Diablo Demo Demon
In this Tool Tech review, a new 7-1/4 in. sawblade cuts nail-embedded wood without breaking a sweat.
A normal circular sawblade is not up to the task of cutting in the ridge vent or through nail-embedded wood, but the Diablo Demo Demon 24-tooth demolition blade is right for these applications. It has a 24 teeth in a formulation that the manufacturer claims keep them attached to the blade blank when it’s under stress. The manufacturer also describes the Demo Demon as having a harder carbide formulation that makes it tougher in demanding applications. Watch the video to see Tool Tech host Patrick McCombe check out these promised features by cutting through structural screws embedded in a 4×4 post.

Yes it cut through, but what did the blade look like? If most of its carbide is gone, it will be its last good cut.
That's a sweet old Makita saw Patrick!
Those screws are really hard. That made short work of it.
Went pretty slow for a worm drive. Any carbide blade will do that. The question is, how many times?
This was a blatant saw blade promotion. How much does Diablo pay for this crap? Please stop
I'd be impressed if he went through about 100 screws. There have been Demo blades around for some time. What do those teeth look like now?
