(53,300 posts)21. Such a reciprocating saw blade is not a DIY project
I recall the sordid tale of a moran who viewed this tool online and decided, "I can make one of those!" He attached a dildo to a Sawzall blade using a method the story didn't explain - they probably didn't want anyone to try it himself. Unfortunately, the stupid shit didn't grind the teeth off before he made it, and the first time they tried it the teeth sawed their way through the dildo with predictable results.
