Used to remove larger parts of a 600 pound cedar tree. Also used to cut off buried roots along the 40' edge of the patio blocks from remaining trees. We have almost 100% sand soil in Florida so the blade didn't dull quickly and now I have four extra blades. Did not expect them to last this long for sure.

40mins with 2x4s and 1/2” ply and done
The reviews looked very promising. However, after 40mins of demo on 2x4s and 1/2” plywood it snapped. Extremely disappointed with the build on this. My Milwaukee Sawzall has stood up great. But, for a $16 blade I am extremely disappointed in its performance.

      I needed these to cut some ABS sewer pipe I was installing. These fit my Sawzall and worked great to get through the ABS. These do leave a little bit of a burr on the pipe so I was sure to file them off. Overall, I am happy with these blades. The are easy to use and cut through ABS pipe easily.

      Milwaukee....4 in 10 Teeth per in Multi Material Cutting Saw Blade. This is a great Reciprocating Saw blade for a Hackzall or a Sawzall. I like the shortness of the blade it makes it very easy to get into tight places. The blade is made of steel and the shortness of the blade keeps it from flexing or bending. I shortened the 4 legs on 3 bar stools made of poplar and had no problem cutting them. there are a variety of blades available depending on what you are going to cut. this is a great blade

      The blade was way over priced. I used it for about an hour in older style sheet rock wall. One side of the blade worn done totally on one side. I did not see a benefit to this blade, in sheet rock, as opposed to experimenting with other blades and/or manufacturers.

      This is a fantastic price for a 10-blade pack of 9 inch demo blades. Sawzalls make quick work of demolition or remodeling, where it is easy to slip the thin blade between the stud and plate to cut the nails and remove the stud. These work great for cutting metal screws, bolts and lumber, as well as metal and plastic pipes, wires, conduits, anchors, unistrut and lumber hangers. They seem to be super-hardened, so they last a long time before the teeth get worn down. The other problem that I often encounter is the blades getting bent. Since these are an inch wide, they hold their shape better, and allow bending back straight more often without snapping off. The 9-inch long blade also means cutting completely through a 2x6 wall, including the finish material, all from one side. Demo work is hard on tools, and these take a lot of abuse before wearing out.

      The Milwaukee Metal cutting blade called “The Torch” could replace a grinder or acetylene torch for some specific cuts on mild steel. I decided to try “The Torch” blade instead of a grinder preparing a 4x4, ¼ inch thick sq. tube for a rocket stove. I made 3 cuts, 2 cuts along the edge of the tube and 1 cut across the tube. The saw blade tracked well, straight along the edges and straight across the top. I’ve attached pictures to tell that story. “The Torch” blade I used was 9 inches in length and had 14 TPI. I detected essentially no wear with only 3 cuts. At ~$3 dollars a blade, these seem like a great value. I used 10-30w oil while making my cuts for lubrication and heat reduction. For projects like this, I have always used a grinder before with lots of sparks and noise. My normal set up for grinding work is outside the garage. This time, using “The Torch” I was inside the garage and only had metal cuttings to clean up. As blade technology improves so do our options. I would recommend “The Torch”, the Milwaukee metal cutting blade.

      I recently used one of these blades in my Milwaukee reciprocating saw to cut through some lumber previously used on the job site. The blades cut fast and true and even though I didn't cut through any nails, I did manage to slice through quite a few big staples with no problems. The blade stayed sharp with multiple cuts so I have confidence this 10 blade pack will last me quite a ling time.

      Whether I am building, renovating or doing demolition; these blades are part of my tool arsenal. It seems I am always taking apart something that has nails or screws in the assembly. These blades do very well cutting through many types of metal. I've used them to cut through angle iron, aluminum and various other soft metals. They will cut through many different types of pipe materials. Also stainless steel plate/sheet metal.

      I am using these blades in my Milwaukee M18 Hackzall. I think that the biggest plus to these blades is their stiffness. Most blades especially if they are as long as these have a pronounced tendency to flex and bend. These blades are so much stiffer that they stay in alignment both vertically and horizontally. Once you get your cut started straight they stay in alignment and produce a nice true cut. So far I have made a few cuts in 1/8" mild steel material and have not noticed any dulling of the blade. i will have to wait and see how long it stays sharp but at this point it is still going through the steel as good or better than any Sawzall blade I have used.

