Thanks for testing EZARC Titanium bi-metal blade against Diablo CARBIDE blade. As a company specialized on carbide technology, EZARC would appreciate an apple to apple comparison between our carbide blades and Diablo's. BTW, EZARC is not cheap, we just put more energy on the price performance ratio and value creation for the users while the named brands put their money on the marketing story!
I agree, this test is whack. Not only are they different materials made for different things, but one is wide and one is regular width. Both have their place, but it's not really fair to test them head to head. For instance, when he said the wide blade didn't give a flush cut in the nails, it's because the wide sides were hitting.. You can see the burn marks down the sides. Glad to see you guys in here calling this guy out on his BS
Ezarc makes carbide blades too, which would be a better/fairer comparison. So this is not really a fair comparison since the blades are different materials.
I have just seen a few comparisons or carbide on another video, which is why i got here. Seems diablo just blew the other 4 carbides away. I have some metal to cut on a boat and don't want to burn the epoxy paint. I am a diablo advocate now.
I use inexpensive blades because, while they do dull faster than very expensive blades, each time you put on a new cheap one it starts out completely sharp again. Whereas, using a more expensive blade it dulls over time. It never starts out sharp again. If you look at this as a graph of sharpness over time the expensive blade is a long slope down to where it isn't useful anymore. But, the inexpensive blades form a sawtooth shape which starts over and slopes down faster. If you add up the area under the curve a series of sawtooth curves has more area under the curve than a long descent. Area under the curve is equivalent to total sharpness over time which I think of as the value. If a blade costs 4 times as much as another, you still don't get 4x as much sharp time even if you don't throw it away until you have used the equivalent cost in cheaper blades. I use a lot of blades in my fence business and I have stopped buying expensive blades because they are just not worth it in my opinion.
I got a 50 pack of cheap oscillating tool blades, because they're primarily used to cut through sheet rock. I'm also one of the few guys in our company that owns an oscillating tool, so guys are always borrowing it, I don't want to have high priced blades on a tool that others use. That's why I'm happy to have blades that I can throw away and not think twice about it. I have that same M12 oscillating tool too, I absolutely love it!
Got advice from users, get both. Use the Diablo if its a job/time dependant. The cheap ones will do the job but take some time, maybe even more than 1 blade.
Bought the 12V after seeing the comparison video against the 18V model. Glad you stick by your opinions and use the better tool in this blade comparison. I only own 12V and am glad to save $ sticking with compatible batteries. Multi tool is an excellent 1-3" tree limb trimmer btw 😂
Most of the time we are using our multi tool on drywall. The amazon blade is fantastic. At this point it won't cut anything more then sheetrock but its fine for sheetrock.
For me, it’s a mix of drywall and plywood… I have a $2 blades from Amazon and they work great… they wear our slightly faster than the Milwaukee blades but compared to their blade prices, it’s significantly better
I have almost completely stopped using my multitool for nails and screws. The only time I use it is for cutting nails between two pieces of wood. I now use my m18 4.5 inch angle grinder with cheap Harbor freight cutting wheels to get nails, staples and old rusted stripped screws out.
Totally agree using the right tool for the right job but I have a problem with Harbor Freight cutting tools after a grinding wheel blew up in my face. Granted it was about 10 yrs ago but I'm still wary of HF.
I think this also depends where you are in the world / H&S standards, in the UK you need an abrasive wheel 'ticket' to use grinders on site, possibly a 'hot works' one aswell, you won't need that with a multi tool, completely agree with you though. If you have the option choose the right tool
Yes, There are better tools for cutting any material. I consider my oscillating tools as "problem solvers". They get into places and cut flush to surfaces when other tools don't.
An obviously unfair comparison. Why not use the Ezarc carbide ,( around $25.00 for three blades, so still cheap) to compare. Do you compare cobalt drill bits against titanium coated bits? Apples to oranges.
As someone uses Chineseium blades for the most part at home, the times that I bought the Milwaukee/Diablo blades during the holiday sales it truly is a Christmas miracle of a difference...😀
There is a set I buy 50 blades for $32 it literally does everything but cutting nails wrecks it. So I have a couple diablo blades just for the nail cuts but if I want a nice clean cut on a part of the job knowing I paid a$0.60 I swap it out
The inventor of Oscillating maschines is the company "FEIN", establishted 1867 in Germany, producing in Germany. A challange would be intersting, and btw. FEIN has a special "Carbite" saw blade for Metal, Stone, Wood. In our practical uses everybody know how fast a wood blade will be gone if something harder is behind the unknown wall....OK, in Germany this FEIN Carbide Pro BiM-TiN blade is around 32€, but in general maybe the best blade in this section? A comparison between the inventor and other High Level brands, as Milwaukee would be nice. 🙂

