Milwaukee 49-22-1168 Universal Shank Metal/Wood Cutting Jig Saw Blade Assortment Review

Firstly, these blades have a universal shank that fits Milwaukee Jig Saw model 6256-6 and other popular jig saws with this tang configuration. The assortment includes metal cutting blades for different thicknesses of metal, as well as general purpose blades for nail embedded wood. These blades are 9/32 inches wide for efficient cutting. They're also easy to use, thanks to their universal shank and straightforward design.

In terms of durability, reviewers have noted that these blades do hold up well and seem to be slightly more durable than brands found in big box stores. They may particularly be a good choice for cutting cement board or backer board for tile work, which can quickly wear down other blades. However, as with any jig saw blade, they will eventually wear down and need to be replaced. Overall, the product is manufactured in Switzerland and meets high quality standards.

Another notable feature of these blades is that they are compatible with older jig saw models. Some reviewers specifically mention using them with older Craftsman or Milwaukee jig saws that they've had for decades and are still going strong. This makes finding replacement blades easier and helps extend the life of those older tools.
