Sawzall Blade – The Ax – A Blade you have to see

by: toolman

If you have never used an Ax blade before, you have to check one out.  When I first heard about them, I didn’t think much of it.  Then we went to a Milwaukee event in Wisconsin and saw them first hand.  We even had a chance to play with them and cut some stuff up.  When we entered the tent, we were watching an infomercial on them and they were showing them in action against other blades.  Of course the Ax went through much better.  But seeing something happen and actually doing it yourself, well thats like night and day.  I picked up the competitors blade and went to town.  Not bad, just as I expected.  Then I used the Ax blade.  I have to say I was very impressed.  Not only was it faster, it was much smoother. One note to add, both blades were attached to the same Sawzall, so it was even.  I couldn’t believe how much this blade design made a difference.

After studying the blade, I saw there were five things that made this blade truly different.
  1. Engineering –  This blade is like no other blade on the market.  It is designed to not only cut efficient, but it is designed to last
  2. Nail Guard – The Nail Guard system is designed to protect the teeth when hitting nails.  The blade is a 5 tpi and the nail guard protects the teeth from breaking when hitting a nail.  That means during your cut, without teeth breaking, you have more teeth doing the work and a faster cut.
  3. Fang Tip – The range tip is designed to penetrate wood for plunge cutting.  While ordinary blades will bounce when trying to make a plunge cut, the fang grabs the wood and cuts right through for an effortless plunge cut every time.  Lets see another blade try that.
  4. Thicker Blade – The Ax has a thicker blade stock to it, so it can take more before breaking or wearing down.
  5. Taller Profile – The Ax blade has a 1″ profile to help reduce the twising effect when doing demo work.  You get more accurate and straighter cuts.
One thing I like best about these blades is that they are all made right her in the United States of America.  You can’t beat that.  If you haven’t tried these blades yet, you have to.  Trust me you will be hooked.
