Maybe everyone is aware of this already, but I found that DeWalt makes T-shank saw blades as well as Bosch. At Home Depot last night, none of the Bosch blades were short enough to fit a closed Surge, but I noticed a pack of DeWalts that did (slightly cheaper too).
 
Bosch sells a 5 pack of blades T500 which has 3 of the 3 inch blades and 2 of the 4 inch. The 4 inch would work in an emergency, you would just be unable to close the tool with the 4 incher attached.
A lot of t shank available from Grainger.Com and industrial supply house. I do believe they are wholesale only. I deal with them on the job so I sometimes get hard to find items thru them.
Lowes or Home Depot or any home supply store usually have t shank.
 
You can find 3 inches blade, but the blade thicknes might give a problem. If you look closely at the blade exchanger, it requires a pretty thick blade.
I still haven't bought the hacksaw blade, but I'll probably buy a pack, cut some handles anf glue them to one blade as to get the proper thickness to get is to hold firmly in the exchanger.

Thanks for bringing out this old thread Lito. I didn't see this one before. Worth checking those alternate T-shank blades out for sure.

As to your question, I once had a SOG Power Plier and with which I cut a 1/2 inch diameter piece of a water pipe i needed to shorten at the time. It took me a while but the SOG hacksaw blade did the job enough.
 
I wonder why Gerber put tungsten carbide saws on their pliers, seeing that these saws are only meant for cutting tiles, concrete and the like. Are there many people out there having the need to saw masonry?

Or are these tungsten carbide saws also capable of cutting metal? Anybody had experience with this?
