Rubber Mower Blade

Rubber Mower Blade FARM HOME Lawn Mowers (31h,38) 12-6-30 "Our rubber mower blade cuts grass as well or better than steel thanks to the nylon fibers that run through it," says John Chung, representative of Safe-T-Blade, Inc., manufacturer of a new rubber lawn mower blade that virtually eliminates danger to toes and fingers from spinning blades and reduces the danger from thrown rocks and other ob- jects. The combination rubber-nylon blade has a steel mounting insert at center. One size replaces any 17 to 22-in. blade. You simply trim off the ends of the blade to fit. "It'll never rust, chip or break and you never have to sharpen it because as the rubber wears the nylon fibers that do the cutting are exposed. It's the only lawn mower blade that's self-sharpening and self-balancing, requiring no maintenance. It also works better in damp grass because grass won't stick to it as easily," says Chung, noting that the blade virtually eliminates danger to operators. "When the blade strikes an object, it absorbs the impact, greatly reducing the chance of injury and reducing the danger of flying rocks or objects. It also protects the crankshaft" Can be used on riding mowers and also on edgers (it won't chip sidewalks). Sells for $12.
