I need to just say that project farm is the literal best reviewer ever, he takes 0 sponsorships, spends dozens of hours on each video, and provides genuinely unbiased information on every product tested, it's like he got sick of not being able to find actually good information and said "Well if no one else will do it I'll do it myself" and never broke away from that mindset, I watch every single one of your videos and disable adblock and let all of the ads run in their entirety because your channel deserves it, in this world it's almost impossible to find someone who does something like this, I can't even compare this content to anything because it's just so perfect, he goes above and beyond to insure that every possible variable is accounted for, thank you so much for doing what you do!
Agreed! Todd has so much traffic on this channel and yet still took the time to be grateful to one of my comments on a video that was posted MONTHS ago and it was a day or two after I commented. I was shocked.
Whenever he posts a review, I decide I need to replace my existing tools with the correct versions.. I had actually been waiting for him to do a review on these though, so I'm particularly excited. I'm throwing away my old dremel blade as soon as my EZARC and Impreial blades arrive (on Tuesday).
Glad to see tool companies are paying attention to Project Farms videos. That really makes me feel like the company cares about the performance of their products. I'll be trying them out on my next purchase of oscillating tool blades.
@@ProjectFarm my dad has a company doing renovations and repairs for people and I send these videos to him so he can figure out the best products. I just watch for entertainment lol
I would love to see an updated version of this one. Oscillating blades have come a long way and Diablo makes one that I’m interested to see if it stacks up to the competition
@@ProjectFarmthe problem with your test is that the impact of the drops fractured the teeth, if you had a smaller distance between nails and less incline angle, you would get more accurate results. You can see that the teeth were chipped from impact due to the fracture angle on the teeth.
@@internet_internet Maybe an accurate representation for someone who slams the blades against every nail as they cut them. This tests the toughness more than the durability, because carbide by nature is brittle, it's not meant to be slammed. If there is a smoother entry, the blades would last much longer and perform more consistently.
Would love to see a retest with some of the other/new offerings as well as a wood,Sheetrock, and tile version of these tests. You are always a great source of good solid info when buying these things.