This was interesting. As I was watching this, I got the impression, and you kind of gave the impression, that the EZARC blades were holding their own pretty well. Then you got to your conclusion and kind of wrote off the cheaper blades because you're not getting a lot of bang for your buck. But aren't you? These blades are a 6:1 ratio as far as price goes. I understand the point about marring the work piece, which is fair, though I'm not too sure how much of a practical concern that'd be for an oscillating saw. If appearance matters that much, maybe a different tool should be used. Either way, fair point. I think a more accurate test (not accounting for the different blade materials as others have mentioned) would be to run the Diablo until it's dull, then duplicate those cuts with the EXARCS, changing out blades when they dull, until you run through 6 of them. Now, maybe the Diablo out lasts 6 EZARCS, who knows. With the EXARCS, you're still getting at least 6 cuts with fresh, unused teeth. Or imagine a scenario where you accidentally hit something that would immediately ruin either blade. Diablo you're out $30, EZARC you're out $5. I think, generally speaking, if this kind of thing is your 9-5 job, you should probably be using mid-higher end tools and blades. If you're a hobbyist, DIYer etc., you're almost always better off finding the cheapest tools that still get decent reviews. I fall into the latter, and this video sold me on EZARCS. Still, good video and appreciate the info! Thanks!
Diablo makes great blades, and there's no question on that. However, this was not an apples to apples comparison. Ezarc also makes carbide blades. Why not compare one of those against the Diablo. Seams like he was going for a certain angle with this video.
I'm a big fan of the multi purpose DeWalt blades they last me ages like a month or more with a lot of use cutting wood facia and through staples and brad nails,staples things like that . There well worth the money that work pays for them
Unfair comparison..carbide blades are da bomb. As a removator i have ised every blade on the market. I love diablo..however $/cuts Ezarc carbide blades are the best bang for the buck.
You should try Heller (made in Germany) Multi tool blades. They are high quality and not overpriced. Their drill bits are definitely the best I’ve ever tried.
I buy Ezarc blades often. Very good bang for your buck as I'm often cutting into materials that are likely to damage any blade. If I just cut trim / stuff with a needed perfect finish I'd definitely buy the best but generally I can't justify the huge cost difference.

Diablo blades are my favorite across the board. That blade is a beast and I use them everyday. Personally I wish they were about half the cost of what they are, but it is what it is.

To me, this isn't really a question of which blade is ultimately better. I love using my oscillating tool. What pisses me off is that I can frame a whole house with a 20$ carbide circular saw blade but a single 15$ bi-metal oscillating blade will probably get wrecked when modifying a single doorway. ALL brands of these blades SHOULD cost 5$ each for general purpose types(not specialty like diamond). It's almost like all of the manufactures have colluded to set the price at 15$ each(10$ each in a 3-pack)....Dremel, DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc.

You could and would have gotten a closer cut to the wood (8:30) if you had cut the nails going in the opposite direction. The blade was simply following the hard steel at its ramped angle. Cutting in the other direction would allow the blade to follow the same ramp except this time it’s ramped downward keeping the blade tight to the wood. In addition, I noticed you held the multi tool at a different angle using the Diablo blade when compared to the Ezarc, especially when cutting the screws. You had the Diablo blade flush but you angled the tool when using the Ezarc so the back of the blade (heel) was down on the wood but not the teeth. Great care must be taken when doing comparisons between different products or the test doesn’t mean anything. Everything must be equal.
I skimmed through all of the comments, (before mine) and no one mentions cut speed. I ALWAYS slow the speed down on my multi tool when I cut through metal, be it fasteners or sheet metal and my blades last a lot longer. I use the Dremel Carbide blades. For me they work fine and last. I use them professionally as a handyman. Both the blades in the video performed well, but the high cut speed was killing those non carbide blades AND it was taking a toll on the Diablo blades. For the pro it comes down to time and cost. Each has to figure out cost/benefit for tool they buy.

