Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A definite necessity
This sharpening kit is a definite necessity for reel mower users. The directions are easy to follow, and it makes sharpening the blades easy and convenient. I was brand new to reel mowers, and had never seen a anyone sharpen or use one before, but I had no problems with this kit at all. Using this kit, I have been getting a great cut.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - blade sharpener
This is a simple low teck product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. It sharpens the blades on a reel type mower. My mower's blades were not in horrible condition and I cannot comment on how this product would perform on severly damaged blades. I was satisfied with the product, the instructions and the price.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Convenient kit - traditional approach made simple
This kit is essentially what anyone can do on their own but it is conveniently packaged. The goop everyone is referring to is essentially the same as automotive valve grinding compound (which you can get at most auto parts stores). I like the idea of using a power drill to turn the reel while it sharpens - so here's an alternative for anyone who feels like taking a DIY approach:

1. Prop up the lawn mower so you can turn the reel by twirling the wheels.

2. Check the blades for nicks and burrs. If you find any, remove them with a file (hold file flat against blade and push away from spindle). I use a sharpening stone that fits my power drill but that's b/c I'm lazy.

3. Check your bar alignment, it'll be obvious if it's off - it will hit the guide bar. ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Crank sharpener for manual reel mowers.
I only gave it three stars and perhaps I'm not being fair but here's why I'm not pleased with it: I bought the Gilmour 20" reel mower from Amazon.com and at the time of my purchase, they suggested I buy the sharpening kit too. Well, the hand crank from the sharpening kit does not fit the Gilmour mower. I'm sure it fits all the rest and probably works fine but I'm a bit ticked off at Amazon suggesting that I buy it. PS: The Gilmour did a great job for 15 - 20 cuts and then since then it seems like it needs to be sharpened because it's missing too much of the grass.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great product
