Title: Works Good In Theory, But...
Product review: For under $10, I figured there was no harm in trying this tool. It *looks* like a great idea and simple to use, however, it didn't work very well for me.I have a push mower and a riding mower, so I started with the push mower's blade first. It's a 20" Sears mower with a 'mulching' blade. The problem I had with the tool is that it's very hard to slide across the blade; perhaps the blade on my lawnmower was too thick for the tool or the small amount of grass on the blade provided too much friction.After struggling quite a bit to get the tool to move across the blade, I eventually got the blade slightly sharp, but the sharpening stone is already quite warn... there's no way I'll be able to do the three blades on my riding mower.I was hoping to avoid using the good 'old file method to sharpen the blades, but I think that might actually be the easier method. The tool is well made and easy to install, but it's a little harder to use than one might think.
