I have used this blade to cut automotive sheet metal and steel steering shafts, both solid and hollow.

It works well and, with the PHS550B driving it, makes short work of jobs that would take much, much longer with a hand saw.

What can I say? It cuts metal. Good deal if all you need is just the metal cutting blade. Stores around me only sell the multi blade pack.

It's not like you have an alternative to buying this product. The blade wears down before it should, but it does work well before it does and if you own a firestorm portable unit this is the only replacement available...from what I can find. I imagine that big box stores would carry this product along with all their other B&D stuff and it would be cheaper, but being a prime member and being lazy, I paid to get this from Amazon. Recommend.

I was pleased to find this (hard to find) item as the Navigator is not one of the more useful tools, though useful at times, and it may even be a discontinued item.

I received the blades fine. I haven't used them to verify quality--they are replacements for a blade used up and I haven't used the tool again yet. (I dulled the old one up cutting roots in the ground--soil isn't very kind to blades!!)

Thank You

I like the concept, but inserting a blade is not very user friendly. If the mounting post is just a very fraction out of position, it becomes impossible. After much trial and error I managed to get the post in the correct position, and then the installation went OK. Maybe a little more emphasis on the technique would solve a lot of the problem.

Cuts metal & 1/4" plexiglass with ease. Was purchased from Grady's Hardware - very quick shipping and well packaged.

the photo shown is the wide wood-cutting blade when the actual item received is the thin stick-like metal cutting blade with smaller teeth.
