Milwaukee Reciprocating Saw Blade TCT WRE 150/6T 5 pcs
A set of five TCT WRE 150/6T reciprocating saw blades from Milwaukee, designed for efficient cutting in metal, wood with nails, and other hard materials. The blades are optimised for cordless saws and combine long life with high precision.
Why it was chosen: This set from Milwaukee was selected for its versatility and durability. The carbide-toothed blades provide a professional solution for users who need to cut efficiently through mixed materials under demanding conditions.

The Milwaukee TCT WRE 150/6T is a multi-material reciprocating saw blade capable of cutting metal, cast iron, wood with nails, as well as hardened screws and bolts. The blades are equipped with carbide teeth that offer a significantly longer lifespan than conventional bi-metal blades.

The optimised design makes them particularly suitable for use with cordless saws, where efficiency and energy consumption are crucial. According to the manufacturer, they can deliver up to 25% more cuts per charge compared to standard bi-metal models.

The blades have a thickness of 1.27 mm, contributing to precise, straight cuts, while a blade width of 25 mm provides increased stability and reduces vibration during operation. The distinctive FANG TIP™ tip makes it easier to start cuts even in tight spaces and enables plunge cuts.

The set consists of five blades with a length of 150 mm and a tooth pitch of 6T, making them suitable for demolition work in various materials where robustness and versatility are required.
