Meet the Diablo Steel Demon 12 in. Carbide Tipped Reciprocating Saw Blade, a purpose-built solution for demanding metal cutting. This carbide-tipped blade is engineered to push through medium metals with less downtime, delivering faster, cleaner cuts when you’re working with steel, conduit, pipe, or other sturdy metal materials. The three-pack in a durable clamshell keeps you prepared for back-to-back projects without interruptions.
What makes this blade stand out
-
Carbide tipped for added durability: The hard carbide tips stay sharp longer than standard steel blades when milling through tougher metals, reducing frequent changes and improving overall productivity.
-
Long-tack capability with 12" length: A full-length blade lets you make deeper cuts in fewer passes, which is especially valuable on long runs through structural metal and piping.
-
Aggressive 10 TPI design: The 10 teeth per inch strike a balance between fast metal removal and controlled, straighter cuts, ideal for medium metals where precision matters.
-
Steel Demon lineage, proven performance: Part of the Steel Demon family, this blade is built to withstand the rigors of metal fabrication, renovation, and heavy-duty DIY tasks.
-
Ready-to-use packaging: Supplied in a clam-shell package with three blades, so you’ll have spare blades on hand for extended projects.

Practical uses and outcomes
Use this blade for straight, clean cuts in medium-density metals. Its carbide tips resist wear when crossing textured or rusty surfaces, helping you maintain cutting efficiency over more workpieces. The 12" length minimizes interruptions on long runs, while the 10 TPI configuration provides steady progress without sacrificing control. The three-pack format ensures you’re never caught mid-project without a spare blade.
Tips for best results
- Start with a steady, straight feed to establish a good kerf and avoid blade deflection.
- Use a compatible reciprocating saw and let the tool do the work—don’t force the blade through metal; maintain a consistent pace.
- Pause to inspect blade wear after heavy cuts, and rotate to a fresh blade from the 3-pack when needed to keep performance optimal.