I use the ezarc metal blades for cutting nails off of nail-on boxes because they're pretty good and last a good while and they're cheap. I've found that there are no metal cutting blades that have what I would consider great life. I'd rather use the best cheap blade for the occasions that I cut metals than doing unnecessary damage to a blade I would otherwise like to keep clean for cutting cabinets. Then I use my junky wood cutting/multi-material blades for cutting drywall.

Running a remodel company as well, Diablo blades are the ONLY way to go. Not a surprise to see this. Great blades, expensive, maybe. I would put a Diablo blade up against 4 Milwaukee Titanium (or Other blade) they just are much better made. I was going broke buying the Milwaukee blades.

You will never use an oscillating tool for cutting a 2x4 for people that are not in the trades… now for cutting pvc, sometimes you do since the sawzall/hacksaw or grinder won’t cut it… you will rarely gut a straight cut with an oscillating tool however. But you can get a fairly straight cut with an extended blade or just cut it long enough from wherever the pvc section needs to be replaced and then use a sawzall Oscillating tool mostly comes in clutch for drywall/plywood carving for holes… you can pair it with a 3in cut off tool as well if it’s plywood for a faster cut… but for drywall cutting I’d personally use a my handy drywall router but the oscillating tool is a viable option depending on the space you have and whatever it is you’re trying to do. It can do a lot but what drags it down is that the blades are expensive compared to sawzall, grinder and even 3in cut off tool blades
EZ arc makes a multi-material, and Diablo makes a metal one. General purpose vs metal seems like apples and oranges. I use both, whenever diablo ones are on sale at HD I stock up.

Buy a 50 pack of the cheapest blades you can find. Quantity has a quality of its own. Doing remodeling my crew will run blades into all sorts of abrasive materials even carbide tipped blades get trashed running into high quality screws and plaster concrete ect
I like this video. It was very Informative, was wondering if you have done a video on the red helix hard metal Bits. I would like to know if $26 on a 1/2. Inch drill bit is worth it. Thanks, keep doing what you do.

Thanks to this lightly biased video (lightly because he said cheapest not Apples to apples - still EXTREMELY unfair) I decided to give my money to EZARC and went with the 3pk carbide blades. Let's see how they perform. I would still like to see a rematch of Diablo carbide vs EZARC carbide. I see many commenters also suggested without luck, though
I am torn between the blades. Personally I love the performance of the Diablo and Freud, Milwaukee, even Dewalt. Love carbide blades. Because I'm fussy I like the accuracy of the good blades. Most of my saws have good quality blades on them except when I'm demolishing something. Yet even there the better blades bought on sale saves so much time. I use allot of Milwaukee and Diablo blades. Yet When fencing and cutting deck boards, I have found that a better blade lasts longer, cuts better, but in the end the pressure treating destroys those blades. So then the cheap blades seem prudent. Yet One of my partners saw me cut through a bad angle position but with a good quality Milwaukee blade on The cordless Milwaukee sawsall, I cut through a 4x6 in under a minute and it was buried in the ground. To me that is worth it. My ex business partner now uses the better blades all the time! So if you value your time and lack of body punishment?

