Spare-blade storage

If you use a reciprocating saw, you’ve likely learned these two things: These saws are remarkably useful for certain kinds of tasks; and they are remarkably good at folding a straight sawblade into an L-shape. The last thing I want to do when I’m at the far end of a crawlspace with a bent blade is to climb out and get another one. So I keep one close at hand by tucking it into the rubber boot that protects the nose of the tool, as shown in the drawing.
