Sawzall Blade Storage - Any Ideas?

[BBQ&Love]

My ideal Sawzall blade storage container would be a 13" long version of this Dewalt case.

Any ideas? How do you store your Sawzall blades so you can take them with you?

I carry 2 to 7 of the following:

12" Woodcutting All Purpose
9" Woodcutting All Purpose
6" Woodcutting All Purpose

8" 10 TPI
6" 10 TPI

8" 18 TPI
6" 18 TPI

Plus a small assortment of assorted blades.

My sawzall came with a bag that has stitched pockets on the inside... i just put them all in there?

Wrench roll.

 

[Jbullfrog]

Craftsman has a canvas blade roll with blades as a set. I use the storage bin in my Sawzall case.

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

Done several ways. I've used a 19" toolbox where I leave the saw in the bottom, and place the blades in the top tray. This way it doesn't look like a saw case.
Spot in my Milwaukee sawzall case (have three reciprocating saws).
Piece of pipe tube, with caps, to look kinda like a welding rod case.

I use an old Pringles can. Fits all my blades and smells like 'tater chips!

25 pk of Bosch blades come in a rectangular plastic "can" that one end slides over the other I have a few floating around, keep drill bits in one, but I don't use enough recip saw blades to worry about having to keep track of them.

I currently have a small drawer in my tool box with all my blades, cut off wheels and grinding stones. But I've been thinking of using something like this for all my blades.

PVC pipe.

Shower curtain hangers...

When I bought my Sawzall, it didn't come with any kind of a blade kit. There was a Milwaukee rollup blade kit and a Bosch rollup blade kit available on the shelf at the same time. The Bosch kit was a better deal, but I bought the Milwaukee kit because the colors matched my Sawzall & storage box. There's probably a name for this disorder.

I keep them in the box with the sawzall

As do I. My Saw Z All is a 110V Saw Z All. The guys have to make do with a cordless De Walt.

But Colonial Tools had a special on a Milwaukie plastic box with some blades in it. I got 2 of them, and then put more blades in. We use wood and metal blades. I am partial to the 18 tpi for sheet metal and pipe cutting.

I just bought a pack of Morse blades for Dad's saw, and it came with with a clear plasstic storage tube with a screw on cap.

I've seen similar clear plastic storage tubes at Menard's for about $2.

 

[5lima30]

How about a a plastic welding rod case? They're usually 5-6 dollars and are airtight.

 

[Greatbear]

Make your own holders out of PVC pipe.

 

[ibedayank]

something like this is what i use

 

[BBQ&Love]

I am getting there! I have all the 6" blades taken care of. It's a fresh set of blades and I took my old ones to work to use up so that's why they are all shiny and new.

Now if I could only find something this awesome for the 8", 9", and 12" blades.

After all these years of using them professionally I am sick of the jumble and going super organized. It's a sickness. I know.

 

[mdbeck1]

How about an old cigar box? You can partition off a section with posterboard if you need multiple compartments.

...or you could make a box out of wood or steel.


I picked up a couple of blades a while back in a long metal conainer. It's about 10-12 inches long and is just big enough to hold about six blades. I would guess I got it at HD.

 

[Duker]

You have a small fortune (retail value) of blades there...are you getting a deal on those Lenox blades you would want to share with us?

I was at the right time at the right place to pick up a one time bargain.

 

[countrytech]

dunno about your walmart, but at ours in the fishing section they have a row of all kinds of Plano boxes of all sizes and organizational styles. I grabbed one that fits various sawzall blades nicely. They stack nice and are a simple and clean uniform way to hold stuff. very inexpensive too.

My old one with a metal case has a wrench roll type think to put them in. If I was the op I would probably just use a canvas tool roll.

A 4 year old thread. Don't most of you guys just keep them in the box the saw came in?

The non-OCD among us might. Then there's people like me. All sorted, in cases, and labeled. I'll try to remember to post a picture.

 

[BBQ&Love]

And I might add, I use Sawzall blades. I have worn out hundreds and hundreds over the years. But I like them ultra organized at this stage of my life. So they are.

Oh believe me, I have plenty of weird disorders in my life. I just don't think much about my saws all blades. Maybe because I only use them a few times and throw them out. I hate having to "work" with dull blades. What would you call that niche? ADDTUDB? ADD To Use Dull Blades

When I worked construction I threw all my blades in Klein cloth zipper bags. One for Metal, one for wood.

 

[kctyphoon]

how about just a sawzall blade holder??? dewalt and milwaukee both sell them.

 

[boiler7904]

Have a Milwaukee organizer that a set of blades came in. Thinking about getting a short piece of PVC pipe, gluing a cap on one end and friction fitting a cap on the other for longer blades that don't fit the Milwaukee organizer.

 

[Farmall450]

Wrench roll.

That's a good idea. I figured I'd buy a tube type one or something tomorrow -- sick of a bunch of them carded or in plastic bouncing around.

If you could settle for 12-1/2" instead of 13

Not a bad idea -- Farm & Fleet has a lot of different lure boxes like that, which may be an option. Hmmm

 

[davethorik]

I keep my blades loose in the blow molded case with the sawzall, and I desperately need something as it drives me nuts those blades go everywhere in the case any time I carry it anywhere.

I could be wrong but I thought the Milwaukee and Dewalt accessory cases only go up to 9".

Here is what I use for jig saw blades. A 2" diameter face mill plastic tube. I got LUCKY, it is an almost *exact* fit for my Rockwell 348's case!!!

I've been looking for a longer, thinner tube that can hold up to 12" sawzall blades, no luck yet. They throw away tubes like this every day at work.

Guess we'll see this thread again in 2023!

 

[kctyphoon]

PVC pipe.

This

With a cap glued on the bottom (small drainage hole of course) and a screw on clean out top.

Brilliant!