I only use the expensive Diablo blades on the more fine projects where cuts will be directly seen. I have had the same 3 pack of Diablo for nearly 3 years. I have used a 32 pack of equivalent Ezarc blades for the same amount of time which I had purchased for less than 1/2 the cost. Since my wife and I bought our 1st home 3 years ago I have been amassing my garage of tools for all the MANY diy jobs since our home was used as a rental property previously (omg, we had no idea how the previous owners always hiring the cheapest handy man could screw simple things up). Most all the things I have found that people do with multitool blades are going to be fully encased or easily covered anyway. So really, this "test" is kind of pointless unless you care more about the brand in your hand than the money in your bank account.
Cleaning out the old van, I came across the container of cheap, Amazon blades I had bought. Just tossed them in the trash, they did not even cut sheetrock well after cutting in 3 or 4 boxed.
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
I am a remodeling contractor too and I feel like there is a place and time to actually have both cheaper blades but still quality like EZARC and the best blade on the market which right now is Diablo. I don't waste my money on the extremely cheap china branded weird named blades cause yes they are crap. One cut and usually they are already done. Got some on Temu for example and total trash.
I really can't see spending more for a saw blade, drill bit, screwdriver bits these are basically throw away items. I understand that maybe the more expensive ones may be a better quality but honestly how many times can they be reused? and would that justify the added expense?
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
For the price exact didn’t do bad. But the point of the video is not to compare apples to apples, it’s to show comparison between expensive vs cheaper to show people each end of the spectrum so people can make an informed decision on what THEY need vs two blades that are practically the same.😊
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
Ezarc also makes carbide blades. From experience they are great. They may not be as up to par with the Diablo but you can get 3carbide for same price as one. So to me a better option.
So what if they cheaper they get the job done. I’ve used the experience ones and had them fail. I buy 100 pack and never run out at the same price of 4 of the name brand ones no brainer. I’ve used Ezarc and turned out to be good using one of the diamond blade ones today on some thick plaster needed to grind it down to the center block worked fantastic.
He's being bias againt ezarc by not using ezarc carbide against diablo carbide, instead using ezarc titanium, intentionally using weaker metal in comparison to promote diablo and make ezact look bad
Not the greatest comparison considering ezarc has arched blades too. If you compared the flat Diablo it would have been a better match up. But other wise awsome video.
Diablo makes great saw blades and they are not the most expensive, but expensive enough to strongly consider the Amazon blades. People using an oscillating tool are not using it on a production line to cut materials hundreds or thousands of times per day. An oscillation tool is a "problem solver" that gets the cut done in hard to reach situations where other tools fail. From your test, it seems highly unlikely that the Diablo blade lives up to its' claim of having the life of 50 standard blades. I could justify a 50% price premium for a Diablo, but not four times the cost. A practical solution would to be to stock your toolbox with the Amazon blades for the majority of cuts through wood, pvc and soft metals and carry one or two Diablo blades for drywall screws or other extremely hard materials. Also note, that worn and damaged blades can be resharpened multiple times with about 5 minutes of work per blade with a Dremel tool and they then perform very well on wood, pvc and other soft materials. As a Handyman/Renovator, I haven't bought a new oscillation blade for almost 5 years.
I am not getting generic stuff from amazon and that I need to depend upon. Harbor freight on the very rarest of occasion but nothing wrong with their products and only getting better. I do prefer Diablo, Milwaukee and Dewalt for nonspecialized-general use accessories. I do go the extra distance for more specialized accessories-fine/custom wood working.
Let's see some more oscillating blades, how about the new Milwaukee nitrus carbide? Those are now supposedly the best of the best you can get in terms of oscillating blades
I got 16 multi material blades for $23.88 on amazon, beats diablo by a long shot. My blade gets slightly dull, I throw it in the trash. Diablo on the other hand I wont throw in the trash but keep cutting with it once it almost fully dull. Is this sponsored by diablo? hmmmm
Without watching the video yet (I will), any blade that burns wood when coupled with a quality tool like a Milwaukee (or Dewalt or similar) is a no go for me. I am of the mindset that you should have some of the lesser quality blades (not the bottom rung blades) for tasks that don't requite the high quality blade, then of course, use the high quality blade when the job demands it. If you are cutting drywall or PVC, for example, you don't need a Diablo all purpose blade.

Just appeared like you didn’t give the Ezarc the same angle of cut. Like you intentionally wanted it to ride up on cutting the screws. Not ragging just appeared biased.
I get Diablo blades from my company and I can’t stand them. They flex when I try to cut straight drywall destroys them. They were good on wood, but not worth the money.
How is this fair test?, you used titanium against carbide? Why not against ezarc carbide? Hope life treats you in the same unfair way so you get the point.

I'm a big fan of the multi purpose DeWalt blades they last me ages like a month or more with a lot of use cutting wood facia and through staples and brad nails,staples things like that . There well worth the money that work pays for them
Unfair comparison..carbide blades are da bomb. As a removator i have ised every blade on the market. I love diablo..however $/cuts Ezarc carbide blades are the best bang for the buck.
You should try Heller (made in Germany) Multi tool blades. They are high quality and not overpriced. Their drill bits are definitely the best I’ve ever tried.
I run the Milwaukee carbide blades, have held up really well
I like these as well. They’re great for nails. I usually use something cheaper for wood or drywall.
I buy Ezarc blades often. Very good bang for your buck as I'm often cutting into materials that are likely to damage any blade. If I just cut trim / stuff with a needed perfect finish I'd definitely buy the best but generally I can't justify the huge cost difference.

