EZARC 802068 Arc Edge Reciprocating Saw Blades, 12-Inch 6 TPI, 3-Pack
Product description
Outdoor cutting jobs call for different approaches: routine pruning is easier to handle with a reciprocating saw blade built for branches than with bulky equipment intended for larger work.
The EZARC 802068 is a 12-inch, 6 TPI pruning blade designed for green, wet, and resinous wood. Its curved edge and chip-clearing tooth design are made for branch and tree trimming.
With three blades in the set, you can keep spares available for ongoing yard work. The universal shank fits many major reciprocating saw brands, with Ryobi excluded from the listed compatibility.
Why it makes sense
Wet wood can load a blade with chips as you cut. EZARC’s U-groove design helps clear that debris, while deep gullets give chips room to move away from the cutting area. These features are intended to reduce buildup and binding in demanding green-wood cuts.
The arc edge meets branches along a curved profile, and the triple-ground offset teeth create multiple cutting angles. Together, these details are designed to reduce friction and support control on thick or uneven limbs. Fleam-ground teeth add an aggressive cutting profile for pruning and tree trimming.
Need a more manageable tool for everyday branch work than a chainsaw setup? This blade turns a compatible reciprocating saw into a pruning tool for fresh, wet, resinous, soft, and dry wood. Customers also describe the blades as sharp and effective for branch cutting, those impressions reflect individual experiences rather than a guaranteed result.
The essentials
- Type: Reciprocating saw pruning blades
- Size: 12 inches
- Tooth count: 6 TPI
- Set: 3 blades
- Cutting capacity: Up to 225 mm

The manufacturer describes the tooth design as offering up to three times the service life of standard wood-cutting blades. That figure is a stated comparison, not a guaranteed lifespan for every cutting task.
Tips for day-to-day use
Match the blade to a compatible reciprocating saw before starting, and use it for wood-cutting tasks such as pruning, trimming limbs, or clearing storm-damaged branches. The 12-inch length and 6 TPI pattern are aimed at substantial branch work, while the U-groove and deep gullets help move chips out of the cut. For a handful of garden branches, a smaller pruning tool may suit the job, for everyday trimming with a reciprocating saw already at hand, this three-blade set offers a purpose-built option. Follow the saw manufacturer’s instructions when installing and operating the blade.
Final verdict
The EZARC 802068 set is suited to homeowners and outdoor maintenance users who want reciprocating saw blades shaped for pruning rather than general-purpose wood cuts. Its 12-inch arc edge, 6 TPI fleam-ground teeth, and chip-clearing U-groove are practical features for working through green or wet branches, and the three-pack keeps replacement blades on hand for continued tree and yard care.