      Milwaukee Torch Metal Saw Blades We used these reciprocating saw blades to cut up old pallets where the nails were rusted in, these blades cut through them pretty easy - have used the Milwaukee brand for years and they can take a beating. Since these particular blades are meant for making tough straight cuts, they were perfect for this job. The blades are 9in x 14 TPI x 1in and the neck of the blades are made to protect against tang breaks, there is a honeycomb pattern on the blades that is to help increase the rigidity so there is less buckling. Great blades for many purposes.

      This 10 pack Milwaukee 9 inch reciprocating saw blade has a long lasting life. I've cut off electrical conduit 1/2" to 1" pipe, cast iron drain pipes and metal frames with these blade in one day and still ready for some more action. These blades have an 18 teeth per inch (TPI) cutting blade for fast and easy cutting. Very convenient pack of 10 and the 1 inch width blade makes it certainly easy to use in narrow areas while having to cut out metal. I like these saw blade that match my Milwaukee SawZall. The saw blade comes in a white color and has a cool American flag made in the USA logo. I'm very happy with this product. Wonderful for demolition, renovating and cuts on point.

      These are excellent blades. They have a very aggressive tooth pattern that really cuts the wood. I ran a little experiment where I cut an untreated 4x4 with a regular blade and then cut it with one of these blades. True to the their claim, the Milwaukee blade cut at least twice as fast as the conventional blade ! I got this ten pack of blades because I have a bad habit of keeping a blade long past its useful life ! Hopefully, having a ten pack, I will replace my blades before they get super dull. Pictures attached.

      These are quality reciprocating saw blades. Nice and long and they don't give up if they hit a nail. Having ten means I will not quickly run out. The tang is universal so they fit my cordless and corded reciprocating saw (Ryobi and DeWalt respectively). They cut agressively which is what I want for this type blade. I do not use the reciprocating saw for fine work.

      A very good blade for a wide variety of uses. At 9 inches it is longer than many traditional reciprocating saw blades and that means I can use this for thicknesses up to about 6 inches. Shorter blades will do about 4 inches and longer ones are prone to bending. This is also the widest blade of the three different ones I own which reduces flex. I also like the fact that it will cut most everything including wood, metal, and plastic. Why bother with a blade that won't do it all, especially if you are in destruction mode. Also, I think that the tooth size and pattern promote somewhat smoother cuts.

      9 in. 5 TPI AX Nail-Embedded Wood Cutting Reciprocating Saw Blades (10-Pack) review: Another superior Milwaukee product! I just got a reciprocating saw and right now am using it to prune very thick branches both dead and alive from our front and back yard. These 9 inch blades are the perfect length AND they cut right through both live and dead tree limbs. Man, they tear right through quickly! I have not tested it on pine with embedded nails but they look very stout and are thick - they do not bend easily. Man, Milwaukee just keeps turning out superior products in every category. Whatever tree limb I had to cut through (some were over 5 inches in width) it just tore it up! Man, and clean cuts too! So far I have used just the first blade and it looks barely used. Man! I just Love Milwaukee products! There ya go!

      These are very high-quality blades that last longer than the other blades I have used in the past. They don’t get fin near the tip which helps them resist bending. You might pay a little extra for these but I think they are worth it. They make short work of any cutting job. Because they are a bit thicker they seem to stay on the cutting path better than the thinner blades.

      I love these blades for pruning. I know there is a pruning blade but it is really expensive and prone to bending. These demolition blades do the trick. They are sturdy and only a little slower than the pruning blade. Great for anything that needs to be cut up in a hurry without much precision. I received this 9 IN. 7/11 TPI WRECKER DEMOLITION MUTLI-MATERIAL CUTTING SAWZALL RECIPROCATING SAW BLADES (10-PACK) for free to write this review.

