I'm cleaning out a large garage with cardboard boxes everywhere. Many are industrial strength boxes that are either very thick or multiple layers.
After struggling with various knives and even a machete I got frustrated and tried my Harbor Freight reciprocating saw with a brush blade. It worked. No I can cut through a box about as fast as I can move the saw. With one or two people holding and moving the boxes we were able to fly through the boxes in no time at all and bundle them together and tie them in neat stacks to give to our homeless guy that recycles them. We ended up with 25 stacks about 3'x3'x3'.
So, have I discovered something I should have known all along?
