I was very dissappointed in the blade. I used it to cut some dead limbs and it cut really slow and not very large limbs either. I would hate to think how long it would take to cut a 2x4. I guess it would be alright for really soft wood or really small limbs and not oak and as long as you are not in a hurry. I would not recomend this blade save your money and use it to buy a good wood saw.
