had a small thin palm suddenly start to fall over.. about 5 feet long, so too big for regular trash pickup. bought a new blade for my sawzall and went to work, cutting pieces small enough for pickup.. works like a charm..easy to install into my equipment. I'm old, crippled and not very strong so if I can use this, anybody can.. still trying to get the energy up to cut up the top, but I'll get it done.

Better than the chain saw
When the chain saws failed, this kept going. Took out roots , limbs and the trunk in several sectional cuts. A wire brush between cooling the saw and a light file work every night made it ready to go over a three day tree rip out.

Nope
Save your money and buy something else. I was trying to cut through a 1/2" bolt, didn't even make it a 1/4" and the blade was done. Went back to an old used Lenox to finish the cut. See pictures.

    Go for the BIG GUNS right off.
    I was frustrated trying to saw through a metal fitting on my Model A, so I bought some carbide blades and in 5 minutes I was done.

    Fantastic blade
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this blade for about one month. I’ve used it to cut various metal pipes and it has worked great. I’ve bought other blades in the past and this one cuts through the pipes with ease. I would recommend this blade.

      Great job
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Sawzall Tourch 7TPI 9” blade and it works wonderful. It was very easy to use, you get a nice smooth cut without the blade getting stuck, there’s no pulling or tugging. The blade was nice and sturdy, there wasn’t any bending involved.

        This blade is incredible
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blade is super durable and tough. It makes cutting through drywall and nails super easy. It’s very easy to handle and it works amazing. This is such a high quality blade. Definitely makes my projects super easy to finish. This blade is really powerful.

          Strong sharp blade
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this blade while browsing for blades that would resist bending due to heat. The thin blades that I usually buy just seem to get hot quickly and weaken. I saw this blade and it just screamed robust at me. I had to give it a try, and am glad I did. I used this blade to cut in heat register boot holes in hard dry plywood. One after another it did a great job! Cut right in with precision, none of the usual thin blade wander. The grip in the cut was great and kept the blade right on the stencil lines with ease. Great blade for my rough in needs.

            Durable and capable
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This heavy duty blade can cut through black pipe, angle iron, cast iron, stainless steel and high strength alloys with ease. This product has optimized tooth design for speed and make's it very durable also. I love that this product is made in the USA, as I love to support our own country by buying our own products and this product is high quality! I am so surprised at the strength and durability of this blade and am very happy with it. I highly recommend this blade!

              Great blade
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is really a super blade. I used it with a basic Ryobi sawzall and I went through a copper pipe like it was made of soft butter. Even after cutting the pipe, the teeth of the blade seemed unaltered hinting of a surprising longevity for this blade. I am genuinely surprised at how strong and effective this blade. Good price/quality, highly recommend it. Less

                best blade on the market
                All sawzall blades will break in the area where they slide into the sawzall what makes this milwaukee different is how much longer it last before it does break.My chain saw hasn't run in years. I was clearing some trees out behind our home and using the next best thing to a chain saw, these blades are incredible. I cut for two days pretty much all day long before this one broke. Some of the trees were 8-10 inches in diameter while most were 4-6 inches. The blade never dulled.The diablo blade is not even in the same class. I don't be-leave sawzall blades should break before they get dull but this seems to be the case with all brands. Milwaukee ax is my preference.

                  I put it to the test ; cut 2 10" diameter branches off a tree that was pushing my fence over with a reciprocating battery saw. The cut took longer than a chainsaw would have, but I couldn't have got a chainsaw in the tight fit area I was cutting.. The cuts were smooth and the blade is still cutting quickly. Very impressive.

                  What a beast. These blades will not let you down. For demo work that calls for, well, wrecking stuff, the Milwaukee Wrecker Sawzall blades will do the job! This blade cut through nails and a 2x12 like it was not even there. They last a long time and do not dull quickly. Designed for versatility, these blades can tackle anything from clean wood to thick metal. From Milwaukee's own website: "The Milwaukee Wrecker Sawzall blades feature a Fang Tip design that lets you make faster plunge cuts". And it's true the Fang Tip does bust right through. I will be buying these blades again in the future.

                  I have owned both Sawzall saw and Chain Saw for many years and always used a chain saw to cut down branches. I saw my neighbor using a Sawzall reciprocating saw for cutting big branches and it looked easy to cut . So I decided to try this blade for my sons back yard. He bought a house in August and wanted to clean his back yard of branches going all over. It was so much easier and lighter to use a sawzall. I decided to use both and it made my job so much easier. I recommend this blade.

