good product December 26, 2008

The kit is good and did the trick. I would have liked more complete instructions on how to disassemble the lawnmower wheel in order to fasten the cranking tool.

Annoying... November 24, 2008
C. Tin (Seattle)
Honestly it was really annoying for me to sharpen the blades on my mower. I thought it'd be straight forward but apparently I'm pretty retarded when it comes to this mower and not making a mess. =P

Awesome November 17, 2008
Don Keyhotay (Yorktown, VA)
This is a great product. The sharpening instructions where very easy to understand, and after I figured out that the hand crank could be replaced with a 1/2 inch chuck electric drill, I was able to sharpen my used, garage sale mower in about 5 minutes.

reel lawnmower sharpening kit October 24, 2008
David C. Haas (Fayetteville, NY USA)
This product is the standard kit for sharpening push reel lawnmowers manufactured by the American Lawn Mower company (a.k.a. Great States mowers). It does the job of sharpening the blades as expected. With this kit, I sharpen the five blades on the mower in about ten minutes.

Sharpen your reel mower October 18, 2008
J. Thorne (Indiana)
I have a Craftsman reel mower thats about 30 years old. It wasn't used for 18 years and the blade needed sharpened. I came across this sharpening kit and even though its for American Lawn Mower brand reel mowers it worked fantastic for mine. The handle to spin the blade backwards didn't work like it would for American Lawn Mower brand ones, but with a little modification it worked great. The blade is now extremely sharp and shiny. Cuts the grass cleanly and smoothly. It will last you several sharpenings. For the few times you need to sharpen your blades, I would guess it will last me more than 5 years.
