I like the Milwaukee and Lenox blades and then vermont......haven't used the Diablo one's yet, may give those a whirl soon.

I always buy the Milwaukee blades in the combo pack with the case. I make sure every job starts with at least two of those packs and if I need more I grab the bulk packs. I like Lenox for their utility knife blades hands down, but the recip blades have always left me wanting more out of it.

I will grab a few diablos to check them out. As many blades as I chew through its alway good to have the best

The right blade for what youre cutting is more important.

 

As far as brands I would avoid diablo non-carbide because the blades are too sharp and will probably stall a hackzall if you put any force on the cut.  The other brands of blades all seem about the same although I havent used the pricey lenox ones.

I voted Diablo, but that's all I've ever used and haven't had any complaints.  I'm not a pro by any definition when it comes to this stuff, and when I asked the guy at HD, he said the Diablo blades were good bang for the buck blades.

Millwakee, Diablo, or sometimes Lenox are my preferences for blades. If I see packs for a good deal I pick them up, I can always use them.

I can't stand the avanti ones sold at Home Depot, there cheap but cut an wear horrible. The Bosch blades work but not great, I think there overpriced compared to the compitions better quality.

my vote is diablo for any cutting blade.... Bosch for drilling blades

[WigWagWorkshop]

DeWalt, always had good luck with them

[Fazzman]

Diablo,lenox,and Bosch blades are good. Personally always thought dewalt blades were junk. It all depends what you're cutting. The new diablo carbide blades can cut through nearly anything.

I really like the milwaukee blades with the case.

[regopit]

I have found that Diablo is great for would and lenox is great for steal

[Wai H. Ho]

my choice is Diablo for cutting

[comp56]

I find diablo is a great blade for it's price point.....

[Mondo1310]

I like the Milwaukee one that it came with so far. But gonna get some Diablo to try out as well. Thanks crew for all the recommendations.

I'll believe that when I see it.  They've been promising that tool fight for years.

[Mondo1310]

We got a preview on periscope. Surprising the Milwaukee was dead even with the Lenox. But Dan said they ran into problems after that so we'll see what ends up happening.

I use Diablo Blades and I like them a lot.  I hear Milwaukee's got some nice blades too.

[bothuhead19]

The hackzall's a pretty cool tool.  So many uses for it, especially pruning.

Diablo blades are awesome!! I haven't got to use any of the new carbide ones yet though

You're missing out.  Don't wait till you burn up a pack of bimetal blades on some hardened steel to get one.

+1 for Diablo..if your run through blades you might aswell use these..get cut for the buck!!

[Maxwell Tyler Ray]

Milwaukee, Lenox, Dewalt all are great performers aswell but can add up $$$$$$