OMG. This channel is outstanding for DIY’ers. The test rigs, all the effort to equalise the test conditions etc. Honestly this channel deserves an award. Great, clear information, unbiased well illustrated with simple charts. Simply the best tool testing channel on the planet. Congratulations
I’m fairly certain we have experienced a first with this video....... “The second most expensive blade in our test..... sold at harbor freight” That made me laugh... But for real I’ve been here since you were less than 100k and I’ve never missed a video. Hands down one of the only channels I drop what I’m doing to watch when you post a new video. Thank you, you’ve saved me a lot of money over the last few years!
I've noticed Harbor Freight has started selling more expensive, better quality options along with the cheap options. See the PF video on step drills for example.
originally i couldn't justify buying a multi tool for my limited use cases considering the blades are expensive and most of them don't last for anything other than wood. this video gave me the confidence i needed and i love my dewalt 20v XR multi tool and i only use the EZarc blades. thanks project farm for everything you do. we appreciate it more than you can imagine.
Your editing is masterful Sir, Bravo You could make more $$ by wasting our time rambling on or posting normal speed prep, but no, you get right to the point and I rarely need to skip ahead. Easily one of the most useful channels on YT
@@gpweaver PF for DIY and maintenance stuff and Freakin' Reviews for gadgety things. Everyone else is sponsored, doesn't read the instructions or both.
@@gpweaver This is exactly it. It's hard to find people who review stuff independently without any financial support because of how expensive doing this stuff can be sometimes. In this case the cost of wood, nails/screws, tools, and bits. And the most expensive stuff, recording equipment and time spent.
The effort and well thought designs, along with the pretest planning that you put into these tests are outstanding. But then again, you do have a farm.
The test is flawed. Carbide is incredibly sensitive to blunt slamming, as is what happens when each fastener is cut. That wasnt really wear we saw on the teeth, it was mostly fracturing.
Thanks for the test! I was going to pass on the EZ ARC brand but thanks to you I'll give them a try. I considered the Diablo brand too. Plunge cuts are where these tools really shine but I try and cut metal with an angle grinder using a cutoff wheel whenever possible.
Angle grinders weigh a lot more and many times you don’t have enough room for an angle grinder. Like if you are sistering rafter beams and you need to cut the roofing nails poking through the ceiling. Many many times there just isn’t enough room for an angle grinder or it’s too heavy to use and your only options are a Dremel or an oscillating tool.
@@americafirst2785 Depends where you use it, recip saw and cut off wheel are always cut efficiently, but the tool can't do flush cut and don' have enough space in some area.
This is great. I never cut metal with mine but I find they’re almost useless in wood as soon as you nick metal or concrete. Would love to see this exact test again cutting through 1” hardwood and softwood dowels.
I don't make a habit of cutting metal except for aluminum or copper, but sometimes you have no choice, and it hurts like hell to spend $15 to cut through a few nails.
@@TestECull A DIY light strip, light bar, trouble light and new headlights for your lawn and garden machine. That's about what I've dedicated some for.
Just have to love this man's passion for testing tools, and this setup was very clever! EZARC should be paying attention, as after watching this video I immediately bought a 3-pack of the hard-metal blades for my Dewalt. Looking forward to testing them out !!
Consumer Reports vs. Project Farm : No contest... Consumer Reports has nothing over Project Farm! Todd I hope your channel continues to grow and hope you get as much satisfaction out of doing these tests as much as the rest of us enjoy the huge benefits. You should run a couple more ads during your videos. It would be good for you and the your great product!
@@88SherryLynn Consumer Reports is also unpaid. They do not accept money from advertisers. They stay alive with donations from consumers. Unbiased? Can't prove that one way or another with any reviews.
I would love to see sockets on here. Maybe have a rig with a welded bolt and see how much torque it takes before the socket rounds off the bolt or the socket breaks. I love your videos and have been watching for a long time. Just found out recently you were local when I saw a shatto milk bottle!
Absolutely love your work! Thank you for going to great lengths to test out these blades. Often times it is marketing hype which leads to extreme disappointment. Keep creating killer content!
I live in Sweden where many of the brands are not sold but I enjoy watching it anyway just because he does so good and clever tests with simple equipment.
Can we just appreciate the amazing quality of this channel and his experiments are. I’ve used his videos to buy at least 3 different items and they’ve all worked great !
I would love to see a test of the multi-tool blades on clean wood, as well as wood with nails, similar to how you tested reciprocating saw blades! Awesome stuff!
Publishing the video a day early to see Sunday works out better for everyone. Please let me know your preference. An easy way to find past videos along with products tested is this project list bit.ly/2FCrBpk A big thanks to Jim for putting this together. Looking forward to reading your comments and your future video suggestions! Best regards, Todd Blades tested:
I’m in the minority but work all odd hours and 7 days a week. Sometimes up to work at 10pm sometimes 10am. Truck driver. But am subbed and notifications on. I watch em all buddy.
These blades actually cut through nails more efficiently at slower speeds with less damage caused to the blade. When I’m cutting nails with my fein, I put the speed setting at 1 and can cut dozens of nails with no damage done to the blade.
Thx. That makes a lot of sense, actually. I think the heat from the friction might be tempering the steel (removing the hardening)... at which point it becomes soft steel saw teeth vs hardened steel nail. (If that's the case; cooling the saw blade in water in between cuts could help too.) Thanks again! Definitely going to try this :)
@@Stevesbe You should be able to order a new part directly from Fein, man. They should have parts in stock for almost every model power tool they ever manufactured (even ones from decades ago).
i can't think of any other channel that consistently has such high quality content that requires so much setup and preparation. you are constantly impressing us with the amount of time, effort, and money you obviously put into each video!!
I think I do like the Sunday posting a little better. Either day works OK, but there seems to be a little more time on the weekend to watch them. Thank you for all the hard work you do in these reviews - they are priceless!
@AlexisBubba15 agreed. I’m all Milwaukee. But after using their multi tool blades, went to using imperial blades. Other than that though, Milwaukee has been solid in pretty much everything else. But they are pricey
Thanks so much!! You have made my life as a contractor easier with your recommendations and saved me from wasting money on garbage tools and accessories. This channel is just the best. Again, thank you so much!!
I'm going to just start commenting on every one of your videos to increase your metrics because you definitely earn it. Your videos are some of the most practically useful things on RUclips and your testing methods are inventive and practical. Great work!
I love that you reply to many of your comments. Engaging with the subscribers really helps bridge the gap between youtuber and viewers. Keep up the work! Love the information you provide as well, I'm always telling my dad and boss what tools are best and they have more experience using brands but you help bring the best.
Yea gotta watch some of the inexpensive dewalt choices though...bought a set of impact bits for under $10 at lowes for black friday and they all are corroded as can be, all the ones I haven't even taken out of the box they came in. The Hercules bits I bought actually seemed to maintain their coating pretty well, but the more expensive dewalt bits seem to do great by comparison to their cheap sets.
@@bassnazi4713 corrosion is a funny thing. You might clean those bits up and they may not corrode from then on. That'd be because of the production of black iron oxide. Which is corrosion resistant itself. There's different kinds of rust. There's the reddish orange stuff and black oxide. But then again you could clean them up and they could get the red cancer too. Check out the iron pillar of Delhi. It is protected by black iron oxide.
That’s because for some reason he used the titanium blade for dewalt instead of the carbide like he did for all the other brands. I think the dewalt carbide is $20
Another great test. LOVE to see the least expensive beats the overpriced ones. I always look to see if you have tested a tool or accessory before buying it.
Fun fact of the day, oscillating saws were developed to remove casts from broken limbs without cutting the person's arm or leg after it's been healed. That's due to the flexibility of our skin which moves along with the small back and forth movement of the blade of the saw.
I was one of the first to use it. (had it used on me) I broke my arm as a kid. The doc showed me it would cut the cast, but not his hand. I was still very afraid it was going to cut me.
@@noahway13 Different type of technology on those dremels vs construction dremels. I personally know 2 guys that nearly lost a finger from a oscillator/ multi tool. I've been bitten a few times, luckily not as severe as theirs.
Haha it is true, my first contact with the oscillating saw was in my teenage days when doctors sawed the helmet from my head after a motorcycle accident. I never was exposed to such a level of noise like that time. The feeling was like you put your head in the jet engine. These were fun times.
Sincerity, enthusiasm, and humility. You remind me that things are not so bad, and that we can get through this. I know it's a product testing video, but it is also a lot more.
Literally the first thing I did after deciding I needed to buy blades was to see whether you had a video. And you did. You’re a gem, and that’s a fact.
I love how he takes a very scientific approach to his testing. He removes the human factor and it shows true and unbiased test results. I have referred many friends to check these videos out
I wonder if the shock of each drop was a significant contributor to the tooth damage, though. it doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to expect of any cutting tool, other than a chisel. Harder teeth that might otherwise hold up very well to prolonged cutting might get broken from the repeated impacts. I certainly don't slam my reciprocating blades (or any other) into a surface like that.
I see many people talking about the impact the cutter experienced in between the nails. What about another no gap test? No slamming of the cutter teeth. As always, an excellent job!
