Sharpener/Balancer

Would Recommend

I've had the chance to use the sharpener, it seems to be of a different angle than that of the original blade. While still usable, (and I did), I would like it to be of the same angle as the blade.

Easy to use, consistent results

Would Recommend

I use to sharpen my blade by hand with a file, but I got a new drill recently and wanted to give this a try. So far I've used it 3 times and it's quicker and more consistent than trying to do it by hand. I have also noticed my cut quality is a nicer and cleaner after using this to sharpen my blade.

grind and balance

Would Recommend

worth the cash, saves on buying blades or paying someone to grind them, ability to grind in place if you can lift the machine (riding lawn mower) balance is sensitive, worth the investment

Meets expectations

Would Recommend

Seems to be OK. Big thing is to not over-sharpen the blade. No need to get surgical on the grass. Quick shine should do the trick. The balancer is a bit cumbersome, but highly effective albeit rudimentary to determine balance.

Awesome sharpener

Would Recommend

Purchased sharpener so I wouldn't have to remove blades from mower. Exceeded expectations, I get a nice clean lawn without the hassle of removing my mower deck. Great product.

Works well for residential mower

Would Recommend

Simple and straight forward. A bench vise is really necessary to hold the blade in place to do it right.

Not as easy as it looks

Would Not Recommend

Tried to sharpen the blades but doesn’t work well on curves. It only cost $8 a blade to sharpen at the local shop. Takes to long to sharpen and then you have to be sure it’s balanced.

This is Okay

Would Recommend

Easy to use. If you don't have a bench grinder or angle grinder, this is a suitable alternative.
