Festool RS-Sort/5 Sabre Saw Blade Set for RSC 18 5pc

At a Glance: 5-piece sabre saw blade assortment for fast cutting in wood, wood with nails, metal profiles and iron

The Festool RS-Sort/5 Sabre Saw Blade Set is a practical, job-ready blade assortment for the Festool RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw. Instead of carrying one blade type and hoping it survives every task, this set gives users a smart mix of WOOD BASIC, WOOD UNIVERSAL and METAL blades for common site, renovation, installation and demolition work. It includes blades for nail-free wood, wood with nails, general timber cutting, metal profiles and iron, making it an excellent starter or replenishment set for tradesmen who need flexibility on site. Festool’s colour coding makes blade selection quick and easy: yellow for wood machining and blue for metal machining. The universal S-shank also allows quick blade changes on compatible reciprocating saws with an S-shank mount. Neatly arranged in the intended Systainer³ insert, the RS-Sort/5 keeps the right blades protected, visible and ready when the next cut appears.

The Festool RS-Sort/5 is designed to cover the most common reciprocating saw applications in one convenient set. With blades for nail-free wood, nail-embedded wood and metal, it gives users the confidence to tackle rough cutting, dismantling, carpentry preparation, renovation work and site maintenance without constantly searching for the correct blade.
