[Shop-talk] Sawzall blades

[Jim Stone]

I have successfully used my reciprocating saw to prune trees and even cut down
some small ones with it.  The blade is more likely to bind when cutting live
wood, but it does work.  It helps to spray it with some kind of lubricating
spray when you aren't worried about killing the tree.  I have not tried the
demolition blades in your link, but am fairly certain you can buy blades made
for the task.
