Reciprocating Saw Blade Irwin 156R 300 mm for Wood with Nails, 6 TPI (10504160)

Irwin 156R 300 mm reciprocating saw blade with 6 TPI is designed for cutting wood that contains nails and other embedded fasteners. The blade length and tooth configuration provide balanced cutting speed and durability for demolition and renovation work where timber and metal elements are encountered. It fits standard reciprocating/sabre saws and is intended for repeated use in mixed-material jobs.

Advantages

The blade combines a hardened tooth profile with a durable body to resist wear when encountering metal, reducing the risk of tooth damage and premature dulling. Its 6 TPI tooth pitch offers a compromise between aggressive cutting in wood and controlled cutting when nails or screws are present, enabling smoother progress in demolition tasks. The 300 mm length increases reach and provides improved leverage for thicker sections of timber.

Suitable for

• Demolition of wooden structures containing nails, screws and staples
• Renovation tasks where wood with embedded metal must be removed or cut
• Cutting timber framing, joists and beams with occasional fasteners
• General-purpose rough carpentry and site work requiring mixed-material cutting

Key specifications

• Blade length: 300 mm for extended reach and deeper cuts
• Tooth pitch: 6 TPI (teeth per inch) for balanced cutting of wood with metal
• Material and construction: hardened tooth design for enhanced wear resistance when contacting nails
• Compatibility: suitable for standard reciprocating/sabre saws with common blade shank fittings
• Primary application: cutting wood with embedded metal fasteners during demolition and renovation

How to use

Install the blade in the reciprocating or sabre saw following the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the fastening mechanism is secure. Use steady, controlled strokes and let the blade do the cutting—avoid excessive force that can bend the blade or reduce life span. When cutting through areas with nails or screws, maintain firm control of the saw to minimise vibration and keep a consistent cutting line. Inspect the blade periodically for wear or tooth damage and replace if cutting performance declines.

Usage recommendations

For best results, wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use the blade at recommended speed settings for demolition work. Replace the blade when cutting becomes slow or irregular, and avoid using a damaged blade to prevent poor cuts or tool strain.
