    Forrest WW2 blade VS the ones that went on sale

    What is the difference between the WW2 and the ones that went on sale at ACE hardware a year or two ago for a 2 pack for $20?

    Can you be more specific. Are you asking what makes the WW2 worth the expense?

      About the difference between a Lexus and a Geo Metro.

      10:1 in terms of dollars and performance and resharpenability.

      I posted pictures of the 2 side by side you could see the difference in quality.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        The only thing I would add to what Loring has said is "for what". If you want to cut up some pallet wood that might have nails or are cutting framing lumber, then cheap blades might be the way to go. If you are trying to make cabinets or furniture, I do not think you want cheap blades. I haven't used a forest but I've read several reviews and trust Lorings opinion. I have seen no reviews that did not rate the forest at the top.
