Hello Joshua- No, this particular model does not have the recess. If I were to purchase again, I probably would purchase the model with the recess for better leverage, but not a big deal, as do not use this tool that many times a year.

I bought the 71-22-200 last year, and it does *not* have the notched blades. The description appears to be incorrect.

If you look carefully, it's not single hinged like a set of inexpensive pliers. It can cut up to 10-penny nails. Also,, the angled snipping head helps a lot. However, you will still end up with about 1/8th of an inch of exposed nail after snipping. It's the best one out there (I did extensive research before buying) & is much better then the lighter duty units (I have one of those). It has only one drawback: it cannot cut hardened screws (I know, because I tried).

Joshuaad, There is no recess on these cutters...but they are fantastic anyway!

yes, also m12, Ryobi, And Ridgid. probably more, but no experience with them. these cut way faster/cleaner than the Rockwell and Dremel blades.

Hello Cher, if you wish to order the same blade that came with the Arco kit, you will want blade part # 2179-301 (standard fine); but you may also choose to look at the other '5 in 1' blade options we offer: Diamond Blade #41854-7526; Pro Blade # 41884-7190; Standard coarse blade # 2179-401; or #45 non-adjustable part # 41873-7190. We hope this is helpful in ordering your replacement blade! Please always remember that you can call 1-800-PRO-WAHL with any question you have and our wonderful customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

Mine came with the one shown in the picture. I don't use it though, because you have to press down on what you're cutting, and the pusher gets in the way of that. It's easy to cut the end off of your finger (found out the hard way), so be sure use a piece of wood or something that won't damage the blades. A press block properly fitted to the included pusher would be most useful.

There are different thickness's (kerf width). The blades with fewer teeth tend to be stiffer or thicker (16 TPI vs. 19 TPI). These blades are meant to be flexible and take some use to get proficient with. If you are looking for a stiff (rigid) blade, you may look for a dowel or flush cut or finish hand saw.

Well I don't think it makes a big difference but mine was a pink clipper for my little girl...when I was checking it out I read it came with 3, sizes 10, 7 & a 4 but when I got mine it only had 2 of the blades...so I called & told the lady I read it was suppose to come with the 3 blades & that I only got 2...they sent me my #4 blade within the week :) so I was very happy about them standing behind their product. Thank you Andis Easy Clip a very satisfied customer... Sandy G.

I found this on their site. Looks like a slightly more expensive model for the following bonuses:+Thicker steel stock (.185)+Satin Finish blade+Newly designed longer ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves+Racy new blade shape with longer cutting edge+Added blade spine rasp for notching, filing, and thumb placement+Injection molded glass reinforced handle scored with grip linesIt's also about half an inch longer. A little of that is the blade, most is the handle.

I am not 100% sure, but it may have to do with the "deep notch" one has and the other doesn't. The one with the deep notch will allow you to cut larger gauge material, BUT if you are cutting mostly smaller gauge material all the time such as 15 gauge barbed wire, you may not want the deep notch.

I'm sorry, but I am a bit confused by "little round hole on the side". I'm guessing you're referring to the measuring site guide which should have a plastic viewer with a red line that references the built-in ruler and provides the measurement between the blade and fence (if adjusted correctly). There are elongated holes on the flat side of the fence for the resaw attachments (but they're not little) and then there are two small round holes to access the screws that bind the fence to the sliding/locking piece. If you are missing the plastic disc, I suggest you contact Amazon for an exchange or alternately Rikon at (877)884-5167. I'm sorry, but I am a bit confused by "little round hole on the side".

Hi, sorry took so long to get back to you, electric went out last night. I checked blades and they have a notch on ends of blade and 3 holes. No groves.

Bill, Guess the question is do you own this tool. If not, I would look at a cheap, but great, metal cutting tool from HF. Plenty of inexpensive metal cutting blades. If you have or need this particular tool and cannot find the blade, call RotoZip customer service. They are nice people. Personally as expressed in my other review, of all the tools I own, this is the most worthless. Fixed depth, vacuum worthless, difficult to guide freehand. Good Luck

No notches, but if you just use it in either extreme short or long it stays in place as good or better than if it did have notches. Does that make sense? I was concerned about that too, but I only use the two positions and can easily cut good fades with it with one hand, and no worry about it slipping out of desired position.

I've tried all the readily available brands of blades and see no noticeable difference in their life. Avoiding forcing the blade with too much pressure helps avoid overheating the blades and of course, avoiding nails with wood cutting blades also helps. To get more speed, try a courser blade instead of excessive pressure and remember that this tool is intended to make cuts in places where access is an issue. Use it only where it's necessary and use a more conventional saw where you can. Finally, this Bosch tool is a higher end product that I've feel is worth the higher price for the additional durability and balance. Their may be better value vibratory saw out there, but the bargain priced power tools I've tried have turned out to be throw-aways after just a few jobs.

I agree that the slide action is less than perfectly smooth but I think it's a great saw in most other aspects and don't see the slide action as a problem. I really don't know why DeWalt has this issue but it doesn't affect my use of the saw. The ability to cut WIDE material is a great trade off. If you're cutting 2x4, 2x6 or moldings, the slide isn't used anyway. Also, after using the saw for a while you probably won't notice the slide action.The shadow light is also less than "perfect" but once you get used to using that you can literally split a pencil line with the blade.

The segmented cutter heads are better then straight blades for a few reasons. First segmented and offset they leave a smother surface on more figured wood (practically no tear out). Second if you nick a nail all you have to do is rotate the segment and move on instead of having to change all of the straight blades. Also I believe that the segmented heads are quieter (however I have never owned any other planer).

It has a smaller shank. I used it in my 3/8" drill chuck. I got them to use on a cast iron sink and they worked great. I have since used them for many other projects. They still look new and are staying sharp so far.
