I don't know if they're the best, but Lenox bi-metal blades are much
better than Starrett. They're also quite a bit more expensive, but
worth it. The best blades I've used were Milford Flexible Rezistors
(sp?), but they haven't been made for years.

The Lenox blades have worked much better for me. The Lenox blades for
the Sawzall also last far longer.
I was at a welding show at a Praxair store where the Lenox rep. cut a
Toyota station wagon in half in about 2 minutes. I checked the blade
when he finished and it was still very sharp.

A Milwaukee Sawzall. A battery operated one, no less.
