Will this blade tighten up the blade assembly enough to prevent leaks?

Yes, if it is leaking around the seal and the seal is good shape. Anyway, if it is leaking thru the shaft, you will need a wrench to replace the cutter assembly. P.S. Use original replacement parts. Aftermarket parts are not as good as the Vitamix. Also, the wrench allows for a good cleaning every 3 or 4 months if you use it often.

Yes. It is designed for both removal and installation of the blade assembly. Makes the job an easy task.

Yes, I bought one to fix the problem and wondered why I waited so long to do so. If the leaking is caused by a loose assembly then this will fix it.

Yes.... But you has to tighten vary tight or it will just loosen itself. You are better of using dewalt blades ..

It has a small hole in the bottom yes but it has something much like that of a bottle cap where you twist the blades in securely so it doesn't leak. I assure you won't have a problem as long as it's on there right. I hope this helps

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.

Hi Candace, if you have the type of bit needed to tighten your knife all good no special tool needed. I have a knife I used an allen wrench to tighten. The knife you are asking about has not gone loose on me yet, looks like it takes a star bit. I like this knife feels solid and sturdy. I bought the pearl Godfather blade darn thing comes loose so easy.

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

If there is leakage this is not the part to be changed. This part is on the motor. leaks will be coming from the blade area or the cup.

I have had no issues with the blade falling out as long as it is seated correctly. Check by hand when tool is unplugged if blade is tight.

Yes. This is a problem with the EAB and EAB Lite. Standard blades (like Stanley, Lenox Gold, and Irwin) will screw in securely, but they wobble. The thicker blades are contractor blades; the ones I buy are made under the SuperKnife brand.

if the blades are the same as the first yes it should fit now the closeness of the cut may differ then u would have to make adjustments to it

Yes it will fit...but this blade wears fast. The hard plastic nubs at the bottom of the blade stops fitting and slips. I used it alot but it doesn't last!

I would think so, unless something's wrong with the blade itself. If the blade's not bent, then the skirt should tighten it sufficiently. Plastic closure tips on the inside of my old skirt started to break off, so I couldn't tighten it anymore. The new skirt resolved that problem. Hope a new skirt solves your problem!

Any blade that has a V notch -- not a circle of metal -- in the attachment side will fit. And the spring on the blade keeper is strong but doesn't take a lot of pressure. If that's a concern, get 1 of those tools without the quick-change feature. They use an Allen wrench so are much slower to change.

Not exactly. I had to drill out the balancer to fit the hold pin. The blades were fine.

It should.The shaft has a star drive while the blender itself has a 4 sided post. This enables the blade to fit securely. I think it will do fine.

yes...it should fit because you can feed the handle which is narrow....the issue is you will end up hanging the blade over the top and the handle has to be balanced to allow it to stay.

I have a SD-YD250 and bought this blade, the fit is a bit sloppy. Though it works, it does not fit snug like it should and I am certain it will wear out the shaft after some time.
