Lack of strength, 1 April 2009
This review is from: Replacement blade for AXT Rapid 2000/2200 (Tools & Hardware)
This blade cuts well at first but the metal is too soft and dents easily and also blunts quickly. It should be harder and, preferably thicker, to withstand the forces involved in shredding woody material. I was careful to avoid any old tough wood and kept the sizes down to one inch at most but the blades have a very short life. Resharpening with a file enabled me to prolong the use.

A Cutting Edge Review, 6 Oct 2009
This review is from: Replacement blade for AXT Rapid 2000/2200 (Tools & Hardware)
If you have a Bosch AXT Rapid garden shredder and it struggles to chomp up your garden trimmings and/or continually jams then the chances are it needs a new blade. The blade is double sided so make sure that you've already turned it over once before replacing it. I did give the old (original) blade a bit of a sharpen with a grinder but the edge was pretty chewed up and so didn't last very much longer.
This is a genuine Bosch blade. It was cheaper than anyone else including ebay and as always even with Amazon's free delivery it arrived within a few days of ordering. I'd have given it five stars were it not for the fact that I'd be happier if the blades just lasted longer or even forever. I'm getting fed up with the fact that everything these days is designed to be used then thrown away. Oh well, enough ranting. Happy shredding.

A Useless Blade, 29 Sep 2009
This review is from: Replacement blade for AXT Rapid 2000/2200 (Tools & Hardware)
I am very very disappointed with Bosch.
This blade is useless! It blunts and dents almost immediately from end of season shrubby prunings that are no more than half an inch thick and becomes useless. I personally like the design of the shredder but Bosch seem to have lost the plot by producing a blade that only leaves me feeling that I have wasted my money.
"Don't spoil the ship for a ha'peth of tar" comes to mind. But sadly, that's exactly what Bosch have done by producing this useless blade.
