RYOBI Multi Tool blade keeps breaking

Why Multi-Tool Blades Break and How to Prevent It

1. Avoid Excessive Pressure
   If you push the tool too hard, blades can snap under pressure. The key to making your multi-tool blades last longer is to let the weight of the tool do the cutting and apply only light, steady pressure.
2. Use the Correct Blade for the Material
   Using the wrong blade increases the risk of breakage. Check the blade tooth profile:
   
   
   • Fine teeth: Suitable for cutting metal.
   • Aggressive teeth: Designed for wood.
      
   Multi-tool blades are intended for plunge cutting and trimming materials such as wood, plasterboard, plastic, and non-ferrous metals.
3. Check Blade Condition
   Worn or damaged blades are more likely to break. Replace blades that show signs of wear or bending.
4. Avoid Twisting or Forcing the Blade
   Keep the blade straight during cutting. Twisting or levering the blade sideways can cause it to snap.