Diablo blades are my favorite across the board. That blade is a beast and I use them everyday. Personally I wish they were about half the cost of what they are, but it is what it is.

Love my Bosch/Diablo blades and bits
Get a Milwaukee or dewalt set to store them in.
To me, this isn't really a question of which blade is ultimately better. I love using my oscillating tool. What pisses me off is that I can frame a whole house with a 20$ carbide circular saw blade but a single 15$ bi-metal oscillating blade will probably get wrecked when modifying a single doorway. ALL brands of these blades SHOULD cost 5$ each for general purpose types(not specialty like diamond). It's almost like all of the manufactures have colluded to set the price at 15$ each(10$ each in a 3-pack)....Dremel, DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc.

I use Diablo metal cutting blades on my sawzall. Unreal performance.

Diablo and Milwaukee blades are what I and my guys use daily
Gotta say this test made me disappointed in Milwaukee blades.
I'll probably switch to Diable and buy the cheap Amazon as throw away blades

You could and would have gotten a closer cut to the wood (8:30) if you had cut the nails going in the opposite direction. The blade was simply following the hard steel at its ramped angle. Cutting in the other direction would allow the blade to follow the same ramp except this time it’s ramped downward keeping the blade tight to the wood.
In addition, I noticed you held the multi tool at a different angle using the Diablo blade when compared to the Ezarc, especially when cutting the screws. You had the Diablo blade flush but you angled the tool when using the Ezarc so the back of the blade (heel) was down on the wood but not the teeth. Great care must be taken when doing comparisons between different products or the test doesn’t mean anything. Everything must be equal.
I skimmed through all of the comments, (before mine) and no one mentions cut speed. I ALWAYS slow the speed down on my multi tool when I cut through metal, be it fasteners or sheet metal and my blades last a lot longer. I use the Dremel Carbide blades. For me they work fine and last. I use them professionally as a handyman. Both the blades in the video performed well, but the high cut speed was killing those non carbide blades AND it was taking a toll on the Diablo blades. For the pro it comes down to time and cost. Each has to figure out cost/benefit for tool they buy.
Love those Diablo blades. Always jn my box.

I use the ezarc metal blades for cutting nails off of nail-on boxes because they're pretty good and last a good while and they're cheap. I've found that there are no metal cutting blades that have what I would consider great life. I'd rather use the best cheap blade for the occasions that I cut metals than doing unnecessary damage to a blade I would otherwise like to keep clean for cutting cabinets. Then I use my junky wood cutting/multi-material blades for cutting drywall.
The Milwaukee metal blades are shit! I was cutting a bath faucet off and it took 3!

I like the Diablo blades I always check deals online
Running a remodel company as well, Diablo blades are the ONLY way to go. Not a surprise to see this. Great blades, expensive, maybe. I would put a Diablo blade up against 4 Milwaukee Titanium (or Other blade) they just are much better made. I was going broke buying the Milwaukee blades.
Never had a problem with Diablo blades. Had one on my table saw that lasted for years.

@@DivinityIsPurity Yeah but he's doing that to show a price comparison of a carbide blade verses multiple non carbide blades.
Great test. Thx.
Glad you liked it!
You will never use an oscillating tool for cutting a 2x4 for people that are not in the trades… now for cutting pvc, sometimes you do since the sawzall/hacksaw or grinder won’t cut it… you will rarely gut a straight cut with an oscillating tool however. But you can get a fairly straight cut with an extended blade or just cut it long enough from wherever the pvc section needs to be replaced and then use a sawzall
Oscillating tool mostly comes in clutch for drywall/plywood carving for holes… you can pair it with a 3in cut off tool as well if it’s plywood for a faster cut… but for drywall cutting I’d personally use a my handy drywall router but the oscillating tool is a viable option depending on the space you have and whatever it is you’re trying to do. It can do a lot but what drags it down is that the blades are expensive compared to sawzall, grinder and even 3in cut off tool blades
EZ arc makes a multi-material, and Diablo makes a metal one. General purpose vs metal seems like apples and oranges. I use both, whenever diablo ones are on sale at HD I stock up.

my diablo multitool blades have proven time and time again that they are a league above the cheap competitors. Tooth retention is the best i've seen. Buy once and it will last you a long time.

I keep both on hand. Grandkids get the cheap ones. Diablos are for me.

I recently purchased some Diablo metal cutting blades. I was looking for Ezarc, but couldn't find any Ezark with Starlock. I was able to get a pack of 3 of the Diablo Carbide for about $32.00 from Amazon.

