Blade adapter kit
The salesperson made my purchase very easy. The adapter kit is very well made. I am pleased with the whole experience.

Overall the product does what it says. It adapts many different manufacturers mounting shapes to a circle for easier and more accurate balancing. I knocked 1 star off for a couple of reasons. 1. They say they are plastic so they can snap in the hole. I have a John Deere and used that one today. It fits loose and just falls out of you don't hold it. Not sure if the others yet. 2. It is a bit expensive for mostly 3D printed adapters. There are 12 red 3D printed adapters, 2 white plastic adapters and 1 metal adapter. 3. Not all items are labeled with a part number. Only the 12 3D printed items have the part number. 4. One adapter (white one) came absolutely covered in some sort of sticky yellow glue and dirt. It looked used. I cleaned it up but for the price it wasn't a good first impression. MAGNA-MATIC RESPONSE: Hello Vinny, I will list the responses in numbers so it answers each comment. 1. Fitment and how tight they snap it depends on if it is an OEM blade and if the blade hole is worn, if they are fitting that loose the hole may be slightly deformed from use or hitting something with the blade. These odd shaped holes do stretch out a little over time with use and wear. 2. We have to reverse engineer each odd hole that the mower companies make, and these adapters are a specialty and low volume product which is reflected in their price. If we machined them out of metal there would be a greater tolerance variance and the cost would be much higher. 3. The adapters that are not labeled are for very old mowers, like Yazoo, they were made at a time when there were only 2-3 adapters we had to make. We include them in the set but most people will never encounter these old blades anymore. 4. I can only apologize for why one of the Yazoo adapters was dirty. I will have the remaining inventory of these checked to ensure they are clean. Thank you,

It's worth it to buy the complete set at roughly half the cost of the individual pieces because sooner or later, I'll need most if not all of them. I'm a little surprised that all the adapters aren't all made of metal (only one is). Regardless, it's a very complete, high quality, precision crafted, and useful set and a great complement to my MAG-1000G. I appreciate that MAGNA-MATIC has made these adapters available, allowing me to precision-balance virtually any rotary mower blade. Thank you for another well-thought-out product. Magna-Matic says: Thank you for the review - the reason they are plastic is so that we can make the tolerance of the adapter so it snaps into the blade hole. We used to make them all out of metal, but if the shaped hole in the blade is a little worn then the metal ones fit loose.
I have used almost all the adapters Thank-you for your product Michael.
Fast service an well pleased.

Blade hole adapters are for lawn mower blades that do not have a circular hole, these adapters allow you to mount these blades to a MAG-1000 Series Blade Balancer. Note: these adapters can fit other brands, check dimensions of your blade.
