materials.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density Carbide Tipped Cutting Edge - delivers up to 50x longer cutting life versus standard pruning blades, dramatically reducing how often you need to stop and swap blades on the job.
• Aggressive Carbide Tooth Geometry - optimized for fast, effortless cuts through branches, clean wood, and embedded metals like rebar and cast iron, giving you consistent performance across multiple material types.
• 3 TPI Blade Configuration - the low tooth count creates large gullets between teeth that evacuate chips quickly, preventing clogging and maintaining cutting speed in heavy-duty pruning and demolition applications.
• Strengthened, Oversized Blade Body - resists flex and deflection during extreme cutting applications, keeping your cuts straight and reducing blade fatigue over extended use.
• Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating - prevents gumming and reduces friction when cutting through resinous wood or tough materials, so each stroke stays fast and clean without binding.
• 12" Blade Length - provides deep reach for pruning large branches and cutting through thick stock, giving you access in tight spaces that shorter blades cannot reach.
• Compatible with Corded and Cordless Reciprocating Saws - fits both reciprocating saw types so you can use it with your existing tool, whether on-grid or on a jobsite without power access.
• Made in the United States - domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality control and reliable performance you can count on across every blade in this line.

Why This Product

• If you are cutting branches and embedded debris like rebar or angle iron in the same session, this blade handles all of it - you do not need to switch blades between wood and metal because the carbide teeth are rated for branches, rebar, angle iron, cast iron, and steel tube.
• The 50x longer cutting life over standard pruning blades means this carbide Demo Demon blade pays for itself quickly in reduced replacement costs and less time spent on blade changes during heavy pruning or demolition work.
• The combination of large gullets and a strengthened oversized body addresses the two most common failure points in aggressive cutting - chip buildup and blade flex - so performance stays consistent from the first cut to the last.
• The Perma-Shield coating solves a common frustration when cutting through resinous or gummy wood by actively resisting buildup, keeping each stroke smooth and reducing the effort needed to drive the blade through tough material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Diablo Demo Demon blade cut through?

This blade is designed to cut through branches, rebar, angle iron, cast iron, and steel tube - making it effective for pruning applications as well as cutting through embedded or mixed materials encountered during demolition-style work.

What reciprocating saws is this blade compatible with?

This 12" Diablo carbide reciprocating saw blade is compatible with both corded reciprocating saws and cordless reciprocating saws, so it fits most standard tool platforms you may already own.

Why does this blade last longer than standard pruning blades?

The blade uses a TiCo Hi-Density carbide tipped cutting edge with an aggressive carbide tooth geometry. This construction provides up to 50x longer cutting life compared to standard pruning blades, meaning the teeth hold their edge far longer before the blade needs to be replaced.

What does the Perma-Shield coating do, and why does it matter for wood cutting?

The Perma-Shield non-stick coating is applied to the blade body to prevent gumming and reduce friction during cuts. This is especially useful when cutting resinous or sappy wood, where traditional blades can bind or slow down due to sticky buildup on the blade surface.
