Milwaukee® Expands Leadership in Carbide Reciprocating Saw Blades

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool continues to redefine cutting performance on the jobsite with the introduction of the AX™ with NITRUS™ Carbide SAWZALL® Blade for Wood with Nails & Screws, delivering unmatched life in nails and screws. This NITRUS™ Carbide SAWZALL® Blade sets a new standard for demolition blades by providing the fastest cuts and longest life. Built to solve the durability and speed challenges remodelers face on the jobsite.

“With NITRUS™ Carbide, we’re pushing the limits of what users should expect from a blade,” said Joseph Stehlik, Product Manager. “From fewer blade changes to faster cutting through wood and fasteners, this blade represents our continued commitment to delivering solutions that let residential remodelers, and demo crews work faster and more efficiently.”

An optimized tooth geometry enhances durability in hardened fasteners, allowing the blade to deliver up to 2X longer life vs. carbide blades in wood with nails. This reduces blade changes and maximizes productivity when cutting through wood, embedded fasteners, and tough roofing materials.

With the integration of NAILGUARD™ users can rip nails, not teeth, which significantly improves durability and maintains consistent cutting performance. Making this an ideal blade for cutting through the most difficult demolition materials. The FANG TIP™ design for fastest plunge cutting in nail embedded wood, offers quick and confident entry into material. These features are especially valuable when working on aggressive demolition or creating openings and access points.

Offering the fastest cutting and longest life, the entire family of NITRUS™ Carbide products, including the NITRUS™ Carbide SAWZALL® , NITRUS™ Carbide Circular Saw Blades and NITRUS™ Carbide Oscillating Multi-Tool Blades, as well as this new AX™ with NITRUS™ Carbide SAWZALL® Blade for Wood with Nails & Screws are the best performing cutting products on the market.