@@ProjectFarm Hey Todd. While I'm sure many people mean well, I understand that you're trying to keep the testing as consistent as possible. Yes, people who use a oscillating tool will move the blade back and forth using as much of the blade as possible to extend blade life. But your testing still gives us an idea of the hardness of each blade and its ability to stand up to the cutting of the hardest typical stuff (nails and drywall screws) we'd use it for. As for which day, Sundays are a bit better for me and I set your channel for all notifications so I don't miss your new videos. Thank you a I hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Thanks for this, I've owned one of those Oscillating multi-tools for a while and bought a cheap set - but never pulled the trigger on a good blade. This is very helpful information
I dont even need a multi tool blade, I just love how your videos are made. Your tests are always well thought out and methodically performed and reported!
Right on. I was actually thinking about getting new wipers yesterday, but then I thought, I should wait until it starts raining because the wipers will probably rot in the meantime. I'm in SoCal, so it might be another month before it rains. As a side note, and maybe a prediction, the best wipers I ever owned were the Motorcraft brand. Lasted 4 years, from Texas storms, through Colorado winters. Finally failed when I got back to SoCal.
@@EM-fi2qg Bosch Aerotwin here. Best blades I've ever owned. I live in the CA desert, and they hold up for 2-3 years before I decide to replace them, and even then, I'm only replacing them because I see a couple streaks - they could still safely clear the rain.
Thankyou so much for doing all your product review. They save me money as well as helping me choose the best products. Your proceedgers are so much better than what I see in other reviewer. I really appreciate how quickly you talk and move the reviews along and your charts, pricing, and product links make it easy to use your review to better my life. Thanks again. You deserve every positive comment you recieve.
Don't tell anyone, but I just buy the 50 packs of blades off Amazon for like $40. I've been using these tools since the MultiMaster came out, and I've found their best use to be cutting drywall. It's easy to get an accurate, quick, clean hole for switch boxes with them. It's the perfect too for cutting out access holes during a job that are square and easy to patch. Everyone else just takes a sawzall or hammer and makes a giant mess. If the drywall guy is lucky they used a drywall saw and at least cut semi straight lines. With a multimaster and a level you can make perfect holes ready to be patched. Their second best use isn't much different, cutting holes in cabinets for outlets, like under a sink or in a microwave cabinet. And cutting off PVC/ABS pipes near the edge, or right up next to a fitting. Mostly when replacing a sinkbase. Cut the pipe off flush with the fitting in the wall then use a fitting reamer to get a nice new hole to start over with. Very rarely I'll use them for other things. The other day I had to cut some stairway trim flush with the subfloor since I removed a wall it used to bear against. And I used one to cut a half inch of a door header to get a new door to fit in the hole without cutting it down. They're wonderful tools, but with over 10 years of using one, I never found a need to cut nails or copper pipes with them.
Appreciate your attention in trying to remove most of the variables, to produce seemingly unbiased results. Including the prices, manufacturing country, and Bar graphs helps also. Great job!
Heat is the last thing you ever have to worry about with tungsten carbide tooling. When steel is a liquid carbide is still solid for thousands of degrees. So the hotter it gets the better carbide cuts. Because only the steel is getting softer.
@@downhilldaddy9346 studying tungsten carbide alloys is pretty involved. The best answer experts can give is test it and see. They might point you in a particular direction but ultimately only results matter.
Newly subscribed and watched a few of your vids. Unbiased, creative reviews that doesn't cater to fanboys of a particular brand (or to the reviewer's own bias). Probably the only YT tools/ home improvement reviewer I trust. Keep up the great work!
Would love to see a version of this for starlock blades. Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into these videos; you're my first stop when I'm considering a buy.
While I liked this since I use my oscillating blade daily, for the most part I try to avoid the nails. Would love to see this done with wood. Similar style jig but maybe with 1in holes drilled in and use dowel rods or something
I use a Bosch oscillatoting multi tool quite often and tend to push or slam into the work. I guess its normal action to use the tool this way. Its possible that this could cause premature wear on the blade and the tool itself.
@@MrRedAlexander part of the problem lies with tool being very light weight. A user tend to be more forceful when using a light tool to compensate for lack of weight.
When you can't see in demo work it's not uncommon to catch a fastener and while using force go through one not knowing the thickness and the force applied carries into the next fastener
I don't know how you come up with all these perfect ways to test everything fairly but you do everytime and it's awesome! I always have your reviews in my head now when shopping! You are doing a great thing! Thank you!
I've been wanting one of these tools for occasional use at home in my shop and now I know what blades to get...thanks and as always GREAT work on providing us all real and useful information.
That was some fantastic testing, I was thinking perhaps with the carbide blades. As carbide is very brittle the slamming down into the next screw or nail is not ideal, but it doesn't change the results given the uniform test methodology, they were all subject to the same conditions. Love your work as always!
Nice one PF! Since these blades typically do wear out fast cutting nails and screws, screws being much harder to cut; i think the dremel blade one. But thats just me lol.
This has got to be one of the best channels on RUclips. Here I am watching this video… again. I could skip to the end and just review the results, but I’m a nerd and enjoy watching the tests. Thanks for the great content PF!
This is the best tool testing channel there is. I really love the setups you have in these videos, they easily show the difference between products and they're fun to watch. And even though I wouldn't nee the particular tool I can learn what features to look in tools
TestECull,I agree with you. This just about the worst cutting scenario for an oscillating blade. All the cutting action is focused on a very small proportion of the cutting edge. 1 mm ultra thin grinderette disc would last for ages on these sort of cuts and far less expensive. But as you say, taking the fixings out would be preferable.
If you're cutting the bottom of floor trim to install flooring removing anything buried in the trim is not practical. And that's what these multi-tools end up doing a lot professionally. It's pretty much all they're good for.
In my ‘world’, whenever I intend to buy a product, I always check your site for your analysis and evaluation. Your work and service to the public is without equal. 🤔👍
This is really cool. Your test setup is very creative and impressive. I use my buzzer every day on the job and 99.99% of the blades I use are the $2-$3 ones that come in 100 packs. I will sometimes try out expensive ones but I can never justify their cost. I have found the best way to extend their life is by matching the right blade for the cut you're making, control heat, and make sure to not stay in one spot on the blade.
I’ve used every one in this test and went back to the 50-100 packs. I keep some Milwaukee ones for important stuff but I use mine every day as well as none of the expensive ones are worth the increase in cost maybe if I used it once or twice a day. I should mention I only have Milwaukee blades cause they been on sale lately at around 3-4$ a blade buying multi packs.
Buddy this is some of the best content on RUclips! I really enjoy seeing what you come up with as a test rig for different tools or products. Really clever, and I know it takes a lot of time and resources to do this. Good job man. I’m a fan!
Best of your tests so far. This Ezarc will save me a ton of money. If you ever revisit this I would suggest somehow minimizing or cushioning the drop between nails/screws. The drop alone could break teeth especially with the 5 pounds of weight. Maybe in that scenario a different blade will come out on top.
@@ProjectFarm Another suggestion would be to alternative the positions of the nails left-center-right as to give the blade time to cool off at least a few seconds before hitting the next nail and the next.
I was pretty much looking for this comment, the harder blades materials might be more prone to breaking or chipping due to the impact of the drop. Tricky jig design though to gently engage the blade and then apply pressure like a human would do but without the human 'error' involved.
@@ProjectFarm I think reducing the impact damage could be done by just putting the nails/screws as close together as possible without weakening the track material too much. This will give the tool much less time to pick up speed.
@@ProjectFarm A piece of pink foam board material in front of each nail would absorb the impact, and yet the blade would slice through it quick and easy.
I literally came over here thinking I'd had a great idea for a video suggestion, then I was like maybe I should search for it... You've done it! Thanks as always you're a legend!
@@AFriedChicken While this is true, it does still show which brands are more durable overall given the same conditions. So if you use them the way they ought to be used, the winner should still last longer than the rest.
@@mrboojay I can't argue that, sir. If I may suggest, the best one my boss and I have found are straight from Fein Tools' website. We've tried dozens of brands (Amazon, DeWalt, HW store brands, etc) and they're the strongest, longest lasting ones. A good metal-cutting blade was hard to find until we started buying Fein's. Expensive but used right and they'll last you. Happy cutting, sir!
I agree!! Especially the Milwaukee. I'm glad that I haven't purchased any to this point. You are always enticed by the 20X longer lasting, which we all know is a crock of shit.
i just want to say i love you’re test vids on this stuff i use every day. thank you for doing this consumer testing i really appreciate it, it has helped me buy some things!
PT lumber is precious stuff, here in New England the stuff has been like Unobtanium this summer, and you end up scouring 3 or 4 or 5 lumber and hardware stores trying to scrounge what you need and get stuff that isn't all warped and splintery. The contractors are all swamped with work and they are having the same problem finding materials. I bought my own materials for somebody else to build a small balcony porch for me, I had half of what I needed already stashed in the basement, but getting the rest was a nightmare. I hope Project Farm puts those posts to good use, or gives them to some local carpenter, or to a neighbor with a DIY project, for free or at a greatly reduced price. I wouldn't care about the nails or screws in them, I would have used them here, no questions asked.!
I just can't get enough of these videos. Your videos are such a vital tool to know you are getting your moneys worth on that next trip to the hardware store.

