Vaunt SDS+ Chisel Bits
Vaunt recip blades are built for ripping through the rough stuff on strip-out, first fix and repair work, whether you're cutting wood, metal or mixed materials.
When you're buried in a demo job and keep hitting nails, screws or old pipe, this is where Vaunt earns its keep. Vaunt Circular Saw Blades and Vaunt Jigsaw Blades have their place, but vaunt recip blades are the ones for fast demolition cuts, awkward cuts in situ, and roughing out what needs to come out. From vaunt bi metal recip blades for metal and timber with fixings, to vaunt wood cutting recip blades for clean pull-through in stud, boards and joists, these blades are made for site abuse without constant blade changes. If you're sorting a van stock, a Vaunt Saw Blades range setup with the right vaunt demolition blades and a solid vaunt recip blade set saves time straight away.
What Are Vaunt Reciprocating Saw Blades Used For?
- Stripping out old stud walls, door linings and rotten timber is where vaunt wood cutting recip blades come into their own, especially when you need fast cuts without dragging material back to a bench.
- Cutting through mixed materials on refurb jobs is easier with vaunt demolition blades, where one pass might hit timber, screws, nails and bits of bracket without stopping every minute to swap blades.
- Trimming metal pipe, conduit, threaded rod and light steel sections on site suits vaunt metal recip blades, particularly in tight plant rooms or under floors where grinders are awkward.
- Opening up damaged floors, decking and roof timbers for repair work is a solid use for vaunt recip blades, because the saw body gets into places a circular saw or handsaw simply will not.
- Breaking down bulky waste, pallets and old fittings before loading the skip is a job many lads keep a vaunt recip blade set for, so there is always the right tooth pattern in the van.
Choosing the Right Vaunt Recip Blades
Match the blade to what you are actually cutting, because the wrong tooth pattern will either crawl, snag, or die early.
1. Wood, Metal or Demolition
If you are mainly cutting clean timber, go with vaunt wood cutting recip blades for faster progress and chip clearance. If there is any chance of nails, screws or mixed material in the cut, move straight to vaunt demolition blades or vaunt bi metal recip blades and save yourself wrecking a wood blade in minutes.
2. Blade Length Matters
Do not buy a long blade just because it looks more capable. Shorter blades are easier to control on pipe, conduit and trim work, while longer blades are what you need for deeper timber, pallet breakdown and getting through built-up materials in one pass.
3. TPI Changes the Cut
Lower TPI is the rough-and-ready option for quick demolition cuts in wood and soft material. Higher TPI is better for metal and cleaner cutting, but it will cut slower. If you are bouncing between jobs, a vaunt recip blade set gives you a proper spread instead of making one blade do everything badly.
4. Buy for the Van, Not One Job
If reciprocating saw work is part of your normal week, stock wood, metal and bi metal blades together. It is false economy turning up to a refurb with only coarse timber blades when you know there will be old fixings, brackets and pipe in the way.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Demo crews and strip-out teams rely on vaunt demolition blades for fast tear-out work, especially when they are cutting through timber with hidden fixings and do not want fragile blades slowing the day down.
- Plumbers use vaunt reciprocating saw blades for cutting old copper, plastic waste, brackets and boxing out during refits, usually where access is tight and sparks are best avoided.
- Sparkies keep vaunt metal recip blades handy for tray, conduit, threaded rod and trunking support jobs, particularly on first fix when rough cutting speed matters more than a pretty finish.
- Chippies and general builders reach for vaunt wood cutting recip blades when lifting floors, trimming stud, or cutting out damaged joist ends without pulling half the room apart first.
- Maintenance teams and fitters swear by a vaunt recip blade set because one case covers wood, metal and mixed materials, which is exactly what you need when every callout throws up something different.
The Basics: Understanding Reciprocating Saw Blades
The blade does the real work in a recip saw. Get the tooth pattern and material right, and the cut is quicker, straighter and easier on the tool. Get it wrong, and you will shake the saw about, burn blades out and waste time.
1. Blade Material
Wood blades are built for speed in softer material. Bi metal blades are the better all-round site choice because they cope better with nails, screws and metal contact without giving up straight away.
2. TPI and Cut Speed
TPI means teeth per inch. Fewer teeth gives a faster, rougher cut in timber and demolition work. More teeth gives better control and cleaner cutting in metal, pipe and thinner sections.
3. Length and Reach
A longer blade helps when you need to get through thick timber, sandwich materials or awkward voids. A shorter blade feels steadier and wastes less movement when you are cutting smaller sections close in.
Useful Extras for Vaunt Reciprocating Saw Blades
A few sensible add-ons stop blade swaps, missed cuts and wasted trips back to the van.
1. Blade Storage Cases
Loose recip blades rolling about in the bottom of a tool bag are asking for bent teeth and wasted time. A proper case keeps wood, metal and demolition blades separate so you can grab the right one first time.
2. Mixed Blade Sets
A mixed vaunt recip blade set saves you getting caught out on refurb work where every room throws up something different. One minute it is timber stud, the next it is pipe clips and old screws buried in the cut.
3. Spare Batteries for Cordless Recip Saws
Recip work drains batteries quickly, especially on heavy strip-out. Keep a spare charged or you will be halfway through a floor opening or pallet stack when the saw gives up.
