9" Standard Metal Blades, Double Duty, 18 TPI, 5 Pack

Milwaukee 48-00-5188 Sawzall Blades – 9" Metal-Cutting Blades with 18 TPI

The Milwaukee 48-00-5188 Sawzall® blades are engineered for high-performance metal cutting applications. Each 9-inch blade features 18 teeth per inch, designed specifically for fast, controlled cutting of thin to medium-gauge metal, including conduit, threaded rod, angle iron, and sheet metal. This pack includes five bi-metal blades suitable for use in reciprocating saws with standard blade shanks.

Manufactured with proprietary Tough Neck™ technology, these blades are reinforced at the tang to reduce breakage at the connection point. The Grid Iron™ honeycomb spine design adds rigidity and minimizes deflection under load, enhancing stability during aggressive cuts. The thin kerf body allows for faster cutting while reducing motor strain on the tool.
