  • Revive an old reel mower
Style: Compound Kit Sharpener
Pardon the length of this review, but I wanted to give an honest review of this product that will be helpful when deciding to purchase. This sharpening kit will revive your old reel mower! I purchased a used Great Lakes Reel Mower and noticed the blades to be dull and rusted. I purchased this kit on Amazon last summer and followed the instructions as directed. After finishing the sharpening process, the reel and cutter blade where shiny gray and sharp and ready to start mowing. I noticed a definite difference in the ease of mowing once I was using sharp blades. I sharpened the mower again this spring (second time using the kit) and it is again sharp as can be. There is probably enough compound to last me ten seasons of annual sharpening, so well worth the money. All of this being said, it is manual labor to sharpen your reel mower with this kit. Don't expect it to be easy, as you will be the power behind the sharpening process. As you crank the reel around for 5 - 10 minutes, you'll want to often change arms as your arm will get tired. Nonetheless, in the end, you get a excellent result that cost only $15 for the kit and will last 10 sharpenings (so $1.50 per time) compared to spending $60+ for a professional sharpening each time! I'm in my young 30's (male) and had no trouble with the manual labor part of the sharpening, but I could see this being a problem for some people. If this is the case - find a son, neighbor, or anyone willing to spend 5-10 minutes to sharpen your mower - it's well worth it. In addition to sharpening the mower, the instruction manual provides detailed instructions on how to adjust the blades of your mower (which is arguably more important). A sharp blade won't cut well if it is not aligned properly. Therefore, this kit is the perfect package in teaching you how to sharpen the blade and then how to align it properly. If you follow all these instructions, you will have a reel mower that easily powers through your lawn with little effort. The people that complain that a reel mower is either too hard to push or doesn't cut well do not have a sharp blade and do not have the reel aligned properly. My wife can easily mow our yard with our 25 pound reel mower easier than a gas mower. Not only that, it is fun to mow! I hope this provides some help in deciding whether or not to buy this product. I have been very happy with it. I will continue to use it every spring to make sure my mower is in the best shape for the coming mowing season. ... show more

  • Simple and cheap
Style: Compound Kit Sharpener
My earth wise mower needed sharpening. I tried buying everything to do this like valve lapping compound and a giant deep well socket and of course I forgot to get an adapter so I could chuck it to the drill. Even without the adapter and with a cheap socket set I'm in for 2 to 3 times the price of the kit. So I just ordered the kit and it seems to work relatively well. I guess the most annoying part is the cleanup and bed knife adjustment. Neither of those things are going to be better with the other system. ... show more

  • Reasonable for the price
Style: Handheld Sharpener
Extremely necessary tool if you're going to keep a reel mower in good condition. Compact and simple to use, but inevitably loud. Lost a star because it's not fully stable when in use on the blades, and when it wobbled, I cut my hand on the reel (which it had done a great job of sharpening). I recommend wearing leather gloves to use. ... show more
