Do the blades lock in place?

No, it's not a locker. There is just a spring that keeps them from folding in, similar to a Swiss army or other standard folder.

No, they do not. It's a good solid knife and I've had no problem with the blades closing unexpectedly, but they do NOT lock.

I agree with other people that the knife does not lock, but it is a solid knife to work with.

No, the blade fold open and closed. They do not lock in position once opened.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

No, but they have a "Y" shape that matched perfectly with my 42 inch Troy-bilt six point star mount. It might look like a mis-match, but if you have the common six point star mount, the blades will attach easily and securely.

Yes they do. You just rotate the blades to a wide open position and they come apart. No tools needed.

No, the blades are attached by the supplied allen key. The next model up may have the quick release feature.

No it does not have a lock. The handle is rivetedto the blade pretty tightly thought.

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

Yes, the lever does lock into place but I will tell you something about these clippers, I bought 2 pair hoping that they would work and they never did. I sent both pair of andis clippers back in a 2 weeks spand.

They do not lock ...but they are tight so they don't collapse unless you want them to. I'm very happy with them ..there made well.

I have had no need to remove the blades, but did check yesterday and they are secured with a bolts and nuts as stated below.

yes. the knife has the regular piece of metal that set behind the blade once it is opened. on mine it locks half way if you open it slowly but if you open it halfway and then swing it it will lock all the way by it self.

YES!!!! :-) However the instructions are NOT clear. These are spring loaded and you have to stretch them to fit over the blade. I almost returned them and am SO thankful that I read some of the other comments and tried again. Start at the back and pull forward until it snaps into place - actually opposite of most others. :-) Hope this helps!!

YES ! With the switch on the body you may select either "Clockwise" or "Counter Clockwise" rotation of the blades.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

Yes. The two halves slide inside each other and there is a button that pops into one of two positions depending what angle you want your blades at. You can't go wrong with this paddle for the price.

No, as I remember, the blades just clamp into position, a great improvement.
