Ive cut a lot of nails my time but the nails in a 10 x 20

Shed im taking down are resisting my sawsall blades

Ive tried 3 different blades

These nails must be hardened steel

What blades are the best for tough nails

18tpi bosch are what I just bought and I returned more brand 18tpi

You may have to use an angle grinder. I'm not an expert.

Carbide blade?

If its nailed together, pry it apart, pound/pull the nails and straighten them for reuse.

That's what my dad and grandpa made me do.

A diamond steel sawsall blade
Not cheap, but will do the job

Everybody is in a hurry nowadays,that wont cut the mustard anymore.

The nails are too long to pry apart


I can cut one side and pry the other end on some

But I need to cut most

I thought you were referring to toe nails. I once knew a guy whose toe nails were so thick, he had to use a pair of electricians wire cutters to cut his toe nails. He bought some heavy duty nail clippers and broke them trying to cut his toe nails.

Try this one.

I just returned 5 metal morse blades to menards
But they werent carbide or diamond tipped

Ill run in to the hardware store in pine later

Guess I should have made this post before driving 58 miles round trip

He could have filed them to points to help him climb trees.

Do they last?

Like $20 per shed would be ok

If I was at home I could take a picture of one that has cut a minivan and a bunch of angle iron
And it still cuts

I might get one tonight at Ace

Tried alot in my line of work, even a diamond grit from Lenox, now won't buy anything but diablo automotive dismantling.

Diablo makes decent blades.

Can you get air compressor close. Maybe try an air hammer with good chisel blades. Sounds like good pole barn nails. They are hard but brittle. Try air tools.

Another thing that helps is to slow the speed down on the saw, have cut a lot of deck lags with regular blade that way. High speed just burns the blade up on hard material.

You betcha, pole barn nails, I’ve seen that movie. Lol
