Great for plaster walls also:
I use these extensively in renovations of older homes with plaster walls. They make a nice clean cut through plaster and lathe, and last a long time. A typical blade will only cut about 18" before the teeth are gone! I also cut cement board for under tile with these. I usually break the blades before the teeth wear out on these.
Like a hot knife through soft butter!:
After going through dozens of jigsaw blades made for wood and/or metal, I finally bought a set of these. Why did I wait so long?!!!!! Arggghhhhh! These blades are amazing. They cut through fiber cement siding like a hot knife through soft butter and didn't dull out like wood or metal blades do. Buy these if you're gonna be cutting fiber cement.
Another must for Hardie Siding:
These blades work great. Don't know why they sell a 2 pack as one can easily do a house with one. I suppose you never know you might break one, but I don't see them wearing out quickly. Great product.
Worth every penny for James Hardie siding:
Blades worked great for siding project. One package enough for 2200 square feet of siding and Hardie trim boards on facia and corners.
