Is the blade soldered to the rod?

It is welded to the rod and very well built. I've use this to start post holes and have hit many rocks and roots that stopped it in its tracks but never damaged it.

it is welded to the center shaft. It is a high quality tool that should last a long time. I have purchased two of them over the years and they have lasted a long time.

The blade is welded to the rod. I used it to auger holes through 5" of road base that included stones. Worked like a charm. However, with that type of soil and stone it did require a drill with a side grip, so it did not twist your wrist when it caught a stone.

It looks like all one piece. It is a very solid and substantial tool. I think it will last a lifetime!

Trisha T., The blade assembly that I received did not have a screw holding the blades to the main shaft. The blade assembly was pressed together on regular cold steel. This accounts for the rusting on the end of the shaft.I also use my blender daily.

I think so. There is a small screw at each end that holds the rod, but I didn't unscrew it.

I used a razor blade, it will not harm the rod since the exposure of the metal is how the rod does it's job.

The arm is metal, and the cutting blade is stainless steel, which can be replaced when necessary! Just remove the three screws and you've got!

It appears to be from the blade, but who knows for sure. What I CAN say is its an incredibly sharp and durable blade for the price, so I can only assume it IS clay tempered. The hamon suggests it is too.

Yes it is. Nice low carbon blade that is stainless steel like and it holds the edge so far.

Im not an expert on swords but If your asking if the blade is one whole piece then yea I believe it is. I can see the screw that holds the blade into the inside of the handle so I believe it is full tang

No. The knives go in parallel to the rods so the rods surround the blades. Most of our knives are very sharp and I have not seen any damage to the rods. We have two and love them both.

When the saw blade is attached, it is fixed and all sawing motion is supplied by the operator moving the pole. And, be careful the saw blade teeth are extremely sharp ! This is one of the finest garden tools that I have owned. Jackhammer

Probably, but not sure. It appears that the heated blade for cutting can be detached (by removing the screws holding it on), and it appears that if you can get a soldering tip that fits, the tip could be attached in place of the blade.

No it is not, it is welded on. You could have it cut off. Excellent board very sturdy.

I don't believe the handle was made to be replaced, as it is molded onto the blade. There are no screws, rivets, bolts etc on the handle. I suppose someone with the right tools, know how and methods would be able to remove the current handle and manufacture another in its place. A job not for the average user I'd say.

The blade bar was connected. From what I can remember everything came ready to go. I did order several lawn tools around the same time so don't be mad at me if I am wrong! Haha

the blade is on the arbor. Haven't used it yet but it looks to be decent blade. Carbide, fairly thin kerf. But yes there is a blade.

yes and no...the edge is beveled and is good for heavy work, however the handle needs to be finished more...i used danish oil and beeswax to get it waterproof...Also the blade is carbon steel and will RUST if not wiped dry after every use...its a good deal for the money overall.

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.
