Milwaukee 48-01-2188 9 in 18 Tpi Sawzall Blade 25 Pack

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 48-01-2188 is a 9-inch, 18 TPI reciprocating saw blade built for thin-kerf cutting in demanding trade applications. Constructed with Matrix II bi-metal teeth, the blade delivers durability well beyond standard bi-metal designs. An optimized tooth geometry extends service life significantly compared to previous-generation Sawzall blades. Tough neck ribs reinforce the blade tang, reducing breakage at one of the highest-stress points during aggressive cutting. This blade is sold in bulk quantities of 25 per unit of measure, making it well suited for contractors and service shops that cycle through blades at high volume.

The 48-01-2188 is designed for use with reciprocating saws in residential and commercial service work. The 18 TPI count and thin-kerf profile make it particularly effective on sheet metal, conduit, tubing, and other thin-section materials commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in or demolition work. Licensed tradespeople and experienced contractors who need consistent blade performance across large job volumes will find the 25-piece bulk packaging practical for stocking service vehicles and shop inventory.
