Milwaukee 48-00-5037 12" 5 TPI SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw Blade for Wood with Nails, 5-Pack

The Milwaukee 48-00-5037 SAWZALL reciprocating saw blade is purpose-built for cutting through wood with embedded nails, a common requirement in demolition, remodeling, and renovation work where standard wood blades quickly fail. This 12" blade uses a 5 TPI (teeth per inch) tooth pattern, a coarser configuration that clears chips quickly and delivers fast, aggressive cutting speed through thick lumber, studs, and framing members. Sold as a 5-pack, the 48-00-5037 keeps a ready supply of blades on hand so contractors and DIYers can swap in a fresh blade the moment one dulls, minimizing downtime on the jobsite. Designed to fit SAWZALL reciprocating saws and other standard reciprocating saw models, this blade is a practical, no-nonsense accessory for anyone regularly cutting through nail-embedded wood.

Key Features

  • 12" Blade Length: The extended 12-inch length lets you reach through thick lumber, double-stud walls, and deep framing cuts without repositioning the saw as often as a shorter blade would require.
  • 5 TPI Tooth Pattern: A low 5 teeth-per-inch count is tuned for speed over finish, clearing large gullets of material quickly and making short work of thick wood sections during demolition.
  • Built for Wood with Nails: Unlike blades meant only for clean lumber, the 48-00-5037 is rated to cut through wood that still contains embedded nails, a frequent condition when tearing out framing, subfloor, or old decking.
  • SAWZALL and Reciprocating Saw Compatible: The blade is designed to work with Milwaukee SAWZALL reciprocating saws as well as other standard reciprocating saw tools that accept universal-shank blades.
  • Five Blades per Pack: Packaged as a 5-pack, the 48-00-5037 gives you multiple spare blades so a dulled or damaged blade doesn't stop work mid-project.
  • Demolition-Ready Design: The combination of a 12" length and 5 TPI geometry is tailored to the rough, high-volume cutting demands of demolition and remodeling rather than fine finish work.

Milwaukee 48-00-5037 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Milwaukee 48-00-5037 SAWZALL blade cut wood that still has nails in it?
Yes. The 48-00-5037 is built for nail-embedded wood, which is the normal condition when you tear out framing, subfloor, or old decking. A clean-lumber wood blade loses teeth on the first nail; this one is rated to cut through them. At 5 TPI it is a speed blade, not a finish blade, so expect a rough kerf.
2) Does this Milwaukee SAWZALL blade come in a shorter length than 12 inches?
Two lengths are offered: the 12 inch blade is part number 48-00-5037 and the 6 inch is 48-01-6035. Go 12 inch when you need to reach through thick lumber, double-stud walls, or deep framing cuts; the 6 inch is easier to control in tight joist bays and between studs where a long blade whips or bottoms out.
3) Will this blade fit a reciprocating saw that isn't a Milwaukee SAWZALL?
Yes. The blade uses a universal shank, so it runs in Milwaukee SAWZALL saws and other standard reciprocating saws, corded or cordless.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Milwaukee 48-00-5037 for cutting wood on a reciprocating saw?
The Milwaukee 48-00-5037 is a 5 TPI SAWZALL blade built for wood with embedded nails, offered in 12 inch and 6 inch lengths. The nearest wood-cutting alternative is the Lenox 20573S656R LUMBERWOLF, a 6 inch reciprocating blade with a 6 TPI tooth count. Both use coarse tooth spacing aimed at fast cutting in lumber rather than finish work; the LUMBERWOLF's slightly higher tooth count is a finer pitch than the Milwaukee's 5 TPI, and it comes only in the 6 inch length, so for reaching through double-stud walls or deep framing the 12 inch 48-00-5037 is the one with the length.
5) If nail-embedded wood is destroying blades fast, is there a longer-life option than a 5 TPI SAWZALL blade?
Yes. The Milwaukee 48-00-5037 is a bi-metal-style 5 TPI blade sold as a 5-pack so a dulled blade can be swapped on the spot, which suits high-volume demolition where blades are treated as consumables. If you would rather run fewer blades, the Lenox 2014220 is a 6 inch x 1 inch Lazer CT carbide-tipped blade intended for demolition and remodeling; the carbide teeth are a different cutting edge technology than a toothed steel wood blade. The trade-off is length - the Lazer CT is 6 inches, so deep framing cuts still call for the 12 inch Milwaukee.
6) Is 5 TPI the right tooth count for demolition, or do I need something finer?
5 TPI is the coarse end of the range and that is what you want for demolition. The big gullets clear chips fast through studs, joists, and subfloor. For sheet metal, conduit, or thin-wall pipe it is far too coarse, the teeth will straddle the material and hook. For those cuts step to a fine-tooth metal blade such as the Lenox Metalwolf Wave Edge 6 inch at 24 TPI. For cleaner cuts in lumber, the Lenox LUMBERWOLF 6 inch at 6 TPI is a closer-pitch wood blade.
7) I'm hitting more nails and metal than wood. Is there a tougher blade than this 5 TPI Milwaukee?
If the cut is mostly embedded metal, hardware, or mixed demolition debris, a carbide-tipped blade outlasts a toothed bi-metal blade by a wide margin. The Lenox 2014220 Lazer CT is a 6 inch by 1 inch carbide-tipped blade made for demolition and remodeling. Stay with the Milwaukee 5 TPI when the bulk of the cut is wood with occasional nails, and when you need the 12 inch reach that carbide blade doesn't give you.
8) Can I use this blade for plumbing rough-in access cuts through framing?
Yes, cutting openings through studs, plates, and subfloor for rough-in access is one of its listed uses, and the nail-embedded wood rating matters there since you are usually cutting existing framing. The 12 inch version gets through doubled plates in one pass. It is not the blade for the pipe itself, use a fine-tooth metal blade for that.
9) We stock Lenox Fire and Rescue blades - do those cover what the Milwaukee 48-00-5037 does?
They overlap only partly. The Lenox 20577850R is an 8 inch bi-metal Fire and Rescue blade with a 10/14 TPI variable pitch, sold in a 5-pack; that fine pitch is set up for mixed and unknown material in forcible-entry cutting. The Milwaukee 48-00-5037 is a 5 TPI blade in 12 inch and 6 inch lengths aimed squarely at wood with embedded nails, where the coarse gullets clear chips and keep cutting speed up in thick lumber. A crew doing framing and subfloor tear-out will go through the 10/14 TPI blade slowly, so both belong in the truck for different cuts.
10) Will blades from other brands fit a Milwaukee SAWZALL, or do I have to buy Milwaukee?
The 48-00-5037 uses a universal shank and is stated to work with Milwaukee SAWZALL saws as well as other standard reciprocating saws, and the same shank convention is why Lenox blades such as the 20573S656R LUMBERWOLF or the 2014220 Lazer CT run in the same tool holders. So the choice between them comes down to tooth pitch, length and edge type rather than the saw - confirm your saw's stroke and clamp accept the 12 inch length before standardizing on the long Milwaukee blade.
11) How many blades come in a pack of the Milwaukee 48-00-5037?
Five blades per pack. That is the practical point of it on a demo crew, when one dulls mid-wall you swap and keep cutting instead of sending someone to the truck.
12) What should a facility or MRO buyer stock for fire and rescue cutting instead of this demolition blade?
The Milwaukee 48-00-5037 is a wood-with-nails demolition blade, not a rescue blade. For rescue work the Lenox 20577850R is an 8 inch bi-metal Fire and Rescue blade at 10/14 TPI, sold in a 5-pack, with the variable fine pitch those cuts call for.