where can we get the ezarc blades at??
@@ProjectFarmthe problem with your test is that the impact of the drops fractured the teeth, if you had a smaller distance between nails and less incline angle, you would get more accurate results. You can see that the teeth were chipped from impact due to the fracture angle on the teeth.
@@blizzardesigns
True, but it still does show a pretty accurate representation of how durable the blades are.
@@internet_internet Maybe an accurate representation for someone who slams the blades against every nail as they cut them. This tests the toughness more than the durability, because carbide by nature is brittle, it's not meant to be slammed. If there is a smoother entry, the blades would last much longer and perform more consistently.
I'm not even interested in most of these products, but I keep coming back to this channel because of the brilliant testing methods

OMG. This channel is outstanding for DIY’ers. The test rigs, all the effort to equalise the test conditions etc. Honestly this channel deserves an award. Great, clear information, unbiased well illustrated with simple charts. Simply the best tool testing channel on the planet. Congratulations
He really does a fantastic job. May be a bit fast paced but he is thorough.
I’m fairly certain we have experienced a first with this video.......
“The second most expensive blade in our test..... sold at harbor freight”
That made me laugh...
But for real I’ve been here since you were less than 100k and I’ve never missed a video. Hands down one of the only channels I drop what I’m doing to watch when you post a new video.
Thank you, you’ve saved me a lot of money over the last few years!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
I had to rewind to make sure I heard him correctly about the Harbor Frieght price.
Is there a video for best oscillating tool? If so please share
I've noticed Harbor Freight has started selling more expensive, better quality options along with the cheap options. See the PF video on step drills for example.
Can you explain that for non-US viewers? Is Harbor Freight one of the cheaper hardware stores in the United States?
originally i couldn't justify buying a multi tool for my limited use cases considering the blades are expensive and most of them don't last for anything other than wood. this video gave me the confidence i needed and i love my dewalt 20v XR multi tool and i only use the EZarc blades. thanks project farm for everything you do. we appreciate it more than you can imagine.
You can resharpen the blade with a file!
Your editing is masterful Sir, Bravo
You could make more $$ by wasting our time rambling on or posting normal speed prep, but no, you get right to the point and I rarely need to skip ahead.
Easily one of the most useful channels on YT
I appreciate that!
Big facts!
Project Farm is better than Consumer Reports ! 👍❤️
Wow, thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Consumer Reports sold out years ago. You're the only guy we can trust anymore!

