Folks, stay away from these canned sharpeners for steel edged blades. For my axes, hatchets, tomahawks and mowers I use stone and oil. You can buy varying coarse stones and different types but if you go with the lay of the blade then you won’t lose,

Raising height cuts closer to ground? Lowest cutting height means what? I want the mower to cut as close to the ground as possible, so what position on the roller?

Mine didn't come with e clips and the groove doesn't have a slit to put e ring on. Bummer😔

I got a notification about a new video today but it is labeled "private".

This is the cheap reel mower of the America that made in China, this is.junk

The product is useless and does not sharpen the blades as advertised.

Craftsman has zero videos I could find about how to get both sides of the handle over the posts. Your video was helpful. Thank you!

You did a marvelous job explaining it very easy…thank you

No E rings with mine

my mower doesnt have grooves…

With this instruction somebody's going to ATTEMPT to bent the bottom part, their hand slide into the blade, and you got a MAJOR accident. I rated it ZERO for that alone.

Those having a hard time with the handle, just put it right up against your stomach (like in the video) and pull. Goes right in.

What about the stuff that you use with a brush and handle to turn the blades? Would this work better?

Mines didn't come with e rings 😩

Will it hurt the reel mower if you raise that roller to medium and lowering the blades all the way? It is a lot easier to push but don't want to damage it.

The problem is when i get it to cut paper then its too tight and won't spin? So im at a loss. Also the cheap plastic roller and bracket for height adjustment broke so I just threw it in the garbage, made in China,what a joke "American lawn mower company"......

I did what you said then the instructions are actually completely the opposite so just was a waste of time following this

Yes for women is little hard to putting the handle in, but I asked my good friend guy he was so easy puted in. Loved this product 👏

So hard to putting handles in impossible 😪

This video needs to be re-done, not skipping any parts and showing the whole thing from start to finish… Including better camera angles. His arms and hands were obstructing everything and there was no need to zoom out to show his face.

Thanx for the help.

A mistake was made when filming this video on the direction you should be turning. When sharpening a reel mower blade with the SK-1 Reel Mower Blade Sharpening Kit, you need to turn the reel counterclockwise. This backward motion ensures that the blades grind against the cutting bar effectively, allowing the lapping compound to hone them to a sharp edge. Repeating this process several times ensures an even and efficient sharpening of the blades.

Just a heads-up for everyone using our reel mowers: Your mower may or may not come with e-rings. We've recently decided to move away from including them in the package, as they aren't essential for the mower's functionality. If you don't find e-rings in your box, don't worry-your mower will still work perfectly without them!

Also, If you're having a hard time attaching the handle to the mower, try loosening the wing nuts first. This will reduce tension and make it easier to manipulate the angles and attach the handles to the post. Once the handles are in place, you can proceed to tighten the wing nuts.

What a great video. Thanks. American Lawn Mower Co. I love this company. Just so happy with my 5 blade 14 inch. Can't wait to get a 7 blade 16 inch in the future. Way-to-go!

This is all so extra & unnecessary to do smh

I can't do that's too difficult for my carpal tunnel, now I got to pay my neighbor to do that.

You didn’t say a word about retightening the adjustment screws ?

I wish every single piece of furniture or item from Amazon had a helper like this!! Much needed

Thank you!!!

Up until 3:35 it only shows how to move the bedknife then immediately he is tightening the 4 screws but doesn't explain what they are or what they're doing.

I thought this model also had 3 adjustment holes behind each wheel.

I may have an older model, but mine came with no E ring.

I ended up dulling my blades with this sharpener. They have more of a rounded taper now. I can't help but think it was user error. Is there a strategy other than 'slide back and forth' to sharpen the edges?

Do you do this before the backslap method or before? Are both necessary?

Yes- no E rings????

I didn’t either

I have a Bauer and no green indicator light, would it be the same procedure.

he cranks it clockwise because he has removed the left wheel; however, the instructions with the kit (and the subtitles) say counterclockwise, because they assume you have taken off the right wheel? No matter. What is a pawl? Kit instructions make a big deal not to lose it.... How to clean brush? Otherwise, good video.

That looks very intuitive. Great demonstration.

This product is insane to try and put together. You have to both be strong enough to bend the bar to fit it into the second hole, but you ALSO have to be less than an inch away from the blades! Thats a 2 for 1 right there.

Just ordered that sharpener. I bought a used 3 reel gang mower and I was scratching my head on how to renew the mowers.

I will try the Tourniquet trick to get handle on pegs- as Mentioned by comments. Lame directions -

And why did you find it necessary to remove the handle? You could have just flipped them over out of the way.

You need closer up views when explaining the settings

Tahank you. Helpful.

I just got mine yesterday, and it didn't come with E rings

You don't explain what you're doing with the 4 screws on top. What are they for, and can they be adjusted without loosening the side bolts?
