Saxton R228BC Brick Concrete Cement Board Cutting Reciprocating Sabre Saw Blade

Very useful addition to my toolkit, I am remodelling a house so many old brick walls needed cutting.My 9inch grinder needed sending off for repair so this was a welcome useful tool. Normally, if you can get to both sides of a single brick wall, nothing beats the speed of using a large grinder with a diamond blade, dusty but gets the job done. For perfect cuts, cut one side with grinder then drill through top and bottom of cut, draw a line on other side between the drill holes and cut off the remaining depth from the other side with grinder.Where this comes in useful is when the angle grinder can't be used on the other side such as a cavity wall or when a small grinder can't finish the cut from both sides. Without this blade, the cut will need to be finished off with a bolster which will not leave a clean edge.It is still good to cut as deep as possible using a grinder then use a drill bit to make a few holes, enough to allow this blade to pass through the wall. The blade will then easily cut through the rest, leaving a very clean edge. The deeper you can cut with a grinder the faster the remaining cut will be. Without the help of a grinder the cut seems to take forever and the blade is more likely to bend in the wall during the cut so you won't get a straight cut on the other side (especially on soft blockwork)To summarise, I found it to be very useful but only to finish cuts in combination with an angle grinder. Also, I have cut at least a dozen brick walls using the above methods and the blade is still as good as new.

Used during demolition of a brick and block internal wall. Chain drilled with a 30mm drill then used this to cut between the holes. Worked perfectly. Still life left in the blade afterwards too

Does cut and helped me with the project i had on my house to cut through bricks but It Doesn’t cut through brick like through butter others said in the reviews . Saying that it foes the job with a bit of patience

Did job on concrete well. Good price

Cut nearly through thermolite blocks no problem. One door way cut and barely any signs of wear to the blade.

Good quality, works well, quick delivery. Thank you

I used this to cut a hole for window in mgt bathroom wall. It was great and easy on breeze block but bricks were harder to get through. The machine got hot too. It created dust but significantly less than an angle grinder. I only had 26 bricks to cut so although it took time, it was safer than an angle grinder being used on scaffold tower. If you've got a lot more bricks than a grinder would be quicker

Works great
