Cuts Conduit Like Butter!
Nitrus carbide cutting tools are the strongest and longest lasting I have used over the years. These Milwaukee Sawsall blades are engineered to cut through just about any material you can think of. I tried these blades on wood, nails, sheet metal, electrical conduit, PVC and aluminum tubing with excellent results on all materials. There are 5 blades to a pack, 6 inches in length and will fit any standard reciprocating saw requiring the standard 1/2" mounting tang. In my opinion, they are well worth the money.

Great sawzall blades
These sawzall blades are great. They hold up to a lot of abuse and still stay straight. I used these blades to cut lumber and metal bolts. The blades cut great before and after cutting metal bolts, kept cutting like it wasn’t any problem. These blades easily cut notches out of the lumber to make my project easier. After many cuts and much use, these blades still have a great cutting edge to them.

Great sawzall blades
I got these blades because I had a project that I wasn’t able to use any other type of saw to cut my lumber. I also had to cut some metal bolts. These blades are solid, they hold up to a lot of abuse during use. I had to cut some 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber for this project, these blades cut a straight line and never bent of flinched during use. At one point after making several cuts on the lumber, I had to cut some bolts off and these blades cut through the bolts like butter and then continued to cut the lumber like it was nothing.

Milwaukee Wrecker saw blades live up to their name!
One of the things many of us use a reciprocating saw for is demolition work. I decided to see if these blades can really handle most anything they come up against; Short answer: they exceeded my expectations cutting cleanly thru deck screws imbedded in a 2x4 or a heavy weight piece of steel. Teh blade cut cleanly and did not dull noticeably. I used my 30-year-old Milwaukee Sawzall for the test. The only issue I had was getting the cut started on steel with the foot on the piece I was trying to cut but once I pulled the saw back a little there was no issue. Cuts were surprisingly clean and straight. Cutting thru the 2x4 with imbedded deck screw was no issue at all. I don't think you can go wrong with these blades. They do the job and hold up well.

Superior cutting
This Milwaukee 6 in. 6 Teeth Per Inch WRECKER Nitrus Carbide Teeth Multi-Material Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade (3-Pack) is my favorite cutting blade! It's really durable and able to cut through a variety of materials. So far, I've used it on wood branches, nails, and PVC tubing. Cuts fast and the teeth don't wear down. I'm really impressed with the quality of these blades. They also happen to be UNIVERSAL, in that they will fit tools by other manufacturers (my reciprocating saw is a Milwaukee, but my pruning saw is a Ryobi and these blades fit both. I wouldn't trust my projects with any other brand, these are by far, superior.

Wicked SawzAll blade!
Wicked blade for demolition work with reciprocating saws! Also holds-up very well sawing roots. My yard is old woods. We cleared the trees but the old roots are still there and snag the lawnmower. I use Milwaukee's Pruning blade for quick work on branches, but sharp hard steel quickly loses its edge in dirt. I have used Milwaukee's Carbide, AX, and TORCH blades. These carbide-derived teeth don't go dull the instant they hit nails, screws, dirt, or rocks. Now comes WRECKER! While obviously aimed at building renovation work, I loaded my saw and took it out in the yard. First note: this blade is wide! It nicks the foot-holder on my (older Ryobi) saw. I worked the stroke by hand and decided to risk bind-up. Actually the blade made its own clearance without any tooth damage or bind-up. Out in the root-infested yard: this is not a great wood-saw but does cut wood good and is hardly harmed by dirt and rocks. Small rocks pop right up. I cleared many feet of tough root in a few minutes, and the blade had lots of life left.

Good for Demolition Work
Milwaukee 9 inch Reciprocating Saw Blades. Set of three blades, all the same. Multi-purpose use, good for wood, plastics and wood with screws. Very little vibration when cutting through wood. 9 inches is a nice length for demolition work but these blades are avaiable in other lengths. They fit into my Skil reciprocating saw. I'll use mine for tree trimming and rough cutting wood.

