Ever see/seen a 2' Sawzall Blade ?

2' Reciprocating Blade - Wishful Thinking Ehe

When I re-pot my potted plants, sometimes I'll root prune the dang thing by cutting off a chunk of the bottom with a Bread Knife or a 30" Bow Saw
A brief look on longer reciprocating blades- 12" seems to be the longest norm....

Anyone ever seen reciprocating blades of longer lengths for clean wood/pruning

That would be flopping all over the place and would bend as soon as it hit something.

Maybe you could make a handle for a pole saw blade? But even those are only around 14-16"

Fein makes a 24". I've never used longer than a 12" and those were hard to control.

24" for wood? I've seen metal cutting blades that long, but couldn't find any for wood

They do make pruning blades... probably only a foot long though.

I use em all the time and burn through a couple a year. Really excellent for yard cleanup after z big storm. Will rip through large branches and small trees without having to pull out a chainsaw.

I just asked someone. Once I looked them up it looks like that is a metal blade. We used some pretty long ones for cutting up railroad ties. I don't know where he got them.

Curious, why doesn't the bow saw solve your need? Seems simpler and faster than getting out the sawzall, attaching the blade, getting out an extension cord or making sure the battery has a charge, and then putting everything away (?)

I can't speak to the OP's situation. I had cut down a Mesquite tree last year with my Sawzall, leaving the stump. I just took care of the stump this morning with the Sawzall. It took less than five minutes to get everything ready and put the equipment away. Much of that time was spent blowing out the motor as I was trimming the base of the trunk close to the dirt.

In other words, it shouldn't take long to gather the necessary stuff and then put them away.

Sure, but cutting a stump out of the ground is very different from trimming the bottom of a potted plant. I absolutely believe in the right tool for the right job, but I don't get it. Unless these plant roots are very woody, and if you can cut them with a bread knife I don't know how that can be, a sawzall seems like overkill to me. A tool you can hold with one hand so you can hold the plant with the other seems like the right and safe way to go, but good luck with it
