I must be doing something wrong. I use at least 1 a day if not more.

I feel lucky to get 1 day out of a blade....... do a lot of curb work. justtried a toro blade that lasted 1.5 days and cost was 4.95, no great deal!

ne1 ever tried the premium ECHO blades??? What about tneir bulk blades(Twice as thick)? Or even the Premium Bulk edger blades? I am thinking about trying them...

 

[script]

Have an echo stick and change the blade about twice a week. I buy the ones at Home Depot, two in a pack for around $3.
