Milwaukee The AX Sawzall Blade – 12 in, 5 TPI, 1/2 in Universal Shank, 5-Pack

Overview

Meet Milwaukee's The AX Sawzall blade—the 12-inch, 5 TPI wood demolition blade engineered for speed, durability, and clean plunges in heavy-duty projects. It brings a thoughtful blend of design and takedown power, so you can tackle stubborn wood with confidence.

Why this blade stands out

Designed to balance speed and longevity, this blade combines Nail Guard protection, a Fang Tip that bites into wood on contact, a thicker, rigid blade body to resist bending, and Matrix II bi-metal teeth for enhanced wear resistance. The 1 inch blade height helps keep cuts straight under load, reducing drift during tough demolitions.

• NAIL GUARD: aggressive 5 TPI pattern for faster cuts with added protection against tooth fracture
• FANG TIP: bites into wood on contact for quicker starts
• Rigid blade body: resists twisting and bending for longer life
• 1 inch blade height: reduces blade twist for straighter cuts
• Matrix II bi-metal teeth: improved durability for tough demolition tasks