Strong & Durable
These 9 inch, 6 teeth per inch carbide Sawzall blades cut through nails like butter. I’ve also used them to cut through bamboo culms that were deep in sandy soil and they held up well to the harsh and grinding characteristics of sand that have quickly dulled other non-carbide blades. They are substantially made with a thick blade and fit securely in my reciprocating saw. They come 3 to a pack which is enough to complete most renovation projects.

Super Multi Material Blades
The Milwaukee 9 in.WRECKER Nitrus Carbide Teeth Multi-Material Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade have 6 Teeth Per Inch and comes in a 5-Pack. These are super strong and longer (9 inch) compared to the standard blades. They are also thicker for extra stability. I don’t do a lot of heavy cutting so didn’t test on solid metal but did cut thru thick aluminum shelving with no problems. I also cut palm fronds off trees as it’s easier to handle than chain saw or hand saw. Multi blade is 2 x stronger 5G an traditional blade and has got to last longer.

Great Blades
You can't go wrong with this set of multi - purpose saw blades from Milwaukee Tools. Tough as nails and they will cut thru most materials like aluminum, wood and plastics with very little difficulty. I found they also have good rigidity to avoid breakage from side pressure too. Fits most forms and makes of saw zaws that are currently on the market..

Did Not like
I first tried this blade on a small steel pipe. It took a while to get through but then did not progress much further. Before writing my review, I went to my son's house and cut down some of his tree branches. I figured it would cut through the smaller branches but again I had a problem. When I used a larger blade on both the pipe and branches, I had no problems. Maybe it is the small size. I am using a Milwaukee sawzall which works great.

Blade works great for my needs. Used it on nails, 2x and pruning
I used this blade for several applications and it worked well for each one. I used this for some demo work and pruning branches around my yard. Most of the branches were about 2 inches thick and as expected this handled them with ease. I was able to cut through a rusty nail that was embedded in a piece of 2x with ease.After about repeated of on again off again use I do not see any issues with the work material starting to warp the teeth which is good.

Aptly Named Nitrus Carbide Multi-Material Recip Blade for Demolition
A close friend lost his roof (and the tops of the stud walls) to a fire caused by fireworks. A bunch of us got together and demolished the house clean down to the mud sills on the bottom of the stud walls so he could start over. The project involved a lot of blind or nearly blind cutting through the wall coverings, the studs, and whatever was in the walls. (We knocked a lot of holes wherever we suspected a pipe or electrical conduit was in the wall before cutting.) The Milwaukee Wrecker Multi-Material Recip Blade was designed for such demolition projects. It will cut through most anything typically hidden behind the gypsum--wood with nails, deck screws, plaster, black pipe/cast iron, metal, rigid conduit, pvc and roofing material. The Nitrus Carbide (designer carbide formulated to distribute heat and prolong the effective life of the cutting teeth) works like a charm. I purposely bunged up the end of a 4x4 post with a bunch of nails and screws and cut right through them. I didn't even feel the 16 gauge finish nails. It was like they weren't there. I did feel the #8 construction screws, but only just. The tip has a special "Fang" design that actually worked--I didn't notice any slowdown when plunging my blade into the wood. Awesome 6" blade. I'll have to get the 9" and 12" versions!

Tough blade
I've used lots of sawzall blades and from experience found Milwaukee blades the best value of all. If a tool cost twice as much as a similar tool, but is 10 times better its a good value. This blade is a 6 inch with 6 teeth per inch. This would be suitable for fast rough cuts. They blade material is tough enough for any common material. I cut a 2 inch pipe and the blade was still sharp, only the paint on the blade was scuffed.

Strong durable and made in the USA
The Milwaukee WRECKER Nitrus Carbide Teeth Multi-Material Cutting SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade is the tool you need if you are looking for a long-lasting blade for your Sawzall. I had previously used the regular carbide tooth wrecker blade and that went through everything I could throw at in in home renovation work. I am not a pro contractor, so I use this for everything to take down walls, bathrooms, etc. The nitrus carbide blade promises to extend the life span which is hard to believe after using the carbide blades in the past. The wrecker blades really do the job. I have used 12-inch blades in the past but the 6 inch is nice to have so there is not as much vibration and bounce when you are working on something that is not as deep. Best of all it is made in the USA!!

