Professional Tool Reviews for Pros

Milwaukee Tool expanded its line of carbide-tipped Sawzall reciprocating saw blades, adding several new products. Primarily, they have new Milwaukee Ax Carbide and Wrecker Carbide reciprocating saw blades. They now better handle applications like pruning, cutting nail-embedded wood, metal-cutting, and getting through tough cast iron. Notably, Milwaukee also introduced 12-inch Torch blades with Nitrus Carbide engineered to cut through cast iron.

For pruning and tree work, the Milwaukee Ax Carbide Pruning reciprocating saw blades come optimized for the fastest cuts above and below the dirt. These carbide-tooth blades feature an aggressive 3 TPI (teeth per inch). That makes them super-fast when cutting branches or clean wood and lumber. A low blade profile and an optimized carbide grade let users cut into root balls and remove stumps easily. It also helps them withstand impacts against gravel, sand, and dirt. Obviously, it should also demolish clean dimensional 2x lumber without nails.

Milwaukee Ax Carbide Pruning blades offer up to 50x longer life over standard carbon steel recip blades available today. Milwaukee has 3 lengths available, all of which are offered in 1- or 3-packs.

For general demo work that calls for, well, wrecking stuff, the Milwaukee Wrecker Sawzall blades will fit the bill. Designed for versatility, these blades can tackle anything from clean wood to thick metal.

The Milwaukee Wrecker Sawzall blades feature a Fang Tip design that lets you make faster plunge cuts. These blades feature 6 carbide teeth per inch for quick cutting in just about anything you’ll come across in demolition and remodeling applications.

Again, Milwaukee claims that the Wrecker Carbide blades will last up to 50x longer than standard bi-metal reciprocating saw blades on the market. They’re available in 1-, 3-, and 5-packs.

Two Milwaukee Torch models are available, and both now include 12″ lengths. The Torch with Nitrus Carbide and Torch with Carbide blades carry a 7TPI design to tackle a wide variety of material from black pipe to cast iron.

Milwaukee offers the Torch Carbide and Torch with Nitrus Carbide in 1-, 3-, and 5-packs.

We mentioned the pack configurations of the various Milwaukee Carbide Reciprocating Saw Blade varieties. They’re great for smaller jobs. However, for those that like to buy in bulk, Milwaukee has some 25-packs available as well.
