Oregon 95-057 Lawn Mower Blade 21-Inch For Craftsman AYP/Poulan & Honda, black

What It Is

The Oregon 95-057 is a 21-inch universal replacement blade for walk-behind mowers, designed for mulching, bagging, or side-discharge use. It fits Craftsman, AYP/Poulan, and Honda models, among others, and is sold under the EGO brand for this listing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your existing blade’s length (center hole to tip) to confirm 21 inches. Verify the center hole diameter (usually 7/8-inch or 1-inch) and the blade’s thickness (0.1875-inch typical). Cross-reference your mower’s model number with Oregon’s fitment chart—this blade replaces OEM numbers like 942-0430, 942-0509, or 4011-92. It fits most Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Honda 21-inch decks, but not all—check your deck’s blade mount (single- or double-hole pattern) as some models require a specific adapter.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Oregon is a reputable aftermarket brand, but this blade is made from hardened steel and may not match OEM sharpness out of the box—consider sharpening before first use.
• Installation: Straightforward with a socket wrench, but you’ll need a blade removal tool or block of wood to prevent spinning. Torque the bolt to 30-40 ft-lbs.
• Common Gotchas: The black coating wears off quickly on gravel or sandy lawns. Also, this blade is not for zero-turn or riding mowers—stick to walk-behind models.
• Balance Check: After installing, always check blade balance (use a balancer or nail) to avoid vibration that can damage the spindle.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly, widely compatible 21-inch blade for a Craftsman, AYP, or Honda walk-behind mower, this is a solid pick. But if you have a high-end Honda with a factory mulching blade, the OEM part may yield better cut quality and longer life. For most DIY homeowners on a standard lawn, it’s a good value.
