Is it only ok for 20" or can it be used with smaller blad** A: 1) It can be used for less-than-20 inch mowers BUT you have to cut it to size with a hack saw. The main part that attaches to the mower and to which you affix the "sanding strip" that sharpens the blades is made of lightweight aluminum. Instructions come with the product. Not a lot of work, but a nuisance that requires an extra tool. If you have a less-than-20 inch mower, You might consider the other kind of sharpening system. The kind where you smear some lapping (also known as "grinding") compound on the blades and back-bar. HINT: They will tell you you have to removed the wheels and move some parts and crank the blades BACKWARDS to sharpen them, but that is not really necessary. YOu can apply the compound and just push the mower normally for several minutes. I've seen those instructions in the owner manual for other brands of reel mowers.2) You should be able to use it with any standard reel mower. I didn't see any reason for it to work with ONLY Scott's reel mowers. I've owned other non-Scott's brand reel mowers before. Not sure what you mean by "hand mowers", though. If you are thinking of something other than a reel-mower I cannot address it. **Q: IF you have used the kit: isn't the sand paper too coarse on its own? Seems there should be a second round of sharpening with a finer grain.** A: No - the sand paper is just right. It helps remove any dirt and mud and other stuff that gets stuck on the blades. The coarse sandpaper makes the cleaning and sharpening fast. The mower I sharpened was old and rusted, and this kit made it sharp and very effective. The mower works great. I recommend you sharpen you mower once a month in the summer if you live in the East Coast to remove dirt and rust build up. I only sharpen it for a few passes and it works great. Good luck. **Q: Do you have extra adhesive backed sandpaper for the 20" sharpener?** A: Yes, but they are out of stock until next week, here is the ASIN # B07G9FP1PJ to look them up next week on Amazon. They are called "Refill Abrasive Strips for 20 inch Scotts Classic Reel Mower Sharpening Kit 3 pack" **Q: Can this be used on a three gang "pull behind" gang mower? Without taking the reels off?** A: I don't know about that but it absolutely did not work for my push reel mower. I ended up taking it in to a sharpening service and paying $65 more to get it done right! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great sharpening product, and easy to use once installed. *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2016* This just arrived this afternoon and I have already cut my grass. I hadn't sharpened my mower since I purchased it about 7 years ago, because the thought of taking the mower apart and using a lapping compound was too daunting. This was much easier to instal, although it did take longer than the [...] video suggested. It is quite a finicky process getting the opening wide enough to slide in the sharpener, and then afterwards to get the blades to touch with the correct amount of resistance, but not too much ( walk along with your screw driver as you are cutting the grass for the first time so you can make mini-adjustments. Also, don't make the mistake I made, pushing it over the grass with the sharpener still attached. It will cut the grass and grind it into a paste on your abrasive strip, possibly ruining it. Walk your mower down the driver or sidewalk. It didn't take more than one pass in each direction to sharpen it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars The Concept Is Good . . . *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017* Not being mechanically inclined, it took me awhile to figure out how to loosen everything up in order to attach the darn thing. It didn't help that I didn't know what all the parts of the mower are called. Wheels and blades are about it. I started late in the afternoon my first try, it started to get dark and I gave up in frustration. Tried again the next day, again in the afternoon, got attacked by mosquitoes, got frustrated and gave up again. Waited for the weekend so I'd have a whole day. My mower is old so the bolts were pretty tight, but a bit of "brute strength" got them loose! Once I got the kit attached, it was fairly easy to push the mower back and forth on concrete so the blades would sharpen. Of course, I had to tighten/loosen the bolts several times to get it just right. Thought I was doing a great job, but it turns out the blades sharpened only on the left and right sides, not in the middle. I discovered this after I took the kit off and got everything all tightened up just right, then tried it out. I don't know of any other way to find out if the blades were sharp enough, short of risking the loss of a finger or two. Being as my mower is so old, I'm pretty sure parts of it are bent or out of wack, and that's why it only got sharp on the sides and not in the middle. I haven't tried putting the kit back on again YET, to see if I can figure out how to get all of the blades, sides AND middle, sharpened, but I will, eventually. I have to wait until the mosquitoes go away for that. All in all, the concept of the sand paper sharpening the blades is good, but getting everything to line up just right (this sounds like Goldilocks & the Three Bears) was pretty tedious and a smidge frustrating for me. I think it might work well on a newer mower - mine is about 17 yrs old. The kit doesn't cost very much so you wouldn't be out a lot of money to try it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works great *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2020* I used this sharpener on my McLane 7 blade gas powered mover. Here are a few tips for using this product. Its similar to back lapping however you run the blades forward with this product.Make sure you clear the surface of the blade sharpener prior to attaching the abrasive strip. I used acetone.Use a cordless or corded drill to run you blade in the forward motion while slowly moving the blades in contact with the sharpener. Be patient, this will take a couple of hours to prep the mover, sharpen the blade and re-assemble the mover. I used all three abrasive strips due to the shape my blade was in. Now my mower blades are as sharp as a kitchen knife. The blades make great contact with the blade knife which is critical for these types of mowers. I used to back lap my mower but I will use this product instead due to being a lot less messy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/7001318-scotts-classic-sharpening-kit-reel-mower](https://www.desertcart.us/products/7001318-scotts-classic-sharpening-kit-reel-mower) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
