About a month ago, I was purging a 4" plus Buckthorn, and the ZETSAW R-210 Pruning blade snapped off in front of the holder of my 20v reciprocating saw... Bummer, said Pooh... Anyways, the R-210 is NOT listed for 14.4v saws and above... It hung in there through some tough cuts, but it's only 0.9mm thick.
The ZETSAW model rated for 14.4v and up is the FINE WOOD & PRUNING R-300 that is 1.2mm thick.
※Designed for over 14.4V
Blade Length : 300mm
Pitch : 3.50mm (7TPI)
Thickness : 1.20mm
The Milwaukee AXE blade is 3TPI and has huge gullets which catch on small Honeysuckle, but once it gets going, it rips anything apart [but it leaves a "fuzzy" edge]. The Japanese toothed blades don't have those big gullets, don't catch on small shoots, and you can even start cutting a Honeysuckle next to the ground without needing the shoe to be in contact. The Japanese blades leave a clean cut which IMHO gives a better chance for consistent herbicide application [cut stump 'n paint].