Choose the Right Vaunt Recip Blades for the Job
Use this quick guide to match blade type to the cut in front of you.
| Your Job | Blade Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Fast timber strip-out and pallet breakdown | Vaunt wood cutting recip blades | Coarser tooth pattern for quicker cuts and better chip clearance in wood. |
| Cutting conduit, pipe, threaded rod and light steel | Vaunt metal recip blades | Higher TPI for better control, less snagging and cleaner cuts in metal. |
| Refurb work with hidden nails and mixed materials | Vaunt bi metal recip blades | Tougher blade construction that handles timber with fixings without folding straight away. |
| General site strip-out and awkward in-situ cuts | Vaunt demolition blades | Built for rougher work, mixed materials and repeated abuse on tear-out jobs. |
| Van stock for varied maintenance and callout work | Vaunt recip blade set | Mixed lengths and TPI options so you are covered for wood, metal and demolition tasks. |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying wood blades for demolition work is the classic one. They cut fast until they hit the first hidden screw, then you lose teeth or kill the blade. If fixings are likely, start with vaunt bi metal recip blades.
- Choosing one blade length for every job usually backfires. Blades that are too long flap about on smaller cuts, and blades that are too short will not clear deeper material properly. Match the length to the section you are cutting.
- Ignoring TPI leads to rough cuts or painfully slow progress. Coarse blades are better for fast timber work, while finer teeth suit metal. Pick the wrong one and you either snag, overheat or crawl through the cut.
- Forcing a blunt blade wastes battery and shakes the saw to bits. Once the blade is slowing down, burning or wandering, bin it and fit a fresh one rather than fighting it for another hour.
- Turning up with no mixed stock in the van is asking for hold-ups on refurb jobs. A proper spread of vaunt reciprocating saw blades saves last-minute compromises when the material changes room by room.
Wood Blades vs Bi Metal Blades vs Demolition Blades
Vaunt Wood Cutting Recip Blades
Best when you are cutting clean timber, boards and joists and want speed more than finesse. They are the right choice for straightforward wood, but they are not what you want if old fixings are likely hidden in the cut.
Vaunt Bi Metal Recip Blades
The best all-rounder for trades doing mixed site work. They cope better with timber plus nails, metal contact and tougher materials, so they are often the sensible choice for refurbs and general van stock.
Vaunt Demolition Blades
These are for rough tear-out where speed, toughness and getting material out matter more than a neat edge. If the job is strip-out, salvage or breaking bulky waste down for the skip, this is where they make most sense.
Blade Set Instead of Singles
If your work changes by the hour, a vaunt recip blade set is usually the smarter buy than guessing with singles. It gives you the right tooth pattern and length for each cut instead of making one blade cover every mistake.
Maintenance and Care
Keep Used and New Blades Separate
Do not throw worn blades back in with fresh ones. It sounds obvious, but on site that is how you end up fitting a dead blade twice and wondering why the saw is struggling.
Brush Off Resin and Swarf
After timber or metal work, clear off packed dust, resin and swarf before storing blades. It helps you spot damaged teeth early and stops decent blades being buried in site muck.
Store Them Flat and Dry
Bent recip blades are no good to anyone. Keep them in a case or flat sleeve in the van, away from damp kit, so they do not rust or get twisted under heavier tools.
Replace Blades Before They Fight Back
If a blade starts bouncing, burning or drifting off line, it is spent for that job. Pushing on with a tired blade only slows the cut, drains the battery and puts more strain on the saw.
Check the Saw Clamp Too
Not every cutting issue is the blade. If blades are slipping or sitting crooked, check the saw's blade clamp for packed dust or wear before blaming a fresh blade.

Vaunt Reciprocating Saw Blades FAQs
What reciprocating saw blades does Vaunt make?
Vaunt makes reciprocating saw blades for the jobs most site lads actually face, including wood cutting recip blades, metal recip blades, bi metal recip blades and tougher demolition blades. You can buy singles or go for a vaunt recip blade set if you want mixed options ready in the van.
Are Vaunt recip blades compatible with all brands of reciprocating saw?
In most cases, yes. Vaunt recip blades use the standard shank style found on the vast majority of modern reciprocating saws, so they suit most major brands. Still check your saw if it is an older or specialist model, because that is where odd fittings can catch you out.
What materials can Vaunt recip blades cut?
That depends on the blade type. Vaunt wood cutting recip blades are for timber and board materials, vaunt metal recip blades are for pipe, conduit and steel sections, and vaunt demolition blades or bi metal blades are the safer bet for mixed cuts where wood and hidden fixings are all in the same line.
What TPI options are available in Vaunt recip blades?
Vaunt recip blades come in different TPI options depending on whether the blade is aimed at wood, metal or demolition work. Lower TPI is what you want for faster timber cuts, while higher TPI is better for metal and thinner sections where control matters more than brute speed.
Are Vaunt demolition blades any good for timber with nails in it?
Yes, that is one of the jobs they are there for. If you know the timber has old screws, nails or mixed fixings buried in it, go with vaunt demolition blades or vaunt bi metal recip blades rather than a straight wood blade. They will last better and save constant swapping.
Is it worth buying a vaunt recip blade set instead of individual blades?
If your work changes from job to job, yes. A set makes more sense for builders, maintenance teams and refurb lads because you are covered for wood, metal and rough strip-out without guessing wrong before you leave the yard.
