This is like buying a pet rock. It took a few weeks to arrive. Now in hindsight, it was probably a case of the company being shocked that sombody actually was stupid enough to buy this snake oil; in which case they had to scramble to make it (by mixing sand with blue hand cream; throwing in a cheap tool to hand crank). I actually attempted using this stuff and midway through suddenly felt like the boy who bought those x-ray glasses out of the back of a magazine. Save your money for a case of beer to have after mowing the lawn (with a dull reel mower).

Go to your auto parts store and get some grinding compound for a fraction of the cost.
Also, for a much quicker sharpening session, remove both wheels, swap the gears so that the reel turns backwards, apply the compound, and walk the mower up and down the driveway. The backwards operation provides the backlapping to sharpen the reel and blade. Clean up the excess, and swap the gears back. Total time: less than 10 minutes.

Im not going to rant and rave about this product since I somewhat regret buying a reel mower in the first place (long story!).Yes, the directions were easy to understand, and it did seem to make somewhat of a difference in the sharpness of the blade.Again, the product was ok..suitable, but nothing to write home about.
