This blade is great for rough work. It doesn't bend when jabbing at wood to start the cut. It cuts nails off and stays sharp a lot longer than most blades.

Most of the sawzall blades are ok, so-so, and will get the job done in a timely manner, but if you got an AX blade, get ready to rummmmbbble. These babies are out to kick b--- and they don't care what's in the way. You framing,electical,plumbing, or just overall PROS had better check these guys out.

This blade is just as promised. Cuts through both pine and hardwood very fast. So far have stayed sharp. Milwaukee stuff is usually pretty good, so feel safe ordering these. When cutting off studs with embedded nails, have had good luck in going straight through them, even with 20d old nails. Suggest keeping the pressure moderate so as not to heat them up and they will last longer.

Already knew that Milwaukee makes great saw blades and purchased from Amazon because of the low price vs. even the big box stores.

OK, OK so there's no such word in English as demolishingly. But allow a little artistic licence (and that is spelled right, by the way).

Bought these blades for a cordless saw so I could cut through tree roots while they were still in soil.

Work well but obviously lifetime is somewhat limited in that environment.

The Milwaukee 18v reciprocating saw I use them with is v. good too. But don't go paying hundreds of dollars for one. Found mine new (no batteries, no case, no retail packaging) for $70 on eBay.

(Sorry, Amazon, but sometimes you aren't actually the best place to shop).

sounded like these blades were exceptional, so I ordered a package. My experience is that they simply don't cut. Thought maybe the first one was a factory defect, but worked through all of them and found that NONE of the blades in this pack cut. Tried them in my battery-powered recip, and in the 110 volt recip -- they don't cut. The cheap blades that I got at Big Lots cut a LOT faster and more cleanly. So much for getting what you pay for.

I own a large selection of Milwaukee tools and a few Hilti tools. IMO, getting Milwaukee products are like getting Hilti products for a little less money. However, if you work in punishing, demanding conditions everyday, all day, then Hilti may be the way to go for the very long haul. For 90%, Milwaukee is a good bet
