Milwaukee 48-00-5233 Sawzall Pruning Blade 12in 3TPI 5-pack

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5233 is a 12-inch AX SAWZALL reciprocating saw blade engineered for pruning and clean wood cutting. Featuring carbide teeth, this blade delivers extended cutting life compared to standard bi-metal designs, making it a reliable choice for arborists, landscapers, and general contractors who cut wood regularly on the job. At 3 TPI, the aggressive tooth geometry removes material quickly while maintaining a clean cut surface. Each package contains 5 blades, reducing downtime on longer jobs or busy service schedules.

This blade is suited for residential and commercial applications where pruning live or dry wood is required. Typical use cases include cutting tree limbs, rough framing lumber, and dimensional clean wood during demolition or renovation work. The 12-inch length provides reach into tight spaces and deeper cuts that shorter blades cannot achieve. The AX designation identifies it as an aggressive-cut blade optimized for wood rather than metal or composite materials. Licensed contractors and professional tree service technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

Key Features

• 12-inch blade length for extended reach and deeper cuts in wood
• 3 TPI tooth pattern designed for fast, aggressive pruning and clean wood removal
• Carbide teeth construction for long life and durability beyond standard bi-metal blades
• AX design optimized specifically for wood cutting applications
• Sold in a 5-pack to reduce restocking frequency on high-volume jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade compatible with standard reciprocating saw tool chucks that accept universal shank SAWZALL-style blades.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and removal should be performed with the reciprocating saw unplugged or the battery pack removed. Consult the saw manufacturer instructions for proper blade-clamp engagement before operating. Carbide-tipped blades are not intended for cutting metal, nails, or abrasive materials, as off-label use will damage the teeth. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves during blade changes and cutting operations.
