Blademate, a Safer & Easier Way to Change Lawnmower Blades
Portland, Oregon: April 12, 2007 - Oregon Cutting Systems Group (OCSG), a unit of Blount Inc., through an exclusive agreement with Myob Landscape, Inc. will proudly distribute the Blademate wrench. The Blademate (part# 42-077) makes changing lawn mower blades on commercial walk-behind mowers safer, easier and faster. The wrench, constructed of 10 gauge steel, is a telescopic 1" bar with 15/16 impact sockets mounted on fixed socket adaptors on each end. To use the Blademate, simply place it on the mower deck top spindle nuts, the wrench acts like a third arm, the sockets hold the spindle nuts firmly in place while the telescopic bar keeps the wrench from turning. "The Blademate is a safe & efficient way to change commercial lawn mower blades. It is a great addition to our product line," says Dale Marcell, Product Line Manager for Outdoor Equipment Products.
