It takes standard blades but they are not "straight shank" you can get them wherever you get the "straight shank" type. I like them better. They stay in the saw better.

The proper blade for this is a T-shank blade. I have not tried a straight shank that requires a keeper to slip in the little hole on the jigsaw at the top of the blade. This calls for a T-shank and that's all I've ever used. If you're pricing blades, the DeWalt may be a little pricey so I have stuck with Bosch, they're an excellent blade and work fine. I bought this saw as a bare tool and the nice to have flush cut blade did come with it as well.

The blades I purchased were for a L120. I would say they are OK but not that special. Does not pick up like high lift blades do but do chop up twigs and leaves a little better.

It's the standard 10 blade attached. It doesn't come with any additional blades. You have to order separately.

One difference I know of is that type 2 saws are no longer compatible with DeWalt's laser guide attachment. I bought the Infiniter RS-1 instead and have been happy with it...

I haven't tried yet, but they look very standard. I've seen similar non-Bosch blades at places like Harbor Freight that I'm sure would work fine. They have the same similar shape. When my old blades run out I plan to try the cheaper ones too.

Yes. It accepts all standard recip. saw blades. Example, I bought a "Diablo" blade and it snaps right in. Upon examination at the hardware store, I noticed that the shank of most major brands of reciprocating saw blades is identical, so you should be able to use any standard blade regardless of length.

This Dewalt model takes the proprietary driver and drill bits that have a notched shank. These bits are also available from other manufacturers perhaps under license from Dewalt. The chuck on this drill will not accept bits that are not of the snap-in type, and in particular it will not accept standard twiist drill bits.

The Skil blade is made to fit ALL standard reciprocating saws. Unless your Dewalt saw is a non-standard unit then these blades will fit it just fine. Incidentally, these blades are absolutely fantastic. I use them for trimming trees, cutting up old construction lumber into firewood, and even for cutting holes in sheetrock. The only things these blades do not like to cut is metal nails. They dull quickly when in contact with metal. I am confident you will love these blades. I have six new ones in my garage so that I never run out of these fantastic blades.

Its a different brand...although same manufacturer, its different. Also we base our price off Dewalt's price for us so their's were probably higher for this kit as well.

It comes with the one blade that is on it.. If I remember correctly it is a number 5. Standard blade.

Home Depot sells these so they probably have extra blades. If not, I think any standard jigsaw blade should fit it.

It comes with an adapter most open ended blades will work I love mine and just use the dewalt blades however dewalt doesn't yet make the Japanese saw style blades but Rockwell blades work and they make them

2 blades and they are in a separate baggy in the box from amazon. The saw is not in a retail style box so look carefully for the blades I believe that's why some people think that it didn't come with blades

I installed on an L111. Blades touched. Had to lightly buff the ends of the blades with a grinder. I think it was mostly just the thick epoxy paint they use. They work very well.

Yes. That is why it costs more than the new ones! You can't use the guard for dadoing so Dewalt says don't use it for that, but that is about half of what I use it for all day long. Takes up to 3/4" of blades, but don't ask Dewalt. They will refer you to the legal department.

It works fine with the blade they give you or any other by this B&D.; I too had trouble finding extra blades for it that would fit. There is a screw whole on the bottom that I believe can be used for fitment of other companys blades but do not remember if the corresponding bolt came with or not. It shouldn't be too hard to find one if not. Hope this helps.

That's correct - it is a fixed chuck size. It only accepts SDS+ bits (Bosch, Hilti, DeWalt all manufacture these and you can get them from Amazon and most home improvement stores). The SDS+ design uses a common shaft size, regardless of the gauge of the bit.