                  This pruning blade from Milwaukee for reciprocating type Sawzalls wasn't quite twice as long at 12 inches than the one I presently have. Got it thinking I could make short work of some 3 inch to 4 inch trees I had but, the 3 tpi (teeth per inch) was a little too aggressive a cut. It got the job done but was more difficult than my smaller 9 inch blade at 6 tpi.

                  These new carbide tipped sawzall blades are a welcome additition to anyone who owns a Sawzall tool. Mine isn't a dedicated sawzall but a sawzall attachment for my Ridgid multi tool. I don't use that attachmnet very often but when I need a sawzall that attachment comes in very handy although it isnt as powerful as the dedicated sawzall. These 12 inch blades are real handy if you have to trim some big branches if you don't have access to a chainsaw. If you need sawzall blades I would highly recommend these carbide tipped blades as they will last much longer than a regular blade. Almost all your circular saw blades and table saw blades are carbide tipped these days and there is a reason for that. Much greater longevity.

                  These Reciprocating Saw Blades are fantastic ... they make quick work even cutting the toughest materials and are durable. There's a lot of info on the packaging some of which is difficult to see (Photo #1 and #2); the highlights 6", 6 tpi (aggressive cutting), carbide teeth (long life, 50X vs bimetal), and for use on multiple materials (wood w/ nails, PVC, plaster, and metal), and American Made! They're part of what I consider a "family" of blades shown in Photo #3; a close look at the blades shows the characteristics of each and in some instances only a single use ... if in need of any blade from the "family", examine the package closely to ensure proper selection. I would recommend this product.

                  The Milwaukee 12 inch sawzall blade is a quality and durable blade. Thick blade that will resist bending when cutting and the carbinde teeth give the blade that added cutting power. The long blade makes easy work of thick wood, PVC or metal. Nails in wood when doing demo work are no match either. The long blade is great for cutting straight through walls while remodeling. Made in the USA

                  A nice heavy blade to cut branches and small stumps. I enjoyed using the Milwaukee blade and will keep extra in my tool box for spring and fall clean up . I like that the blade snaps into my ryobi tools and it is sturdy. Easy to use and works well for what I need. If you need a wood blade for your receptacle saw this maybe for you . I do recommend Milwaukee blades.

                  This Milwaukee 9 in. 3 TPI Pruning Carbide Teeth Wood Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade was used for cutting limbs on a fallen tree. I used a cordless recip saw, the blade performed very well. It has a tall profile for strength and with the carbide teeth; it seems durable and should last a long time. With 3 teeth per inch, I was surprised how smooth the cut was on the 4”-5” limbs. I did make several cuts on 6" and 7" limbs with no problem! The larger part of the tree is going to be chainsaw worthy! Made in USA.

                  This works as you would expect. The long length is very useful for certain projects. It allows you to cut into a deeper space if necessary. The long length also makes it easier to bend the blade a bit sideways to fit into difficult/tight places and to cut along the edge of an item efficiently. The front tooth design is supposed to make it easier to do a plunge cut. I've not tried that yet. It is too early to tell whether the teeth will last longer than a typical blade. Whether the last two things work out or not, I found the long length of the blade to be useful.

                  This blade came in real handy for cutting branches off the heavier trees . It seems to be a very smooth cutting blade . I used it to cut branches down and to cut them up before chipping them. I used a couple of Ryobi reciprocating saws and didn’t have any problems. It’s very nice to have a great product that works well . Even for a bigger project, it’s very sturdy.

                  Nice saw blade ! Works easily with my ryobi reciprocating saw . It cuts nicely. Easy to use . I used this blade and several others to compare them . The Milwaukee blade was a cleaner cutting blade . The branches were about 4 inches thick . I will be using the wrecker to cut off some more branches soon . I will definitely have to keep a couple in my tool chest.

                  To start with, this Milwaukee 12" blade is advertised as a pruning blade. Well, I just put it to the test. It not only easily cut small branches, it made easy work of taking down a good size dead palm tree. I normally would have used my chain saw, but it was uncooperative and would not start. Wife said the dead tree had to go before the Christmas lights went up. I used the blade in my cordless sawzall and it did the job without a lot of effort, all with the same battery. In the future I will be using this blade and the sawzall a lot more.