Buy a 50 pack of the cheapest blades you can find. Quantity has a quality of its own. Doing remodeling my crew will run blades into all sorts of abrasive materials even carbide tipped blades get trashed running into high quality screws and plaster concrete ect
I like this video. It was very Informative, was wondering if you have done a video on the red helix hard metal Bits. I would like to know if $26 on a 1/2. Inch drill bit is worth it. Thanks, keep doing what you do.

how much better will these blade cut with a stronger multi tool

Thanks to this lightly biased video (lightly because he said cheapest not Apples to apples - still EXTREMELY unfair) I decided to give my money to EZARC and went with the 3pk carbide blades. Let's see how they perform.
I would still like to see a rematch of Diablo carbide vs EZARC carbide. I see many commenters also suggested without luck, though
I am torn between the blades. Personally I love the performance of the Diablo and Freud, Milwaukee, even Dewalt. Love carbide blades. Because I'm fussy I like the accuracy of the good blades. Most of my saws have good quality blades on them except when I'm demolishing something. Yet even there the better blades bought on sale saves so much time. I use allot of Milwaukee and Diablo blades. Yet When fencing and cutting deck boards, I have found that a better blade lasts longer, cuts better, but in the end the pressure treating destroys those blades. So then the cheap blades seem prudent. Yet One of my partners saw me cut through a bad angle position but with a good quality Milwaukee blade on The cordless Milwaukee sawsall, I cut through a 4x6 in under a minute and it was buried in the ground. To me that is worth it. My ex business partner now uses the better blades all the time! So if you value your time and lack of body punishment?

Noticed you helping to swing the Diablo’s back and forth a bit more than the EZARC seems you hold the EZARC in one place not helping it out as much maybe its just me seeing things .
so diablo on last cut through wood seemed to be smoking a lot as you were cutting
I got a 2 pack of diablos 6 months ago. I still havent got to the second one
Bet you got that awesome $8.48 deal too! 👍🏻

I only use the expensive Diablo blades on the more fine projects where cuts will be directly seen. I have had the same 3 pack of Diablo for nearly 3 years. I have used a 32 pack of equivalent Ezarc blades for the same amount of time which I had purchased for less than 1/2 the cost. Since my wife and I bought our 1st home 3 years ago I have been amassing my garage of tools for all the MANY diy jobs since our home was used as a rental property previously (omg, we had no idea how the previous owners always hiring the cheapest handy man could screw simple things up). Most all the things I have found that people do with multitool blades are going to be fully encased or easily covered anyway. So really, this "test" is kind of pointless unless you care more about the brand in your hand than the money in your bank account.
You bought 32 ezarc blades for half the cost of the 3 Diablo?? Something is off here
Fiberglass panels have been one of the hardest materials on these blades.
Vince enjoys the BOSCH blades
Cleaning out the old van, I came across the container of cheap, Amazon blades I had bought. Just tossed them in the trash, they did not even cut sheetrock well after cutting in 3 or 4 boxed.
Awesome blades on every variety of tools

I am a remodeling contractor too and I feel like there is a place and time to actually have both cheaper blades but still quality like EZARC and the best blade on the market which right now is Diablo. I don't waste my money on the extremely cheap china branded weird named blades cause yes they are crap. One cut and usually they are already done. Got some on Temu for example and total trash.
I really can't see spending more for a saw blade, drill bit, screwdriver bits these are basically throw away items. I understand that maybe the more expensive ones may be a better quality but honestly how many times can they be reused? and would that justify the added expense?

Wait you tested a a diablo carbide blade with a steel ez arc?
Swole Vince...heck yeah!
For the price exact didn’t do bad. But the point of the video is not to compare apples to apples, it’s to show comparison between expensive vs cheaper to show people each end of the spectrum so people can make an informed decision on what THEY need vs two blades that are practically the same.😊

Ezarc also makes carbide blades. From experience they are great. They may not be as up to par with the Diablo but you can get 3carbide for same price as one. So to me a better option.
So what if they cheaper they get the job done.
I’ve used the experience ones and had them fail.
I buy 100 pack and never run out at the same price of 4 of the name brand ones no brainer.
I’ve used Ezarc and turned out to be good using one of the diamond blade ones today on some thick plaster needed to grind it down to the center block worked fantastic.

