Milwaukee 48-00-1301 Sawzall Pruning Blade 5 Teeth per Inch 9-Inch

I use these blades in a Milwaukee V28 cordless Sawzall, clearing heavy bushes, e.g., up to 3" trunks. They cut much faster, with less sticking, than blades made for construction wood or demolition. That results in less work, since you don't have to hold a vibrating saw as long. If you're using a cordless saw, you'll get more done with each battery charge, since these blades cut faster. 9" is the right length for branches/trunks up to 7" or so.

These blades work great on other projects, such as cutting pressure treated 6x6's, fence posts, split-rail fencing, etc. However, avoid any wood that may have nails in it. When these blades hit a nail, the large teeth dull quickly. For wood with nails, use demolition blades.

One reviewer said his blades bent. Any reciprocating saw blade will bend if the tip hits something hard while the saw is running. A blade can also bend if it binds near the tip; e.g., if you hit a green knot. When a blade bends, use pliers to straighten it out as best you can, but absolutely wear safety glasses, as tempered steel can shatter.

If you're going to be pruning or fencing with a reciprocating saw, get some of these excellent blades.

5.0 out of 5 stars sawzall pruning, June 10, 2007

By	Clyde R. Jones - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is really a long lasting blade for pruning. I cleared about twenty
junk maple trees ( at least 2" diameter each) using one blade and it
would last for a few more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise, Your Sawzall Can Do One More Job You Never Thought About, April 28, 2009

By	AgedWireHead (Houston TX USA) - See all my reviews

I needed to do quite a bit of quick branch pruning before a renovation project could start, and the branches were too large for pruning shears and too small for my chain saw. My Sawzall came to mind, so I found the largest tooth long blades that I had and went to work. It went pretty well, considering, but the blades would foul and tend to bind too often. Still, the job was completed much faster than I expected.

That evening, Amazon tempted me by showing me these blades, and I bought them. First, they are very sharp, and the significant set and large teeth amplify this, so use gloves and care when handling the blades. I was cut just while opening the plastic container. Second, they cut green wood great, much easier than the other demolition blades I tried, and they have not fouled up on me at all.

Now, what I want to know is: why am I suddenly doing all of this pruning?
