Don't Buy New Tools Until You See This: Milwaukee 2026

What happens here

The Milwaukee Nitrus Carbide AX Sawzall blade is introduced, specifically engineered for cutting wood with nails and screws. This blade promises unmatched durability against fasteners, recognizing that hidden screws and nails often cause the most damage to blades. It's designed to provide superior durability and impact resistance across the entire Nitrus Carbide accessory line. A head-to-head demonstration pits the AX blade against a leading competitor's blade, both installed on Sawzall tools and cutting through a wooden block embedded with 28 lag screws. The Milwaukee AX blade successfully cuts through the screws with minimal wear, while the competitor's blade shows significant damage and smoking, failing to complete the cut efficiently. This highlights the AX blade's ability to reduce blade swaps and increase productivity in harsh demolition applications common in general construction and formwork.

Goal: Demonstrate superior durability in wood with fasteners
