Very helpful. Thanks for that.

What about saw blades 200 inch and up?

Easily done. Use the hold it out in front of you method. I have never coiled
one much smaller than 200".

The ones I use at work are 16' and 16'10", and the technique is the
same. The only difference is that you really need to use two hands
when twisting them to make sure it's under control. Grasp the blade
on either side at about shoulder height. Once it's coiled, grab the
top loosely and give it a couple of shakes to even out the coil, then
wrap a bit of duct tape or a twist tie around it.

Uncoiling them is the only thing is that is a bit different- I know
the blades for my little saw at home say that the blade can be
uncoiled by dropping it on the floor, but a big blade is liable to rip
you up if you do that. Have to uncoil those carefully, and keep them
under control.
