XINKE 2-Pack 9" 3-Side Edger Star Blades 5/8" Hole — Heat-Treated, 3 Rounded Teeth

XINKE 2-Pack 9" 3-side edger star blades with a 5/8" center hole are durable replacement blades designed to fit MTD/Troy-Bilt TB554 and TEB515 edgers and several compatible models.

These replacement blades are built for homeowners and landscapers who need a dependable, heat-treated cutting edge for edging, trenching, and tackling thicker vegetation around lawns and beds. Each blade is 9 inches wide with a 5/8" center hole and three rounded cutting teeth, manufactured to resist bending and fracturing under regular use. The set replaces OEM part numbers such as 781-0748, 781-0748-0637, 490-105-M017, 40-009, and 981-0748, making it an easy swap when refreshing worn or damaged edger blades.

How are these blades constructed and what makes them durable?

Each XINKE blade undergoes heat treatment to improve strength and reduce the chance of bending or breaking during normal use. The three rounded teeth and uniform thickness are intended to balance cutting performance with longevity, while the non-sharpened edges suit common edger operations without aggressive burrs.

• Heat treated for improved toughness and wear resistance
• 0.09" thickness to resist bending under load
• 3 rounded teeth to manage roots, weeds, and turf edges
• Non-sharpened profile reduces chipping from hidden obstructions

How will these blades perform in typical yard tasks?

These blades are designed for edging, shallow trenching, and cutting through grassy or weedy borders rather than heavy stump removal. Their shape and strength help clear dense vegetation and maintain neat lawn edges when installed correctly and used at recommended RPMs for your machine.

• Good for defining lawn edges and cutting through thick grass
• Helps clear stubborn weeds and light brush around beds
• Suitable for light trenching tasks for irrigation or border lines
• Not intended as a replacement for heavy-duty stump or root removal tools

How do I install and maintain the replacement blade safely?

Installation is straightforward for users familiar with small-engine equipment; always disconnect the spark plug and consult your machine manual. Routine inspection and torqueing of the mounting hardware will keep the blade secure; replace if you notice excessive wear, cracks, or deformation.

• Always disconnect power source before changing blades
• Match center hole (5/8") and blade orientation to OEM instructions
• Torque mounting nut to manufacturer’s specification; check regularly
• Inspect for cracks, bends, or missing teeth and replace when damaged
