A low-energy blade system (12) having a quick-change attachment for a lawn maintenance tool (10) is provided. The low-energy blade system (12) requires a reduced amount of energy to rotate the blade system. The blade system includes a shell (30), a mounting plate (32) attached to the shell, a plurality of quick-attach mechanisms (36), and a separate cutting blade (34) attachable to each of the quick-attach mechanisms (36). Each quick-attach mechanism (36) allows a cutting blade (34) to be attached to the mounting plate (32) without the need for external tools, such as screwdriver, wrench, ratchet, or the like.
