Earthwise Lawn Mower Reel Sharpening Kit

Bought this kit to help out my daughter. The mower she had would hardly cut the grass (it was in such bad shape with rust, etc.) After about 10 minutes worth of work with this kit, the mower was cutting grass like a new mower. Great buy...

The biggest misconception about reel mowers is that the spinning reel cuts the grass.

In reality, reel mowers only have one long razor blade at the bottom of the mower.

The spinning blades basically grab the grass and force it against the razor blade like pencil sharper.

Over time, the blade wears down, making the grass cutting chore as difficult as cutting paper with dull scissors.

To sharpen it, you simply apply an abrasive on the reels with a brush then crank.

The abrasive fills the gap between the spinning reel and razor blade.

The grinding action wears down the blade until its razor sharp again.
