After cutting my hands innumberable times, my sweet wife, Ann. bought this for me. It is a hand saver. No more cut hands! Thanks, Ann!

I was on my third pair of leather gloves, when I ordered this. I have since used it almost daily for changing my table saw blades from dado, to rip, to crosscut. Sure have saved some money already. Great product for anyone that has a saw they have to change blades on whether professional or novice.

Great safety device aides blade changes with out the risk of a nicking the knuckles. Why use two wrenches when you can use one with this item instead? Easy to use and does exactly what you think it should; protect yourself from self injury, especially if you are rushing the process of changing blades back and forth. You do have to set the blade height correctly to use this instead of a wrench, but easily worked into anyone's blade change routine.

I bought this to hold the blade so that I could either tighten or loosen the arbor nut on my table saw. It does both. I don't have to find scrap wood or some other object to hold the blade. It works, not much else to say.

I have had one of these for close to 10 years.
I noticed comments that some users had problems with it wearing out, and thought I would add the following...
Although the teeth inside against the blade have worn some when tightening and loosening, I also squeeze the middle with some light force in addition to pushing down with same hand. With this technique I am able to securely hold the blade to get the job done of tightening or loosening the blade with little effort and no nicks or cuts to me. ;-)
I could not imagine using other tools which wrap around the entire blade as they look like a real hassle to use.

The blade-loc works great when loosening the arbor nut, but is useless when tightening the nut. I could pinch the center but that doesn't go very far when your hands hurt like mine do.

I purchased the Blade Loc about a year ago. After trying to use it several times I found that it simply does not work if your saw blades are anywhere near sharp. Great concept but poor execution in the choice of materials from which it is made. Using a wrench and a vicegrip pliers is much easier than messing around with this product ...and creates much less frustration.

I rate this as fair because it does work for awhile. The problem is a good blade cuts up the plastic and overtime there isn't enough left to do the job. All tools wear out but this one did so fairly quickly - less than 20 blades changes.

This should be classed as a consumable item since after a few blade changes it will cease to be effective. However, it does beat using a 2 x 4 and risk damaging your blade. Will I purchase another; probably not. I will continue to look at other options to protect my blades and fingers during a blade change. If you can the blade lock on sale or with a discount coupon it's probably a good buy.
