Good blades, pretty long life as long as you use your saws toe correctly and maximize the use of the whole blade.
Besides breakage, I liked them best for a fine cut in a 2x4 or smaller piece hopefully, like a triangular notch, where they do work fine. The other thing is they aren't even good on metal, even though they're "bi-metal". I do still have some of those 50 lingering, which is surprising, so at least I have something in a pinch, but I expect to use about 3 for any amount of work. The blades were tempered or something and they break so easily. There are also too many teeth and they're too fine, almost like a light duty jigsaw blade. They may have stopped tempering by now. These blades are BS.
The bag was/is great. If they bend, they will break, as opposed to other blades that you can hammer back several times with some authority. I got them because they came with a free bag years ago, and I really just wanted the bag. This blade is suited to cutting a roll of tinfoil in half, which I don't do much. It was a 50 pack of blades. Maybe it was a bad batch, or maybe that was a clearance thing for them to improve these blades. However, this is the one Makita failure anomaly that I've seen, and I really like their skil-saw blades (Diablo just as good tho), and their other blades are good too.
Other than that, look elsewhere.