Good quality blade
We ordered this blade for our reciprocating saw to use as a general purpose cutter. Needed for non straight cuts and trimming tree limbs and such. The blade is 9” long and has six teeth per inch. It’s supposed to cut both wood and metal, but so far I’ve only cut wood. I used it to cut a 2x6 and it made short work of that. While installing the blade, had some trouble getting it to fit (probably because I had an inexpensive saw). But once in, it was a tight fit, no wobble at all. Am pleased with the performance of this blade. It has the quality of Milwaukee products and is made in USA.

great teeth on a long blade with lots of cut options
I tried this blade because it is rated to cut just about anything. When doing demo work, I have frequently found that I was cutting more than what I could see, many hidden nails and worse yet screws in the timber. This blade like most others will quickly lose its paint, but that does not affect its ability to cut just about anything. I tried it on a variety of items and as pictured, I cut up a wooden wire spool that had tempered steel screws holding it all together. This blade went right through both the wood and ALL of the steel, no issues.

Much Better Than Your Average Blade
This is better than just a carbide blade. This blade has nitrus carbide teeth which gives the saw two times the life over just carbide. This mean the nitrus carbide technology makes it the fastest and longest life. Per the label, it can be used on wood (and with nails), deck screws, roofing material, plaster, black and PVC pipe, Cast iron, metal and rigid conduit. So pretty much anything you need to cut (within reason). Imagine needing one sawzall blade while doing residential demolition projects. It has 6 teeth per inch with a 1/2” universal tang. Because the blade is thicker than a ‘normal’ blade, it doesn’t give a fine precise cut, but with this type of blade, I wouldn’t expect it. Does not come with the tool (sold separately). Available in 6”, 9” and 12”. Available in 1pk, 3pk and 6pk. Made in USA with global materials from Germany and UK.

Great All-Around Blade
These Wrecker blades are great for a huge variety of jobs. I've used them in the past for demo work, and they do a great job sawing through metal, wood, drywall, or whatever you throw at them. This latest incarnation seems to have a little less set to the teeth, which is fine. So far I've just used it to clean up some branches around the yard, and it has made fast work of the wood I've thrown at it. One thing to note is that the 9" is the total measurement--in my Sawzall, it gives me about 6" of actual cutting length.

Excellent 12" blade
Great multi-purpose blade for your reciprocating saw. Fits all brands that I am aware of, and I know it fits in both of the two brands I have, Milwaukee and the other brand only sold at Home Depot. Like any 12" blade it does flex a bit when using at an angle or when going through multiple types of material, but when using to make an imprecise cut through timber, just for example, it stays straight enough. It says it lasts 2x as long, but as long as what I'm not sure, but in my experience Milwaukee blades do last a good long time.

Looks like a winner
I'm reviewing the Milwaukee 6 in. 6 teeth per inch wrecker nitrus carbide teeth multi-material cutting Sawzall reciprocating saw blade (1 pack). From what I found this blade does what it says I cut wood with nails and metal conduit with no problems. When it hit's steel the cutting slows down not surprising but keep on cutting. After making cuts I examined the teeth and found no damage to the blade other than missing paint looks like it should last without having to keep changing blades all the time.

You can't beat this blade.
This is one saw blade that will cut thru just about anything. I had to cut a hole in my roof and I decided to give this blade a try and it really went thru some nails like a knife on hot butter it never looks back and kept going. The roofing shingles never bother the blade one bit about cutting the wood never bog it down at all. This saw blade eats thru nails and screws that are embedded in the wood. The blade is a little on the expensive side, It is worth it if you going to be doing a lot of cutting in wood that has a lot of nails or screws or black pipe or some other metal. This blade will last a lot longer than the other blades that are demolition blades. I have to highly recommend this blade it is worth every cent.

Tough for tough jobs
I'm renovating my son's 1931 house and I needed a good, long reciprocating saw blade that can stand up to cutting off nails. This really does the job. The universal attachment design fits both of my reciprocating saws. One of the jobs I used it on was for installing new windows on a 2-story garage that was just delivered. lt worked great for that. Cut through the OSB board like it was butter.
