Blade Hole Size Compatibility
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the blade hole size compatibility of the balancer tool. While most agree that having a sharp lawn mower blade makes a significant difference, some customers were disappointed to find that not all blade sizes fit into the balancer due to varying hole diameters. Some purchasers suggest taking a more traditional approach and using a nail for balancing their blades instead.
Highlights
Quality
Well made- works well and should last for years-very durable- this is one purchase you won't regret
I resharpen my blades to death and it definitely helps to keep them more balanced and remove some vibration from mower operation.
My hubby needed to balance our big blades from our 46" zero turn tractor, the blades are 23".
And the blade isn't balanced, it will wreck the bearings in your mower engine.
Price
This was good value for the money
However, it is on the pricey side imo.
