GREAT PRICE GREAT BLADE, April 11, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Irwin #14030 7-1/4"24T CarbTip Blade
I was a little skeptical about the preformance of this blade. Mainly because I've never heard of Marathon. I figured for the price what did I have to lose. I was very pleaseantly surprised. It has outlasted some of the premium blades I own.

Never using the blade that comes with the saw again..., January 26, 2005
This review is from: Irwin #14030 7-1/4"24T CarbTip Blade
The blade that came with my circular saw was just steel with a wide kerf (width of blade); no C3 carbide tips and no heat vents. It turns out that the fraction of the blade causes such heat that a normal blade will distort rather qucikly and plain steel will rapidly lose its edge and the wide kerf causes increased waste and lengthens the time the cut takes. This blade's thin kerf drasticaly reduced the time and effort the cut took with the older blade. the carbide tips are very sharp and the vents ensure that the distortion caused by the rapid change in tempture is zilch.
