5 out of 5 stars Great Product   June 23, 2007

After adjusting the blades and sharpening them with this product my mower is cutting better than new.

This is like buying a pet rock. It took a few weeks to arrive. Now in hindsight, it was probably a case of the company being shocked that sombody actually was stupid enough to buy this snake oil; in which case they had to scramble to make it (by mixing sand with blue hand cream; throwing in a cheap tool to hand crank). I actually attempted using this stuff and midway through suddenly felt like the boy who bought those x-ray glasses out of the back of a magazine. Save your money for a case of beer to have after mowing the lawn (with a dull reel mower).

I did not believe that brushing the sharpening compound on the blades and turning the crank would make our antique mower work, but it did! In fact it cut the strip of paper just like scissors. Impressive!!!


5 out of 5 stars Excellent -- restored mower to near-perfect cutting ability   May 7, 2007

Not much to say except that the sharpening kit is essentially flawless. Within 20 minutes (includes time for taking off and replacing the wheel) I was able to sharpen the blades to near-factory condition. Now I cut one swath instead of three or four. My cranking arm (read the directions) was a bit tired after 10 minutes, but I needed the exercise. Next time I'll use the other one so I don't look like Popeye.

I recommend this without hesitation.



5 out of 5 stars Use a drill to spin the reel.   April 25, 2007

This kit works great, but if you want to speed the process use a drill with a 1/2" chuck. Just tighten the chuck over the wheel axle that the crank goes on, and run it at a medium speed. This makes it a quick and easy job to get razor sharp blades.
