Bladetech Multi-Fit Polished
Overview
The Bladetech Multi-Fit Polished Steel Runners can flawlessly swap between Bauer's Tuuk Lightspeed Edge and PowerFly holders allowing players and teams to use this single runner between both quick-release trigger holders on the fly! They also feature Flex Force Technology, which makes Bladetech unlike any other replacement steel on the market. Flex Force Technology provides hockey players with both performance and health benefits. The runner has a unique design where the blade flexes up into the holder, absorbing and storing the vertical energy before exploding it back out during the stride extension.
This new technology increases player speed and acceleration, as well as absorbs vertical energy that would normally be absorbed by the knee joint. This ultimately reduces stress on the knees while increasing the efficiency of each stride, slowing down player fatigue. Bladetech only uses the highest quality of steel and finishes the surface with a high polish, giving players a longer glide and sharpening life.
Lastly, the runners come pre-profiled so that the blades maintain better ice contact in all skating positions. This improves stability, glide, acceleration, stopping and turning over standard stock profiles.
IW can have your skate blades delivered profiled, sharpened, and game-ready with Elite Blade Performance technology! Choose custom profiles like Double, Triple, Quad, SCS, and Polaris to boost speed, stability, and agility. We offer various sharpening options and an Express Mail-In service.

| BLADETECH MULTI-FIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
|
|---|---|
| Please follow these steps carefully for installation: |
|
| 1.) Ensure the front hook is fully inserted first. | |
| 2.) Line up the back hook, but do not push in yet. | |
| 3.) Pull the trigger fully with one hand. | |
| 4.) With other hand you can now push the heel of the blade into the holder fully. | |
| 5.) Make sure the blade goes all the way in before you release the trigger. | |
| 6.) Give the skate a tap on a carpet, or rubber piece, to make sure that everything is locked and seated correctly. | |
| 7.) You can test everything is locked by trying to pull the blade out. | |
| The trigger will return to the closed position when you release by hand, or when you tap on the carpet. With Bladetech steel, sometimes the trigger will actually be providing more back tension. The above steps are always the best process to install blades. Blades should NEVER be "slammed" into the holder, without engaging the trigger by hand. That will cause abrasive and wear on the holder over time. |

Sizing Chart
| HOW TO FIND YOUR SKATE BLADE SIZE | |
|---|---|
| Take your current hockey skates and identify the three-digit number, which can be found on either the heel side of your blade holder or on the blades themselves. Locate your three-digit number in the Bauer Edge and PowerFly chart below to find your Bladetech Runner size. If for any reason you cannot locate the number, see our How to Size a Hockey Skate Blade and Holder article for a more in-depth approach to skate blade sizing and skate blade compatibility. |
