00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.133
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.133 --> 00:00:04.545
Freedom. These are my DEWALT D W

00:00:04.565 --> 00:00:07.726
forty-eight ninety-two reciprocating-saw blades.

00:00:07.813 --> 00:00:10.458
Two metal-cutting blades broke during an awkward

00:00:10.458 --> 00:00:13.189
heater-floor opening, but my overall experience with

00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:14.832
this assortment was still positive.

00:00:14.981 --> 00:00:16.496
Those two parts of my review explain

00:00:16.645 --> 00:00:18.053
where it worked for me and where

00:00:18.053 --> 00:00:19.385
the job got frustrating.

00:00:19.521 --> 00:00:22.913
DEWALT identifies the D W forty-eight ninety-two

00:00:22.934 --> 00:00:26.646
as a twelve-piece bi-metal reciprocating-saw blade set

00:00:26.646 --> 00:00:28.503
with a telescoping storage case.

00:00:28.694 --> 00:00:30.870
The assortment includes different blade shapes and

00:00:30.870 --> 00:00:33.034
sizes for different cutting tasks.

00:00:33.191 --> 00:00:35.324
The matching set picture and current Amazon

00:00:35.324 --> 00:00:36.946
buying link are on my full review

00:00:36.946 --> 00:00:39.249
page below. I used these blades with

00:00:39.249 --> 00:00:41.297
my DEWALT D C S three-eighty B

00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:43.004
reciprocating saw for tougher,

00:00:43.004 --> 00:00:45.138
thicker cuts that my jigsaw could not

00:00:45.138 --> 00:00:47.649
handle. That included cutting the van siding

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:49.270
for my bed-capsule openings.

00:00:49.334 --> 00:00:51.040
The saw drives a straight blade back

00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:53.174
and forth; the matching tool picture keeps

00:00:53.174 --> 00:00:55.264
the powered saw separate from the replacement

00:00:55.264 --> 00:00:58.571
blades. The floor-opening photographs show one specific,

00:00:58.571 --> 00:01:00.854
awkward job beneath the passenger seat.

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.774
I marked around the heater mounting plate

00:01:02.794 --> 00:01:04.651
and drilled the initial cutting access.

00:01:04.885 --> 00:01:06.848
Two of the metal-cutting blades broke during

00:01:06.848 --> 00:01:09.319
that floor cut. Completing the opening involved

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:11.388
more than the reciprocating saw alone,

00:01:11.430 --> 00:01:13.842
and the breakages added to the frustration.

00:01:13.948 --> 00:01:16.352
The finished opening still needed surface work.

00:01:16.451 --> 00:01:19.309
I sanded, primed and painted after removing

00:01:19.309 --> 00:01:21.400
the metal, then offered up the heater.

00:01:21.570 --> 00:01:23.192
My photographs show the saw at the

00:01:23.192 --> 00:01:25.325
marked floor and the opening after the

00:01:25.325 --> 00:01:27.064
cutting and finishing stages.

00:01:27.307 --> 00:01:29.420
The sequence diagram separates marking,

00:01:29.441 --> 00:01:31.873
starter access, cutting and finishing so the

00:01:31.873 --> 00:01:34.603
result is understandable. My broader review calls

00:01:34.603 --> 00:01:36.887
these high-quality blades, and I would recommend

00:01:36.993 --> 00:01:39.456
them. A few bent under heavy use.

00:01:39.572 --> 00:01:40.938
I could bend them back and keep

00:01:40.938 --> 00:01:42.752
cutting, although they would never be perfectly

00:01:42.815 --> 00:01:46.224
straight again. That overall recommendation belongs alongside

00:01:46.224 --> 00:01:47.973
the two breakages recorded in the floor

00:01:47.973 --> 00:01:50.405
job, rather than letting either part erase

00:01:50.405 --> 00:01:52.655
the other. My page compares the Bosch

00:01:52.655 --> 00:01:54.532
R A P seven P K mixed

00:01:54.532 --> 00:01:57.818
assortment and the Diablo D S zero-zero-fourteen

00:01:57.818 --> 00:01:59.994
S bi-metal set. The Bosch is another

00:01:59.994 --> 00:02:02.639
mixed blade selection; the Diablo assortment includes

00:02:02.639 --> 00:02:04.419
six-inch and nine-inch blades.

00:02:04.576 --> 00:02:06.753
Those matching pictures help compare length,

00:02:06.795 --> 00:02:09.654
material and assortment. They are researched buying

00:02:09.654 --> 00:02:11.915
alternatives, not two extra sets I am

00:02:11.915 --> 00:02:13.259
claiming to have used.

00:02:13.451 --> 00:02:15.371
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:02:15.371 --> 00:02:17.819
Camper Van Freedom. We covered my DEWALT

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:19.911
D W forty-eight ninety-two blades,

00:02:19.995 --> 00:02:22.171
the floor-cut breakages and why I still

00:02:22.171 --> 00:02:23.685
recommended the set overall.

00:02:23.875 --> 00:02:26.394
My full review, actual build pictures,

00:02:26.521 --> 00:02:29.636

00:02:31.342 --> 00:02:32.416
Until next time.
