Freud DS1212BW2 12 Inch 6/12 Tpi Reciprocating Saw Blade 2 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DS1212BW2 is a 12-inch bi-metal reciprocating saw blade sold in a 2-pack under the Diablo Demo Demon line. It is engineered specifically for demolition work involving nail-embedded wood, where standard blades fail quickly. The blade features a bi-metal construction with an ultra-hardened cutting edge for extended blade life, and a non-stick Perma-Shield coating to reduce friction and heat buildup during aggressive cuts. A plunge tip design allows the blade to start cuts in flat material without a pre-drilled entry point. The oversized demolition blade body adds rigidity during heavy-duty teardown work. Licensed contractors, remodelers, and demo crews are the primary users of this blade.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial demolition applications where wood framing, sheathing, or structural lumber may contain embedded nails, screws, or other metal fasteners. It handles wood composites and nail-embedded wood effectively. The 6/12 TPI variable-tooth configuration balances fast material removal with enough tooth contact to manage embedded fasteners without stripping the blade prematurely. It fits standard reciprocating saw tool clamps and is appropriate for both plunge cuts and through cuts in demolition scenarios.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and removal should be performed with the tool unplugged or the battery pack removed. Ensure the blade is fully seated and locked in the tool clamp before initiating a cut. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when performing demolition cuts near embedded fasteners. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damage is found.
