Benefits of Our Blades
Best Edge Blades™ cutting edge will last up to 10x longer.
#1 - The average landscaper will sharpen blades every 8 to 15 hours depending on conditions. This relates to sharpening or changing out blades up to a few times a week which adds up to hours of labor and down time. With Best Edge Blades™ your average cutting time per blade is greatly extended (4x to 10x longer) saving hundreds of dollars in labor hours.
#2 - Best Edge Blades™ technology will not get soft after sharpening and will retain the characteristics of a new blade! You can re-sharpen up to 5 times per blade! (Unlike others claiming to have a hard cutting edge only to find out that it loses temper after its first sharpening. This means that up to five sharpenings you will get the same results as a new edge.)
A sharp blade = Grass cuts cleaner and stays healthier!
#3 - Because the cutting edge stays sharp, it has less stress on your equipment which will save on overall wear and tear and maintenance, saving $$$.
#4 - Greatly reduces the need to double cut lawns.
#5 - A sharp blade means reduced emissions making Best Edge Blades™ a green product!
See two blades above, both cutting under the same conditions. Top blade has 1 full season and you can see the corner is rounded and the edges dull. Bottom blade (Best Edge Blade™) has over 1.5 seasons - same conditions yet still sharp and crisp!
The graph below explains the amount of labor saved due to down time and maintenance. Note: This is for a single machine.
Many contractors have 2 - 4 machines per crew which would multiply downtime tremendously. The space between the blue and the red line indicates the downtime.
CONCLUSION
There are several competitors in the market that claim to have a product that stays sharp longer.
After extensive research and discussions with professionals in the marketplace, we have concluded that many competitors products do very little to extend the cutting edge lifespan as claimed!