Ingenious testing Todd, your tests offer much more real world results. Keep it up!
@@gpweaver This is exactly it. It's hard to find people who review stuff independently without any financial support because of how expensive doing this stuff can be sometimes. In this case the cost of wood, nails/screws, tools, and bits. And the most expensive stuff, recording equipment and time spent.
Wow, that was a brilliant testing jig. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos to help others make the right buying decisions! A++
Electronicsnmore, thank you very much for the positive comments!
The effort and well thought designs, along with the pretest planning that you put into these tests are outstanding. But then again, you do have a farm.
@@ProjectFarm I'll 2nd that A-PLUS!
The test is flawed. Carbide is incredibly sensitive to blunt slamming, as is what happens when each fastener is cut. That wasnt really wear we saw on the teeth, it was mostly fracturing.
@@edrees3874 I agree, you can see the impact broke the teeth.
Thanks for the test! I was going to pass on the EZ ARC brand but thanks to you I'll give them a try. I considered the Diablo brand too. Plunge cuts are where these tools really shine but I try and cut metal with an angle grinder using a cutoff wheel whenever possible.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
This blades are not very good for cutting metal,use a grinder,hacksaw or reciprocating demolition saw blade and less expensive.
Angle grinders weigh a lot more and many times you don’t have enough room for an angle grinder. Like if you are sistering rafter beams and you need to cut the roofing nails poking through the ceiling. Many many times there just isn’t enough room for an angle grinder or it’s too heavy to use and your only options are a Dremel or an oscillating tool.
@@americafirst2785 Depends where you use it, recip saw and cut off wheel are always cut efficiently, but the tool can't do flush cut and don' have enough space in some area.
This is great. I never cut metal with mine but I find they’re almost useless in wood as soon as you nick metal or concrete. Would love to see this exact test again cutting through 1” hardwood and softwood dowels.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the suggestion.
Add how dull after cutting sheet rock multiple times, make this a series
I don't make a habit of cutting metal except for aluminum or copper, but sometimes you have no choice, and it hurts like hell to spend $15 to cut through a few nails.
@@JB-wq6yi Yeah it's best to avoid doing it if you can, but as I'm sure you know, that's not always an option.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 what's a other option??
PF is honestly on a different level. So easy to follow and tests are straight forward, and fair. Thanks for all the tests.

Thanks!
Consumer Reports vs. Project Farm : No contest... Consumer Reports has nothing over Project Farm!
Todd I hope your channel continues to grow and hope you get as much satisfaction out of doing these
tests as much as the rest of us enjoy the huge benefits.
You should run a couple more ads during your videos. It would be good for you and the your great product!
That's because Project Farm is unbiased and unpaid. Can't say the same for Consumer Reports
Thank you!
@@88SherryLynn Consumer Reports is also unpaid. They do not accept money from advertisers. They stay alive with donations from consumers. Unbiased? Can't prove that one way or another with any reviews.

Project Farm never fails to amaze me by the sheer level of thuroughness and how indepth the tests are.
I would love to see sockets on here. Maybe have a rig with a welded bolt and see how much torque it takes before the socket rounds off the bolt or the socket breaks. I love your videos and have been watching for a long time. Just found out recently you were local when I saw a shatto milk bottle!