      This review is for the Milwaukee Sawzall model 48-00-1788 (“Torch”) blades. It’s important to note the model number because Milwaukee has a variety of Sawzall blades. The 1788 comes in a 10-pack and is designed for cutting medium metal (1/8” to 5/16” thick). The Sawzall style blades do not have to be used in a Milwaukee saw – I mounted a 1788 blade on a Ryobi reciprocating saw with no problems at all. The blades are made in the USA (see photo) and are 9” long (including the tang part which is held inside the saw). I had a couple of old metal trellises that I’ve been meaning to cut up and discard - normally a job for my Milwaukee angle grinder with a cutting blade mounted, but since I had the new “Torch” blades in hand I couldn’t resist trying one out. The 1788 almost went through that metal tubing in shorter time than it did for me to put a new battery in the saw and insert the blade. (Hearing, face, and hand protection are always a must when doing this kind of chore, of course). I’ve a photo below of the used saw blade and one section of the cut tubing, but it doesn’t reflect how easily the new blade cut through the metal. Being a semi-retired I.T. tech and a homeowner/DIY’er, I can’t really comment on the longevity of the blade – I don’t have any deck or cabling jobs on hand that require me to spend a long time with the reciprocating saw. But other than the paint rubbed off of the blade where it went through the metal the 1788 shows no sign of wear after my testing this morning (see photo). The blades come in a plastic blister pack; there’s no case for storage of the spare blades once the pack is opened. However, if you mix them up with other blades no worries – Milwaukee has labeled each blade with “Torch” in letters large enough that they’ll probably be visible after a lot of blade wear. That’ll make it easier to grab the right blade for the job. HTH Regards, Jim

      This review is for the Milwaukee model 48-00-1706 “Wrecker” Sawzall blade. The 1706 comes in a pack of 10 (the pack I received had a bonus 2 blades included). It’s good to check the model number to make sure you’re reading the right review – Milwaukee has fair number of blades available. The blades come in a blister pack, there’s no storage container included; once you open the container you’ll need to find a spot for the loose blades. If you store them with other blades, Milwaukee has handily labeled each blade in easy-to-read lettering that it’s a “Wrecker” so you’re not going to have to stop and search for the right blade. Of course the lettering will eventually wear off – but I think enough will remain visible even after a lot of blade use to identify the blade by a glance. The “Wrecker” blade is designed for “multi-material” – wood, light metal, PVC, etc. I had an old bird bath waiting to be destroyed, made out of some type of PVC type plastic and filled with sand. I mounted the “Wrecker” on a Ryobi reciprocating saw (doesn’t have to be a Milwaukee saw) and it took about 3 minutes to reduce the bird bath to pieces and remove the packed in sand (see photo below). You’ll want to wear protective gear when using a reciprocating saw, of course. The 1706 is made in the USA and is 9” in length. It worked very well in this test – I don’t have any large projects on hand at the moment to “destruct”, but I’m satisfied that this new Milwaukee blade can get the job done. I’m a semi-retired I.T. tech / homeowner / DIY’er and professional trades will have their own opinions on longevity and cutting capability. As a DIY’er I’m pleased to add these to my saw kit. HTH Regards, Jim

      This review is for the Milwaukee model 48-00-1026 “Ax” Sawzall blade, which includes 10 blades in the pack. Milwaukee makes several different Sawzall blades, so it’s important that the review you’re reading matches the model number of the blade you’re researching. The “Ax” (the name is imprinted on each blade, making it easy to find when stored with other blades) is designed to go through “wood with nails”. I mounted a blade in a Ryobi reciprocating saw and gave it a workout going through treated 2x4’s. (You don’t need a Milwaukee brand saw to use these blades). The blade performed very well – although at one point I did get a bit of ‘kick-back’ when I hit something hard (a knot, most likely, I didn’t see any nails at the spot I was cutting). It was momentary and the blade dug in and completed the cut. The only real sign of wear was where the logo is imprinted on the blade – that got smeared. The blade itself appears to be as sharp as when I took it out of the pack. I’m a semi-retired IT tech / homeowner / DIY’er, not a pro, so opinions may vary as to the longevity of the “Ax”. This new blade will be a good match for the types of projects in which I get involved and I don’t think it’s overkill for a non-pro to use these new Milwaukee blades. The blades are made in the USA and come in a blister pack – no case is provided so you’ll want somewhere to store the loose blades. As always, where hand / eye / hearing protection when using reciprocating saws. HTH Regards, Jim

        stump removed with these
        Used to cut tree roots on pine tree stump after hurricane Michael. Cleared dirt from around roots best I could, then wiped root with gloved hand. For all roots, went through 2 blades and was still cutting strong. Some dirt at times. Thin kerf cut really good. Lasted much better than expected. Highly recommend these blades, especially for dry limbs or if you need for roots. Thank you Milwaukee. Had in garage for limbs for a few years, kept using demo blades on branches, these are great and durable, bend one, straightens easy. Get these
