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

The Milwaukee TCT WRE 150/6T is a multi-material reciprocating saw blade designed to handle metal, cast iron, wood with nails, as well as hardened screws and bolts. The blades are equipped with carbide teeth, providing a significantly longer service life than traditional bi-metal blades.

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

The blades have a thickness of 1.27 mm, which contributes to precise and straight cuts, while a blade height of 25 mm provides greater stability and reduces vibrations during work. The FANG TIP™ feature makes it easier to start the cut, even in confined spaces, and allows plunge cuts.

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

  • Carbide teeth: Provide up to 50 times longer service life than standard bi-metal blades.
  • Optimised for cordless saws: Offers up to 25% more cuts per charge.
  • FANG TIP™: Makes it easier to start the cut and allows plunge cuts.
  • Precise construction: Blade thickness of 1.27 mm and height of 25 mm for stability and precision.
  • Multi-material use: Suitable for metal, cast iron, wood with nails, and hardened screws.
