I received both blades with the order I received. The new blades made the clippers work like new ones.

I just returned from out of town and just now looked at the blade. Yes, it really is the 8700 model . . . it says so on the blade. I love it.

It works fine with the blade they give you or any other by this B&D. I too had trouble finding extra blades for it that would fit. There is a screw whole on the bottom that I believe can be used for fitment of other companys blades but do not remember if the corresponding bolt came with or not. It shouldn't be too hard to find one if not. Hope this helps.

Hi there. I have not disassembled my blade yet, but I saw some pictures of a fully disassembled one under the customer review pictures here on amazon.

I have searched and searched, but cannot find anywhere that sells replacement blades. I've had mine for a couple years now, and use it regularly. I used it a whole lot when I first got it. The blades are still good. I wish there were a way to replace the blades, but it looks like there is not.

You should get two blades. They are designed to cut tall grass with minimal clogging. While the blades have a straight edge, they also have a high lift edge with teeth. This upper side with teeth is designed to keep the under side of the deck from grass build up. Truly out performs any original factory blade and are quite heavy duty. I've even cut wet grass when the original blades would not. You should be happy with these blades!

Yes it does. It sits right above the top of the blade. I have never used it so I cant comment on how it works.

Amazon has the best price anyway and it clearly states which model to replace it with. I just replaced my blades with amazon and it came as one piece.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

This saw didn't come with any blades when I purchased it. It has limited storage for 3 blades. It accepts BOTH U-shank and T-shank blades, which is great! Heather, blades are usually selected for material and thickness. There aren't any "all-purpose" blades. That's probably why this saw doesn't include any.

You need a 3 blade. This photo isn't the right one. Call Amazon. The 3 blade are also larger. And hey I love mine.

Joseph Question when the blades are fully locked onto the shaft, the blades still rattle?? Sounds like there's a gap most likely due to the head not fully screwed onto the shaft, did you receive the blade tool with your package use it to apply the broad head. If no examine the clip make sure it is in place between the head and shaft, Mine do not slip nor raddle Keep me posted I'm interested in what is creating the bouncing blades. TY

Reviews say that the 3 blade is better, which is why I ordered it. Amz says they will replace the 2 blade they sent me & swap it out w/the 3 blade. I don't know much else, I suspect the more expensive 3 blade will be more powerful, I should know more soon.

One blade included, which I really didn't like. If you're new to double edge shaving, get a blade sampler pack, so that you can try a number of blades and find which works best for you (because blades perform differently for every one). My recomendation: Astra. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_hpc?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Blade%20Sampler&node;=3760901

It should have two blades, and yes, we have had the same problem with ours; I did a little bending of the blades, as I noticed when they are installed in the handle, there is a gap between them. So the bending seemed to coax them closer together. Never the less, this newer item isn't as good as the old one we had, which lasted for years and was a dependable knife.

In fact that is a very good and interesting question. Although I have used this product for over 12 years and have adjusted the blades many time over to provide me with a quality and close cut, I have never tried or experimented with this guides. I would imagine that this product's manufacture guidelines and recommendations for replacement components would have to be in accordance with the products specifications. So I don't think that you can place an oversize guide component on a small blade head and vice-a-versa. I truly think that this question would be best left for the ones who developed the product and that would ANDiIS. Contact their customer service department by phone or online.
