Milwaukee 48-00-5788 Torch Saw Blade 18 Tpi 9 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-00-5788 is a 5-pack of 9-inch Torch reciprocating saw blades designed for high-demand demolition, rescue, and remodeling work. Each blade runs at 18 teeth per inch (TPI), making it well-suited for cutting through metal pipe, channels, tubing, and angle iron up to 4 inches, as well as nail-embedded wood. The Torch blade profile is built for aggressive cutting in tough materials where standard blades lose efficiency quickly. These are the blades tradespeople reach for when the job involves mixed materials, unknown obstructions, or rough demolition conditions.

These blades are intended for use in reciprocating saws, commonly called Sawzalls, in residential and commercial applications. Typical install and use scenarios include structural demolition, fire and rescue operations, remodeling teardowns, and mechanical trade rough-in work where metal framing, pipe, or conduit must be cut efficiently. The 18 TPI geometry handles thin-wall metal tubing and angle iron without excessive tooth stripping, while remaining capable on nail-embedded dimensional lumber.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and changes must be performed with the reciprocating saw powered off and unplugged or battery removed. Always verify the blade clamp mechanism is fully seated and locked before cutting. Eye protection and gloves are standard PPE when operating reciprocating saws in demolition environments.
