 Good sharpener Sep 10, 2009
Big fan of the the reel sharpener. Once you get the hang of it, it works quickly. This link is very helpful for guiding you through the first time. [...]
 Not bad...but Sep 09, 2009
I bought this and only used it once. Then the handle broke off of my mower. In the 2 times I was able to mow since we used it it seemed to have improved a little, but I was going to give it another round of sharpening before we used it again. So it seems to work ok, but it is a little tedious to do and will not restore a brand new edge.

great product, does just what it should Sep 02, 2009
This saved me a bunch of money on having my reel mower sharpened at a hardware store or golf course here in town. They wanted at least $75, and I had to call a half-dozen places to even get that! For $20 I got this kit which not only let me do it myself pretty easily (does take awhile, and the directions are moderately involved) but also gave me a tip on balancing the screws on my reel mower properly, which I found out they weren't. I loved the hint about tearing a thin strip of newspaper and dangling it in the blades on BOTH sides of the mower, to see if they slice it right up cleanly. If it doesn't even come close, it may not be the blades that need sharpening, it may be that the blade itself needs to be adjusted closer to the cutting surface! All in all a brilliant do-it-yourself product that I'm glad I bought.
super easy! Sep 01, 2009
this product was soooo easy to use, it's almost ridiculous!!!i takes a bit of elbow grease, but well worth it. the price was way below any other web site i'd visited, too.

Cheap and East to Use Jul 06, 2009
If you own a reel-type mower, you're going to need to sharpen the blades at some point. This kit is very reasonably priced and very easy to use. The tools aren't super-high quality; they're about the same level of stamped tool that comes with a low-end motorcycle, but they get the job done just fine.
The process is very simple, but it is somewhat time-consuming; as a consolation to your time invested, it yields noticeably sharper blades.
