Transcript: Hi, Wayne here from Sears PartsDirect and today we're going to talk about different types of blades used on walk-behind lawn mowers. Your mower probably came with one of these common types of blades when you bought it. Not all of the blades we’ll talk about today are compatible with every mower. Check your owner's manual for a list of optional blades to avoid problems. This standard blade has straight sides and a slight upward curve along the back edge. The curve helps blow clippings out through the side discharge chute or into a collection bag. Some mowers need the curved tips of a high-lift blade to help push grass clippings up and out through a side-discharge bagger chute. This blade is also called a 2-in-1 because it gives you the option to send the grass clippings out the side chute or into a bag. The mulching blade looks a bit different. Its contoured shape and raised blade tips swirl the grass clippings under the mower. The blade’s long cutting edges chop the grass clippings into small pieces that break down faster. Mulching blades work best when you cover the side discharge and collection bag holes, so clippings are thoroughly chopped before falling down onto the lawn. On some mowers with a rear bag chute, you can also use a collection bag with the mulching blade installed. Some mowers use a standard-issue 3-in-1 blade that gives you the option to side discharge, bag or mulch. The curved blade tips provide lift for discharge and bagging, while the contoured shape and long cutting edges shred grass into mulch. Snapper Ninja mowers use this unique style of blade that has 6 cutting surfaces designed to finely cut grass clippings into mulch. Ninja blades also help lift grass clippings when bagging. Although this blade looks cool, you can't use it on every mower. It's only designed for compatible Snapper Ninja mowers. Now we’ll talk about some specialty blades that are available for certain mowers. Some after-market manufacturers offer 3-in-1 and mulching blades with slots on the side that face up, away from the ground. The slots help control airflow under the mower so grass clippings are recut more often—making finer mulch. A dethatching blade uses spring-loaded prongs or nylon strands to rake and dethatch your lawn. Only use this blade to remove thatch or to prepare your lawn for overseeding. It’s definitely not for regular use. Replace any worn prongs or nylon strands before each use. Now for some maintenance tips. Remember to keep your mower blade clean and sharp, and replace it often. To make blade replacement easier, use this universal blade removal tool that holds the blade in place when you remove and reinstall the blade bolt. Using this tool is easier and safer than using a block of wood or your hand to hold the blade. Also, keep your mower deck clean and use a deck lubricant for the best mulching and discharge.