Not the greatest comparison considering ezarc has arched blades too. If you compared the flat Diablo it would have been a better match up. But other wise awsome video.
Diablo makes great saw blades and they are not the most expensive, but expensive enough to strongly consider the Amazon blades. People using an oscillating tool are not using it on a production line to cut materials hundreds or thousands of times per day. An oscillation tool is a "problem solver" that gets the cut done in hard to reach situations where other tools fail. From your test, it seems highly unlikely that the Diablo blade lives up to its' claim of having the life of 50 standard blades. I could justify a 50% price premium for a Diablo, but not four times the cost. A practical solution would to be to stock your toolbox with the Amazon blades for the majority of cuts through wood, pvc and soft metals and carry one or two Diablo blades for drywall screws or other extremely hard materials. Also note, that worn and damaged blades can be resharpened multiple times with about 5 minutes of work per blade with a Dremel tool and they then perform very well on wood, pvc and other soft materials. As a Handyman/Renovator, I haven't bought a new oscillation blade for almost 5 years.
Ezarch makes carbide tooth blades
For the low low
I am not getting generic stuff from amazon and that I need to depend upon. Harbor freight on the very rarest of occasion but nothing wrong with their products and only getting better. I do prefer Diablo, Milwaukee and Dewalt for nonspecialized-general use accessories. I do go the extra distance for more specialized accessories-fine/custom wood working.
Let's see some more oscillating blades, how about the new Milwaukee nitrus carbide? Those are now supposedly the best of the best you can get in terms of oscillating blades
I got 16 multi material blades for $23.88 on amazon, beats diablo by a long shot. My blade gets slightly dull, I throw it in the trash. Diablo on the other hand I wont throw in the trash but keep cutting with it once it almost fully dull. Is this sponsored by diablo? hmmmm
Use the cheap ones for Sheetrock, plastic and thin wood panels and the expensive one for 2x4’, metal and harder materials…
Without watching the video yet (I will), any blade that burns wood when coupled with a quality tool like a Milwaukee (or Dewalt or similar) is a no go for me. I am of the mindset that you should have some of the lesser quality blades (not the bottom rung blades) for tasks that don't requite the high quality blade, then of course, use the high quality blade when the job demands it. If you are cutting drywall or PVC, for example, you don't need a Diablo all purpose blade.
I like thier circular saw blades😊

Should’ve cut some copper see how it does I try cutting copper and some blade didn’t do well then about a lil better blade it did cut copper better
i think you'll always have time to time good rebate on home depot and even Amazon on Diablo blade to have a couple of them in stock so like that i don't waste time and quality work with cheap blade

I have use the Ezarc Titanium but in Short Time the Blade are broken at the Spot Wendung Points. So i buy this not again
Obviously an unfair matchup.
EZARC dominates price to performance category. Diablo blades here in Canada are very expensive at the big box stores. No thanks.
Vince is jacked
Just appeared like you didn’t give the Ezarc the same angle of cut. Like you intentionally wanted it to ride up on cutting the screws. Not ragging just appeared biased.
WHAT A TOOL !!
Sus how this guy never replied about using EZARC's carbide blade instead of their lesser titanium one.
ive missed this
All the teethesus are intact. Lmfao
That diablo blade looked like it had its teeth rounded and some missing after the drywall screws.
Deberías usar el mismos material en las blades no compares carbide y titanium son diferentes
if at the same price, its diablo all the way! sadly thats not the case everytime
In my experience, once you hit a nail with any brand, you're gonna be looking for a new blade shortly
Deal gone?
I won't ever go back to cheap oscillating blades. Way to much of a headache. Diablo blades are world beaters.
They have the "door ability. "
Why are you cutting wood and PVC with a metal cutting blade???
Diablo vs milwaukee blades
You sound like your from South Jersey
I get Diablo blades from my company and I can’t stand them. They flex when I try to cut straight drywall destroys them. They were good on wood, but not worth the money.
Where is the vid
its not burning it's rubbing the paint off.
Carbide vs titanium coated? You gotto be kidding here
Ezarc blades get really good reviews on youtube.
Deffo not the 'cheapest on amazon.'
Im sure alot of fires have been started with a multi tool
How is this fair test?, you used titanium against carbide? Why not against ezarc carbide? Hope life treats you in the same unfair way so you get the point.
“Teefesses?” What is that?
