What makes the M.K. Morse Havoc blade better for demolition than standard wood blades?

Demolition work exposes blades to extreme shocks. The Havoc series is engineered with a massive .062 inch thickness and a 7/8 inch wide body, providing maximum structural rigidity. This allows the blade to absorb severe side-loads and rough feed forces without bending or breaking like thinner profiles.

Can Havoc reciprocating saw blades cut through metal and hidden nails?

Yes. Built with premium bi-metal construction and a reinforced 6 TPI (Teeth Per Inch) tooth design featuring a positive rake angle, Havoc blades are explicitly made to slice through hard framing nails, metal studs, structural composites, and embedded fasteners without stripping teeth.

What is the benefit of the tapered blade body design on Havoc blades?

The tapered profile narrows toward the nose of the blade, which reduces surface friction on initial contact. This geometric styling is highly optimized for fast, controlled plunge cutting directly into walls, roof decks, and enclosed partitions.

What was the M.K. Morse Havoc blade formerly called?

The Havoc demolition blade was previously known in the construction industry as the Morse McRipper. It retains the exact same heavy-duty performance characteristics and rugged bi-metal matrix built for demanding structural rough-ins.

Havoc™

Master the most punishing construction site tear-outs and rough-in tasks with industrial-grade M.K. Morse Havoc™ Demolition reciprocating saw blades. Formerly known as the McRipper, these extreme-duty bi-metal blades are purpose-engineered to survive heavy impacts across roofs, walls, and structural frames. Featuring a rigid .062" thickness and a wide 7/8" blade body, Havoc blades resist bending and buckling while handling extreme plunge feed pressures. The tapered profile provides optimal tracking during aggressive plunge cuts, while the reinforced 6 TPI tooth design with a positive rake angle delivers maximum impact resistance. Custom-packaged in heavy-duty 20-packs, these bi-metal monsters provide lightning-fast cutting performance through all types of wood, composites, metal studs, plaster, lath, and nail-embedded lumber.

Blade Features:

Available in .062" thickness which provides rigidity for more stable cutting in wider cuts.
Available in 7/8" blade for increased rigidity and heavier feed pressure.
Tapered blade body best for pludge cutting.
Straight tooth pitch for fast cutting.
Reinforced, positive rake 6 TPI tooth design is high impact resistance and more aggressive cutting.
Bi-metal construction for long cutting life and heat and wear resistant.

Applications:

General demolition, wood, nail-embedded wood, roofs, walls, metal studs, wallboard, plaster, lath
