Yup would make a lot of dust for sure but would be very fast. I've seen a hook like blade for oscillating saw for cutting the rock. I've also seen a sheetrock blade for sawzall too made by Milwaukee.

That pruning blade for the sawzall, worked really well. I had considered a circular saw, but figured that it would throw so much chalk dust into the air, everyone would have to wear dust masks.
Razor blade on an old-fashioned utility knife. How come it seems to take forever for one of those to get dull?

I agree, they really are a great tool. And when one edge gets dull, just flip it over and use the other. :thumbsup:
I carry one in a gerber as a money clip.

agreed, or to take it to the next level a shemagh. I always have one in my pack when hiking

Nothing wrong with having both. Shemagh around the neck. Bandana in a pocket.

I think I have a 5 blade holder in my tool box.
Searching for it, here is a ten blade holder, that might work for you.

You're welcome Spin.
I hope you find what you are looking for.
I think the one I have also allows me to place the used blades into the bottom of the unit. That, if true would be particularly helpful, because disposing of used blades can be dangerous, to just throw in the trash. I'll usually put tape around the sharp edges before trashing them. Duct tape, if available, is the best for that.

Knots!
There are a few knots that I use more often than others. The one I use more than any other is known as "The King of Knots!" The Bowline.
It is easy to make, doesn't slip, and no matter how hard you pull on it, it is easy to take apart.

My favourite. I've towed a trsctor with a couple of thise, then undone them without a peep. I still have loops in some ropes that I didn't use bowlines on, from many years back.

Recently found myself making repairs to more chainlink fences than I wanted. Quick! To the rescue - PulJak.
It works great on line repairs, but really shines on corners where there's nothing to secure a winch or come-along.

Wow! A nice specialized tool!
There's nothing like having the right tool for the job eh?
A couple of weeks ago, the swing gate on my hurricane fence wasn't staying closed. The latch was just about reaching the pole it clasped around.
I used a come-along to pull the fence gate and pole closer together. It was a little challenging, because the hooks on the come-along were too small to hook onto either pole.
That tool would have worked nicely.

May father always was extremely fond of having tools, he spent a lot to invest in having the right tool for the right job and when he died I inherited his tools and the right tool can make your day saving you a lot of time and effort and even reduce/eliminate injuries and when I find tools that I can use often enough for cheap on sale or used I often latch onto them. I picked up a come-a-long awhile back that I paid $15 for that costs about $60 normally in stores I think that I haven't used yet and was oogling a port a power type set but that I could have used a few times but it was over $100 and my budget was more like $10 for tools that I didn't need for my job. I also oogle over these huge lines of battery powered tools and such but you can spend $5000 on them sadly most of them I would probably not use often enough to pay for them in time saved. Tools are great to have but also can be very expensive to have for those who aren't rich it is often hard to make do with what you have and wish for what you cannot afford that is why I love this thread as many post cheap and easy solutions to common problems I would say anyone who has read through this thread probably has saved some time and money by the advice given.

My guess is that we are all tool collectors.
While doing any particular job, I find that if a particular tool will make the job easier, I'll buy it (if cost is within reason) and figure that I got the tool for free with the money I saved by doing the job myself, rather than by paying someone to do it for me.
KNOTS:
We all know the story of how the rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back into the hole, in making a bowline.
Here is a video of how I usually make it a little quicker, where with a twist of the wrist, the rabbit is already out of the hole.
This gent shows how to do it around one's body, but that isn't necessary.
Another knot that I often use is the "trucker's hitch"
There are a number of ways to make it. One more elaborate than another, but if you know how to make a slippery half hitch, this method is easy, and the method that I usually use.
