Great product!
I’ve been using the AX blade to cut through wood and some tin pipes, I’ve been using it for about a week and it hasn’t dulled a bit! Thank you Milwaukee tools for once again for supporting me and my passions!

          Like Butter
          I loved these very much. I paired these up with the Milwaukee Super Sawzall and they put in WORK! You can feel the quality of the blade in every cut. Highly recommended.

            The Cutter
            This product is great. It cuts like butter. I use these blades at work.

              I buy these regularly.
              Love these blades for cutting PT and other tough lumber. They'll turn away an errant nail or two without a complaint, if you're trying to blast through 6-8 framing nails in one cut, you're going to finish the blade off.

                I had to cut pressure treated 4x4 posts on deck job, all my blades were dull this cut through like butter. Did 7 posts and still has so much life left.

                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.

                  Not great
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this to do a little outdoor project and it really wasn't a great blade. This issue was the dust would get in the blade crevices, so it did not cut nicely at all. This was after cutting one piece of wood, and as you can see it got beat up. I wouldn't recommend this blade. It did the job, but poorly.

                    Works like a charm!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought a house that had an old deck out back. Nails were coming out and I was able to get them out any other way. This was so easy to cut the nails down and prevent someone from getting hurt. It took no effort on my part other than putting the blade where I wanted it to go. Great product. Now on to tackle the front porch!

                      Best saw blade I've ever had!
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sawzall The Ax Carbide Blade is the absolute best blade I have ever used! It is very well made. I love the fact that it can cut through multiple materials, which is such a time saver in my line of work. And the fact that it is still going strong after being used multiple days speaks volumes for how amazing this blade really is.

                        Must have for demolition!
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Milwaukee’s “The Ax” reciprocating saw blade lives up to the quality and performance you’ve come to expect from Milwaukee. This versatile blade is built to power through many different types of construction materials which prevents the user from having to constantly change blades. The blade feels stronger than other blades I’ve used and it didn’t feel like it was going to warp or break when using it. I’ve had a couple other brands of blades that have gotten pinched and warped or snapped when trying to plunge cut but, this blade powers through. All blades have a breaking/warping point but, this blade is stronger thus, less likely to fail. As a lifelong woodworker and currently in the middle of renovating our home, I’ve used a lot of blades and this one is top notch. The carbide teeth power through nail embedded wood as well as concrete board and shingles. The teeth are shaped in a way that adds to their strength and doesn’t affect its ability to perform. I’ve used other blades (meant for nail embedded wood) that will break or dull teeth when hitting nails but, the carbide teeth on “The Ax” didn’t break or dull and it continued to cut quickly and efficiently. The unique tip is perfect for making fast and smooth plunge cuts without a lot of kickback. This is by far the best blade I’ve used and is a must have for demolition/renovation projects. Overall, the quality, versatility and durability of “The Ax” is what you’ve come to expect from Milwaukee. If you’re looking for the best demolition/renovation blade on the market, then grab your “Ax” and get to chopping!

                          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

Only con is that it is a very aggressive tooth blade. Made in 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.
