    Which blades do people recommend? Mainly for undercutting architrave etc so wood with nails in. Tried a few but just wondering what others use and which ones people have found to be best value. Cheers

    I have been buying cheap ones myself. Not had any branded ones so not sure how they compare.
    The cheap ones don't last long I've found but as they are cheapi just bin it and use the next one

    I use the cheap black ones off ebay, shark , sax ton they are all same cheap and if you hit a nail it's not a big deal, they take longer to cut out arcs and make the tool work harder but for the price they are ok.

    Smart blades from toolstation are near enough fein originals and they are good , £25 for a assortment of 8, cut a lot smoother.

    What number do you have the cutter on. Mine was always on 5 but but it down to 2 now. Takes longer but blades last longer.

    Probably on top whack :) I've got the old fein so I don't even think it's got numbers, them smart blades are good though, I were thinking of buying a jamb saw but never seen them in action, how are they?

    Cheers guys. Thought I'd posted this reply ages ago but didn't seem to work. Sounds like most people just use cheap ones and accept they don't last long, will try turning the tool down to see if that helps with blade life though
