The Milwaukee 48-00-4182 Ice Edge Sawzall blade is specifically designed to handle the toughest metal-cutting applications for HVAC, automotive, plumbing, ship building, salvage and more. This next-generation blade features a bi-metal construction with 8-percent cobalt, making the Ice Edge a flexible alternative to other reciprocating blades.

The added flexibility prevents shock, fatigue, and shattering for safer use and cleaner cuts, while a completely redesigned blade optimizes metal cutting with precision-ground teeth and a radiused back face that increases tooth strength. The end result is faster cuts and up to 50-percent longer blade life than standard Sawzall blades. Another exceptional feature of the Ice Edge blades is the positive rake on the cutting edges. This design removes chips aggressively, while deeper gullets help keep the cut clear and cool to ensure optimal heat resistance.

Milwaukee's cryogenic heat-treat process induces a permanent change in the microstructure of the high-speed steel cutting edge, and because it penetrates to the full depth of the blade, this treatment improves the hardness, wear-resistance, and dimensional stability of the blade.
