Installed these on a riding mower kzread.infoUgkxetgfkJxfdT_B2vGYP-uNTLaBbim9OKTD . They were sharp out of the box, although I've never liked blade edges that were coated...not quite as sharp as I personally want. Using my belt sander, I removed the coating from the cutting edges and refined the edge enough to shave with them. So far, after three runs, these blades are holding up as expected. Even after hitting a few fallen 1/2 inch or so branches, the edges are still sharp as heck. No edge dings, no warping, etc. As far as installing them, the cutouts were of the proper size and shape to fit my aging Craftsman mower. Very satisfied.

Thank you and GREAT Advice!

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble kzread.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

Good stuff. How would you go about assembling a reverse (or flip-down instead of up) wall mount? The same folding brackets could be reversed but then the table would hang below them when flipped down instead of resting on top of the brackets. I need it to be flip-down because I need more length than is possible from bracket height to floor and can get more height for that by doing it reverse and pushing the table up against the wall (bracket to ceiling greater length) when not in use. It's for a fairly small garage to use as an extension table for rip cuts with table saw (also a folding model). Don't know if reverse-orientation folding brackets exist or a workaround to this.