Can we just appreciate the amazing quality of this channel and his experiments are. I’ve used his videos to buy at least 3 different items and they’ve all worked great !
Wow, thank you!
Same. I'm moving from Gorilla glue to Titebond III. I also love my Zircon studfinder
I've bought Terex duct tape and A TEMO STEP DRILL BIT
I would love to see a test of the multi-tool blades on clean wood, as well as wood with nails, similar to how you tested reciprocating saw blades! Awesome stuff!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
Can we all just appreciate the effort that he puts into these videos for a second, probs one of the best tool review channels out here

Blades tested:
Putting in my request for a video on "Best Day to Post Best Equipment Videos"
I’m in the minority but work all odd hours and 7 days a week. Sometimes up to work at 10pm sometimes 10am. Truck driver. But am subbed and notifications on. I watch em all buddy.
wow! you did pretty soon the video that I've suggested ❤️❤️
Very good day and hour also in Europe, its 7pm now. I had to double check the calendar, you made me feel like its monday!
Very few of my subscriptions publish on Sundays. So if you do you'll be top of my subscriptions feed every Sunday. That's something anyway.
These blades actually cut through nails more efficiently at slower speeds with less damage caused to the blade. When I’m cutting nails with my fein, I put the speed setting at 1 and can cut dozens of nails with no damage done to the blade.
heat kills hss
Thx. That makes a lot of sense, actually.
I think the heat from the friction might be tempering the steel (removing the hardening)...
at which point it becomes soft steel saw teeth vs hardened steel nail.
(If that's the case; cooling the saw blade in water in between cuts could help too.)
Thanks again!
Definitely going to try this :)
My fein pos speed control took a shit I barely use mine they don't make them like they used to
@@Stevesbe You should be able to order a new part directly from Fein, man.
They should have parts in stock for almost every model power tool they ever manufactured (even ones from decades ago).
I had the same thoughts on the hole saws. Over-cooking the grits. 😀

EZARC = Sold
Milwaukee's blade product manager = Fired 😬
Wrong. Short lasting blade, more sold. Bonus for manager.
@AlexisBubba15 agreed. I’m all Milwaukee. But after using their multi tool blades, went to using imperial blades. Other than that though, Milwaukee has been solid in pretty much everything else. But they are pricey
@AlexisBubba15 That's why competition is the best thing for the consumer. The other companies are forced to step their game up!
@AlexisBubba15 Fan boys are laughable. People who like saving time and money own every color tool.

"Least expensive" "made by DeWalt". Wait, What? Never thought I'd hear those words in the same sentence...
Yea gotta watch some of the inexpensive dewalt choices though...bought a set of impact bits for under $10 at lowes for black friday and they all are corroded as can be, all the ones I haven't even taken out of the box they came in. The Hercules bits I bought actually seemed to maintain their coating pretty well, but the more expensive dewalt bits seem to do great by comparison to their cheap sets.
Pretty common, actually. DeWalt doesn't try too hard to be a premium brand.
@@bassnazi4713 corrosion is a funny thing. You might clean those bits up and they may not corrode from then on. That'd be because of the production of black iron oxide. Which is corrosion resistant itself. There's different kinds of rust. There's the reddish orange stuff and black oxide. But then again you could clean them up and they could get the red cancer too. Check out the iron pillar of Delhi. It is protected by black iron oxide.
That’s because for some reason he used the titanium blade for dewalt instead of the carbide like he did for all the other brands. I think the dewalt carbide is $20
Well the slightly more expensive dewalt blades actually are much better
Another great test. LOVE to see the least expensive beats the overpriced ones. I always look to see if you have tested a tool or accessory before buying it.
Fun fact of the day, oscillating saws were developed to remove casts from broken limbs without cutting the person's arm or leg after it's been healed. That's due to the flexibility of our skin which moves along with the small back and forth movement of the blade of the saw.
Thanks for sharing.
I was one of the first to use it. (had it used on me) I broke my arm as a kid. The doc showed me it would cut the cast, but not his hand. I was still very afraid it was going to cut me.
@@noahway13 that's how I found out about it too in the early 1970s.
@@noahway13 Different type of technology on those dremels vs construction dremels. I personally know 2 guys that nearly lost a finger from a oscillator/ multi tool. I've been bitten a few times, luckily not as severe as theirs.
Haha it is true, my first contact with the oscillating saw was in my teenage days when doctors sawed the helmet from my head after a motorcycle accident. I never was exposed to such a level of noise like that time. The feeling was like you put your head in the jet engine. These were fun times.
Sincerity, enthusiasm, and humility. You remind me that things are not so bad, and that we can get through this. I know it's a product testing video, but it is also a lot more.
Thanks for watching!
Oh. A day early! Made my Sunday!
Thank you very much!
WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE!
Literally the first thing I did after deciding I needed to buy blades was to see whether you had a video. And you did.
You’re a gem, and that’s a fact.
Thanks!
That test rig is f*cking genius
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Todd is a genius!!!
I love how he takes a very scientific approach to his testing. He removes the human factor and it shows true and unbiased test results. I have referred many friends to check these videos out
I wonder if the shock of each drop was a significant contributor to the tooth damage, though. it doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to expect of any cutting tool, other than a chisel. Harder teeth that might otherwise hold up very well to prolonged cutting might get broken from the repeated impacts. I certainly don't slam my reciprocating blades (or any other) into a surface like that.
oi watch your mouth mate!!!!
I see many people talking about the impact the cutter experienced in between the nails. What about another no gap test? No slamming of the cutter teeth.
As always, an excellent job!
Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks so much!
I don't think it was a big factor after seeing so many blades fail on the first drywall screw.
@@ProjectFarm Hey Todd. While I'm sure many people mean well, I understand that you're trying to keep the testing as consistent as possible. Yes, people who use a oscillating tool will move the blade back and forth using as much of the blade as possible to extend blade life. But your testing still gives us an idea of the hardness of each blade and its ability to stand up to the cutting of the hardest typical stuff (nails and drywall screws) we'd use it for.
As for which day, Sundays are a bit better for me and I set your channel for all notifications so I don't miss your new videos.
Thank you a I hope you and your family stay safe and well.

