Product Description
Milwaukee 12 in. 5 TPI Pruning Sawzall Blades — 5 Pack
Model Number: 48-00-1303
The Milwaukee 48-00-1303 is a 5-pack of 12 in. 5 TPI Pruning Sawzall Blades — a specialty reciprocating saw blade engineered specifically for cutting live and seasoned wood in tree pruning, arborist work, brush clearing, and landscape maintenance applications where the blade must cut green wood with high moisture content cleanly and efficiently without the clogging and binding that standard wood-cutting Sawzall blades produce in living wood. Milwaukee engineers pruning blades with a tooth geometry specifically developed for green wood cutting — the tooth profile, set angle, and gullet depth are optimized for the chip clearance requirements of wet, fibrous living wood that packs into standard blade gullets and causes progressive binding that reduces cutting speed and increases motor loading. The 5 TPI coarse tooth pitch maximizes material removal per stroke for productive cutting speed in the live and seasoned wood of tree branches, limbs, and brush that constitute the primary pruning cutting application.
Arborists, landscape contractors, and utility line clearance crews who use reciprocating saws for tree and vegetation work benefit significantly from using the correct pruning blade specification rather than forcing standard wood-cutting blades through green wood — the correct pruning geometry cuts faster, binds less, and provides longer blade life in live wood than general-purpose wood blades. The 12 in. blade length provides the reach for cutting through substantial-diameter limbs and branch sections that shorter blades cannot complete without repositioning. The 5-pack provides the multi-blade supply for extended pruning and brush clearing sessions where blade life in live wood is measured in quantity of limbs cut rather than drilling hours, and where having fresh blades available throughout a full day of pruning work ensures consistent cutting speed and quality.
For standard clean dry wood cutting where pruning-specific geometry is not needed, Milwaukee's thin kerf wood-cutting Sawzall blades provide the best performance — see Milwaukee's complete specialty blade lineup for all available application-specific configurations.
