A really good Electric Saw for tearing down a cabin?

[mehdis]

Hello!
I'm in the process of tearing down my summer cottage.
I've been using my smaller "Stihl" electric saw, but it feels very sluggish!
I wonder if anyone can recommend a really good electric saw?
The house is made of 5 cm thick timber that was nailed side by side around the entire house. The cladding is also made of 2 cm thick wood. The only material that could otherwise come into contact with the chain is the insulation (10 cm) and nails (!).


I have found some tests online, but they are very old!



I'm not sure what more is needed to facilitate the answer, but feel free to ask questions.
Regards,
Zeta

If you're going to demolish, you should probably use a reciprocating saw, especially if you risk hitting nails as there are blades that can handle this. Many people here on the forum recommend the Makita JR3050T, available here for just under 1500:- including shipping, but if you know you won't use it more in the future, you can buy a cheaper one. The most important thing is to invest in really good blades for it, otherwise it doesn't matter what machine you have.

The blades should be of the "Demolition-type". These can handle nails and smaller fittings.

My advice is that you shouldn't buy one that's too cheap if you're going to tear down an entire cottage. I bought a cheap B&D. It worked fine, but when I sawed into a thicker beam with a nail, it gave up. The gears broke.

I bought a Hitachi instead. What a difference
It works much faster than B&D and with less vibration. Recommended.

I have run the DeWalt demolition blades through kilometers of wood and hundreds of nails without any problems. Recently, I cut through lecablock with the same blade. It was a complete joke. The blade teeth disappeared entirely.

Thanks for all the answers!
I have a reciprocating saw of the type Bosch Tried with it first but it wasn't great!
Maybe I should try other blades too!

I have run mile after mile of wood and hundreds of nails with Dewalt demolition blades without any problem. Just the other day I cut concrete blocks with the same blade. It was a complete joke. The blade's teeth disappeared completely.

I've been looking for such a blade but no one has it!
Can you please tell me where to find it?
Thanks

I run everything with Bosch reciprocating saw blades, available at reasonable prices at Clas Ohlson or Swedol.

K-rauta and Fresks have DW demolition (at least the last time I checked).

It was apparently a small storage that became dinner for a DW here.
