Lenox DIAMOND Double Tang Recip Blade

This new blade from Lenox has a couple of nice features going for it. First, it has a double tang, so you can mount it on your recip saw from either end. The ability to flip the blade doubles the available cutting surface as well as the life of the blade. This doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get exactly twice the life from the blade, but you will get a significantly longer work life. And that means more money stays in your pocket.

Second, the cutting edge consists of industrial diamonds brazed to a narrow blade edge. The diamonds cut like nobodies business, and the narrow blade means a narrower kerf. The result is that you cut faster - there's less material to remove. The blade excels at cutting cast iron, tile, brick, natural stone. In fact, Lenox claims that this new blade will last twice as long as their existing LENOX DIAMOND reciprocating saw blades.

The blades come in 9" and 11" lengths, and are reasonably priced at $19.99 and $23.99 respectively.
