Milwaukee 48-00-5243 Carbide Wrecker Sawzall Blade 12in 6TPI

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-00-5243 is a 12-inch Wrecker reciprocating saw blade engineered for demanding demolition and renovation cuts. Featuring carbide teeth, this blade is built to outlast standard bi-metal blades in applications that involve embedded nails, screws, and mixed-material assemblies. At 6 TPI, the tooth geometry is optimized for aggressive material removal through metal, wood, and plastic in a single pass. Licensed tradespeople and contractors reach for this blade when speed and durability matter more than a finished edge. Each package contains 5 blades.

The 48-00-5243 is suited for residential and light commercial demolition work where cutting through multiple material types is routine. Typical applications include framing teardown, pipe and conduit removal, and salvage cuts through composite assemblies. The 12-inch blade length provides clearance for deep cuts in wall cavities, floor systems, and structural members where shorter blades fall short. Electricians, plumbers, and general contractors will find this blade compatible with standard Sawzall and reciprocating saw tools accepting universal shank designs.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and changes must be performed with the tool unpowered and battery or power source disconnected. Use the tool's blade-clamp release mechanism per the tool manufacturer's instructions and verify the shank is fully seated before operation. Eye protection and appropriate cut-resistant gloves are recommended when handling carbide-tipped blades. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use and replace if damage is found.
