  • Expertly Sharpens Blades...A Couple Of Tips
Style: Compound Kit Sharpener
I bought an old time hand push mower about 3 years ago. Though I have definitely found it to be inferior to a power mower in its ability to pass over many a tall blade of grass or weed, its superiority in its ease of use and dependability has sold me on them for life. I would never use a power mower again. (Not with my size lawn anyway). The rotary blades on the hand mower do not sharpen, nor do they cut the same way as the single blade design of a power mower. While power mowers can be easily sharpened at an angle with just a file if necessary, the rotary blades of the hand mower are sharpened flat across the face of the blade. Something very difficult to do by hand even if you had the mower completely disassembled. This very simple three piece system consists of a brush, a crank handle, and a small container of grinding compound. The instructions that come with the kit are pretty simple without a lot of detail, but describe it well enough for you to get the job done. Personally, I found the hardest part of the whole job at the very beginning. Removing the small "C" clamp that holds the wheel on. Though the instructions simply stated that one should pry off the C ring by merely "sticking a regular slotted screw driver into the opening" of it, for me there was nothing at all "merely" about it. No amount of prying, twisting, pushing or swearing allowed me to get a grip on the C clamp with just a screwdriver, or even two of them. All I ended up doing for 15 minutes was chase it around the axle. I finally got it off by concluding that I would sacrifice it by ruining it with needle nose pliers, and then putting on a new one. (As it turned out, I easily reshaped the original clamp and reinstalled it). After removing the clamp the wheel slips right off and you have to remove the gear wheel that assures the forward action of the blades when it motion. It is not attached in any way and just lifts off. But one word of warning here. Neither the directions or any other reviewer at the time of this writing mentions that the gear wheel directs its forward motion by the wheel slipping over a little "key" or steel sliver that slides into a slot on the gear shaft. The key is loose after removal of the gear wheel and can easily fall out and be lost while moving the mower around during the sharpening process. Make sure you either keep an eye on it in the shaft, or remove it to a safe place. The actual sharpening process is quite easy, just time consuming. You spread the compound onto the blades with the little brush supplied and then turn the mower back wards with the crank provided. You will get tired, but you can rest and restart. Give it a good ten minutes. The more you crank the better the sharpening job. Oh and the crank does not slip over the entire shaft, it is snug and has to be wiggled on. You may want to tap it with a light hammer or screwdriver so you don't have to keep stopping and pushing it back on during the spinning process. When you're done, the reassembly is very easy, (don't forget the little key if you removed it), and after cleaning up the excess compound, your mower will cut like its a brand new model. It really did make quite a difference for me and I highly recommend this simple kit that will perform the job easily. Push mower blades stay sharp a lot longer than power blades so a sharpening job every other season, or even every three should be enough. Under that schedule, this kit should last you through many years of your mowers use. Highly recommended.... ... show more

  • Lawn mower sharpener experience
Style: Compound Kit Sharpener
Not being able to find anyone to sharpen my reel lawnmower, I had to do it myself! It was pretty easy to do although I had to look at a YouTube video to figure out how to get the wheel off! (It was super easy....I’ve just never done anything like this before.) There is a vast improvement in the sharpness but in hindsight I should have done the rotations a little longer. Good value for the money and worked pretty well. The hardest part was getting the e ring back on....I had to watch a video for that too. ... show more

  • Nice sharpening tool, but the price is not suitable.
Style: Handheld Sharpener
The manual lawn mower I bought before has been used for about three years, and it is also the brand of American lawn mower. Unfortunately, this lawn mower is a little dull recently, so I bought this sharpening tool. The effect is not very satisfactory, it seems to be a little sharp, but it is not very sharp. Personally, the effect is not very ideal, and the price is really expensive. ... show more

  • Works great on our Craftsman brand, 16-inch reel style push mower
Style: Compound Kit Sharpener
Note: Our Craftsman may be a "re-badged" American mower, as Sears Craftsman often did with many of their products. Since we were able to use all components of the kit, including the "crank handle," we feel we received value for the product. (IMHO, for those not in this situation, it is probably more economical to buy automotive valve grinding compound separately, use an electric drill motor, etc., as other reviewers have suggested.) Our mower has the plastic wheels and some other plastic parts, so it is not a very old mower we assume. For the blade sharpening process, the most difficult step is adjusting the blade gap. There are four adjustment screws (two at each end of the reel, toward the back), and the two that close the gap (one on each end of the reel "cutter bar"), were very difficult to adjust. The other two screws (the ones that further open the cutter bar gap) were easy to adjust. ... show more
