Freud DS1203CP 12 Inch 3 Tpi Carbide Pruning Blade 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS1203CP is a 12-inch, 3 TPI carbide-tipped reciprocating saw blade engineered for pruning and clean wood cutting applications. Built under the Diablo line, this blade features an aggressive carbide tooth geometry that delivers cutting life rated at 50 times longer than standard bi-metal blades. Large gullets and a strengthened, oversized blade body promote fast chip evacuation in demanding cutting conditions. A Perma-Shield non-stick coating reduces friction and prevents gum and resin buildup, keeping cuts fast and controlled through dense or sappy wood. Sold in a pack of five blades.

This blade is suited for arborists, tree service crews, landscapers, and general contractors handling pruning, limb removal, and clean wood demolition. The 3 TPI tooth count delivers an aggressive, fast cut through fresh or seasoned wood. The 12-inch blade length provides reach for overhead or deep-cavity cuts where shorter blades fall short. These are a practical choice anywhere reciprocating saws are used for vegetation management or rough wood clearing.
