These blades don't work any better or cut any faster than any reciprocating blades for wood cutting, which is exactly what these are. They are much more flexible than my old blade, which I don't consider to be a benefit. They are not special pruning blades, as the description suggests.
These blades are Awesome. I will purchase more. Just watch your fingers cause they are real sharp. Great for demo work.
Otherwise, the blade gets really hot, smokes and I would imagine hurts any tempering the blade may have started with. Since none of the branches have a diameter greater than 5 inches I thought they would work. I purchased "Skil 94100-05 Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blades" specifically to use in pruning a flowering pear and a couple live oak trees. Turns out I was right, they were able to walk through the limbs fairly well IF I supplied pressure to the branch to widen the kerf as I cut. They get the job done, but they could be improved. The teeth need to be offset from each other to widen the cut as you go.
This multi pack from Amazon is the same price for (1) blade at my local chain store. These blades work great for everyday yard work.
They rip right through them. I bought a 18v reciprocating saw and use these blades. I don't like to pull out the gas chainsaw out for small jobs. They go through small trees with ease. No mess no fuss. I have used them on small trees with up to an 6 inch diameter.
