The TCT recip blade that costs less by lasting longer

We didn’t just add a TCT recip range, we reset the benchmark.

Alpha’s bi-metal recip blades have long proven they can meet, and often exceed, the performance of the TCT recip blade market standard. So when we set out to develop our own TCT range, the goal wasn’t simply to add another blade range; it was to raise the bar. The result is a new generation of recip blades designed to deliver a genuine step change in cutting performance, building on a bi-metal range that already outperforms.
INTRODUCING
The Alpha TCT reciprocating saw blade range proven through extensive testing and competitively priced against the market standard.

Where it began

In 2020, the Alpha team set out to develop a better-performing carbide-tooth reciprocating saw blade.
We started by looking closely at the market: what was available, what was working and where the gaps were. We sourced samples from around the world and visited factories in person to understand exactly how these blades were made.
By late 2020, our testing program was underway. Over the next four and a half years, we put hundreds of hours into testing every sample we sourced alongside a wide range of carbide reciprocating saw blades already on the market.
In May 2025, we completed the program with a blade range that delivered the performance we had been working towards.

 

TESTING

Square Tube

The ultimate demolition blade

The Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Metal Reciprocating Blade is made with premium tungsten carbide formulation combined with optimised tooth geometry for reciprocating motion driving faster, cleaner cuts through hard metals. This blade is engineered for structural steel, not just thin section.
Testing found the Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Metal recip blade delivered over 2x the cuts of the nearest like-for-like carbide blade!

 

TESTING

Flat Bar

Steel domination

The Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Metal reciprocating blade is designed to resist chipping, not just wear, and maintains its cutting-edge integrity under load, delivering controlled aggression for longer blade life and more cuts per blade in the toughest steel applications.
The Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Metal recip blade delivered over 2.5x more cuts of the nearest competitor in solid steel!

 

TESTING

Framing Timber / Nails

Exceptional resistance

The Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Wood with Nails Reciprocating Blade is designed to resist chipping rather than brittle failure, it delivers controlled aggression for smoother cutting, reduced blade changes and outstanding performance in the most demanding jobs.
Testing found the Alpha Demolition TCT Destructor Wood with Nails Reciprocating Blade has 56% longer life than the nearest carbide competitor!

 

 

What’s the difference between Bi-metal and TCT?

BI-METAL
BLADES

Combines flexible high-carbon and spring steel body for toughness with high-speed steel (HSS) teeth for hardness and wear resistance.

ALL ROUNDER PERFORMANCE

Flexible and break resistant under vibration

Strong choice across mixed materials

Great for everyday site use

USE FOR:

➤  Mixed demolition and nail-embedded timber

➤  General metal cutting (sheet, pipe, mild steel)

➤  Great value and versatility

TCT
BLADES

Exceptionally hard and heat-resistant tungsten carbide-tipped teeth, designed for very tough and abrasive materials where steel teeth wear quickly.

BUILT FOR EXTREME MATERIALS

Ultimate toughness and lifetime

Cuts where bi-metal struggles on hard metals

High wear resistance on abrasive building materials

USE FOR:

➤  Less downtime on demanding jobs

➤  Maximum durability on abrasive materials

➤  Longer blade life compared to bi-metal blades
