For use with reciprocating saws with 1/2 Inch universal shank systems. The S 1531 L Top for Wood Reciprocating Saw Blade delivers clean, fast cuts for pruning wooden materials. It’s pointed, sharp-ground teeth are ideal for exact pruning results and also prevent damage to plants. Moreover, the blade has a large tooth pitch (5 mm), and large gullets remove material quickly, enabling rapid cutting. Made of HCS (high carbon steel), the reciprocating saw blade is appropriate for pruning greenwood. It has a long length of 240 mm, which enables a cutting capacity of up to 190 mm.

In this pack you get five blades, making them great value. I have always found Bosch accessories such as drill bits and saw blades to be excellent quality. They really do make great saw blades and do it at a very reasonable price too.