When’s the windshield wiper UV test coming out?? It’s been a year I think
You are right. It'll be ready soon. Thanks again!
Right on. I was actually thinking about getting new wipers yesterday, but then I thought, I should wait until it starts raining because the wipers will probably rot in the meantime. I'm in SoCal, so it might be another month before it rains. As a side note, and maybe a prediction, the best wipers I ever owned were the Motorcraft brand. Lasted 4 years, from Texas storms, through Colorado winters. Finally failed when I got back to SoCal.

You are so welcome!
Don't tell anyone, but I just buy the 50 packs of blades off Amazon for like $40.
I've been using these tools since the MultiMaster came out, and I've found their best use to be cutting drywall.
It's easy to get an accurate, quick, clean hole for switch boxes with them. It's the perfect too for cutting out access holes during a job that are square and easy to patch. Everyone else just takes a sawzall or hammer and makes a giant mess. If the drywall guy is lucky they used a drywall saw and at least cut semi straight lines. With a multimaster and a level you can make perfect holes ready to be patched.
Their second best use isn't much different, cutting holes in cabinets for outlets, like under a sink or in a microwave cabinet.
And cutting off PVC/ABS pipes near the edge, or right up next to a fitting. Mostly when replacing a sinkbase. Cut the pipe off flush with the fitting in the wall then use a fitting reamer to get a nice new hole to start over with.
Very rarely I'll use them for other things. The other day I had to cut some stairway trim flush with the subfloor since I removed a wall it used to bear against. And I used one to cut a half inch of a door header to get a new door to fit in the hole without cutting it down.
They're wonderful tools, but with over 10 years of using one, I never found a need to cut nails or copper pipes with them.
Thanks for sharing.
I used them primarily to cut nails/ screws to remove trim without damaging it, so this is good info,
I like using them for undercutting door trim when installing new floor
Appreciate your attention in trying to remove most of the variables, to produce seemingly unbiased results. Including the prices, manufacturing country, and Bar graphs helps also. Great job!
Cool test. I think manufacturers should make the blades a tad thicker so they handle more heat stress.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback.
But a thicker blade would have to cut through more material
Heat is the last thing you ever have to worry about with tungsten carbide tooling. When steel is a liquid carbide is still solid for thousands of degrees. So the hotter it gets the better carbide cuts. Because only the steel is getting softer.
No sir, study metallurgy.
@@downhilldaddy9346 studying tungsten carbide alloys is pretty involved. The best answer experts can give is test it and see. They might point you in a particular direction but ultimately only results matter.

Thank you very much!
Would love to see a version of this for starlock blades. Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into these videos; you're my first stop when I'm considering a buy.
Thanks for the suggestion.
While I liked this since I use my oscillating blade daily, for the most part I try to avoid the nails. Would love to see this done with wood. Similar style jig but maybe with 1in holes drilled in and use dowel rods or something
I wonder if the tool slamming down into the next nail/screw after the blade heats up is prematurely causing damage to the cutting edge
I use a Bosch oscillatoting multi tool quite often and tend to push or slam into the work. I guess its normal action to use the tool this way. Its possible that this could cause premature wear on the blade and the tool itself.
This was my first thought, especially with the carbide blades since they're much more fragile
@@MrRedAlexander part of the problem lies with tool being very light weight. A user tend to be more forceful when using a light tool to compensate for lack of weight.
When you can't see in demo work it's not uncommon to catch a fastener and while using force go through one not knowing the thickness and the force applied carries into the next fastener
Let the blade do the cutting.
I don't know how you come up with all these perfect ways to test everything fairly but you do everytime and it's awesome! I always have your reviews in my head now when shopping! You are doing a great thing! Thank you!
Thank you very much!

Thanks and you are welcome!
This RUclips channel is by far my favorite. I even watch the tests that I don’t own the tools or products or even pertains to me.
Thanks for watching!
That was some fantastic testing, I was thinking perhaps with the carbide blades. As carbide is very brittle the slamming down into the next screw or nail is not ideal, but it doesn't change the results given the uniform test methodology, they were all subject to the same conditions. Love your work as always!
Thanks!
The amount of hard work and focus you put in these videos with ease just blows my mind every time man .
Thanks for watching!
Nice one PF! Since these blades typically do wear out fast cutting nails and screws, screws being much harder to cut; i think the dremel blade one. But thats just me lol.
Thanks!
*Your test designs are set up really/really well. I've got to hand it to ya.* Well done; *again.*
Thank you very much!
This has got to be one of the best channels on RUclips. Here I am watching this video… again. I could skip to the end and just review the results, but I’m a nerd and enjoy watching the tests. Thanks for the great content PF!

Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoy watching!
This is the best tool testing channel there is. I really love the setups you have in these videos, they easily show the difference between products and they're fun to watch. And even though I wouldn't nee the particular tool I can learn what features to look in tools
Thank you very much!
My take from this is to remove fasteners before trying to shave things. It's hell on blades and them blades ain't cheap.
Thanks for sharing.
TestECull,I agree with you. This just about the worst cutting scenario for an oscillating blade. All the cutting action is focused on a very small proportion of the cutting edge. 1 mm ultra thin grinderette disc would last for ages on these sort of cuts and far less expensive. But as you say, taking the fixings out would be preferable.
Amazon has generic blades in value packs for less than a dollar each. They’re pretty good, if you burn one up just grab another!
I rarely use my dremel for this, I use a grinder and cutting disk, or a reciprocating, saw .
If you're cutting the bottom of floor trim to install flooring removing anything buried in the trim is not practical. And that's what these multi-tools end up doing a lot professionally. It's pretty much all they're good for.
In my ‘world’, whenever I intend to buy a product, I always check your site for your analysis and evaluation. Your work and service to the public is without equal. 🤔👍
This is really cool. Your test setup is very creative and impressive.
I use my buzzer every day on the job and 99.99% of the blades I use are the $2-$3 ones that come in 100 packs. I will sometimes try out expensive ones but I can never justify their cost. I have found the best way to extend their life is by matching the right blade for the cut you're making, control heat, and make sure to not stay in one spot on the blade.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the feedback.
I’ve used every one in this test and went back to the 50-100 packs. I keep some Milwaukee ones for important stuff but I use mine every day as well as none of the expensive ones are worth the increase in cost maybe if I used it once or twice a day. I should mention I only have Milwaukee blades cause they been on sale lately at around 3-4$ a blade buying multi packs.
Buddy this is some of the best content on RUclips! I really enjoy seeing what you come up with as a test rig for different tools or products. Really clever, and I know it takes a lot of time and resources to do this. Good job man. I’m a fan!
Thanks 👍
Thanks so much, I was one of the people who requested this!
Ordering ezarc now, haha!!
Thanks for requesting this video test. You are welcome!
PF is the first place i look to see what tools are good or not. I am always impressed by the attention to detail!
Thanks for the feedback.
Best of your tests so far. This Ezarc will save me a ton of money. If you ever revisit this I would suggest somehow minimizing or cushioning the drop between nails/screws. The drop alone could break teeth especially with the 5 pounds of weight. Maybe in that scenario a different blade will come out on top.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm Another suggestion would be to alternative the positions of the nails left-center-right as to give the blade time to cool off at least a few seconds before hitting the next nail and the next.
I was pretty much looking for this comment, the harder blades materials might be more prone to breaking or chipping due to the impact of the drop. Tricky jig design though to gently engage the blade and then apply pressure like a human would do but without the human 'error' involved.
@@ProjectFarm I think reducing the impact damage could be done by just putting the nails/screws as close together as possible without weakening the track material too much. This will give the tool much less time to pick up speed.
@@ProjectFarm A piece of pink foam board material in front of each nail would absorb the impact, and yet the blade would slice through it quick and easy.
I have one word for this show:FLAWLESS!
Thanks for watching.
Perfect! Just fixing to buy one of these. Thanks brother!
Glad I could help!
Get your blades on amazon! Less than a dollar each, and they get it done.
I literally came over here thinking I'd had a great idea for a video suggestion, then I was like maybe I should search for it... You've done it! Thanks as always you're a legend!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Now this is the review I've been waiting for. Those multi-tool blades aren't cheap. Thanks for all your hard work! 👍
You are welcome!
Let the blade do the work. Let it bounce on the material and never apply pressure. Key to longer lasting blades, I've found.
@@AFriedChicken While this is true, it does still show which brands are more durable overall given the same conditions. So if you use them the way they ought to be used, the winner should still last longer than the rest.
@@mrboojay I can't argue that, sir. If I may suggest, the best one my boss and I have found are straight from Fein Tools' website. We've tried dozens of brands (Amazon, DeWalt, HW store brands, etc) and they're the strongest, longest lasting ones. A good metal-cutting blade was hard to find until we started buying Fein's. Expensive but used right and they'll last you.
Happy cutting, sir!
I agree!! Especially the Milwaukee. I'm glad that I haven't purchased any to this point. You are always enticed by the 20X longer lasting, which we all know is a crock of shit.
i just want to say i love you’re test vids on this stuff i use every day. thank you for doing this consumer testing i really appreciate it, it has helped me buy some things!
Thank you!
Dang, PF flexing on us with that pressure treated lumber.
Thanks for watching!
PT lumber is precious stuff, here in New England the stuff has been like Unobtanium this summer, and you end up scouring 3 or 4 or 5 lumber and hardware stores trying to scrounge what you need and get stuff that isn't all warped and splintery. The contractors are all swamped with work and they are having the same problem finding materials. I bought my own materials for somebody else to build a small balcony porch for me, I had half of what I needed already stashed in the basement, but getting the rest was a nightmare. I hope Project Farm puts those posts to good use, or gives them to some local carpenter, or to a neighbor with a DIY project, for free or at a greatly reduced price. I wouldn't care about the nails or screws in them, I would have used them here, no questions asked.!
I appreciate all that Project Farm does for us! He is a good man.
Thanks!
Great testing as usual! I love the methodologies used, they are simple enough for most to comprehend.
Thank you!
I just can't get enough of these videos. Your videos are such a vital tool to know you are getting your moneys worth on that next trip to the hardware store.
Thanks so much!
You set the bar super high with the quality of your videos. I can just tell there’s heaps of planning and vigilance involved every step of the way.
Thank you very much!
