This tool works, but just isn’t very efficient. You’d be much better off with a grinder and belt sander.
I attempted to use this and got somewhat decent results, however I almost drained my entire drill battery on just 2 of my blades. I then put the product down and fired up my grinder and finished all 3 blades in just a few minutes.
For someone with very little tools, this may be a decent option for sharpening your blades, but there are methods out there much easier than this. And without a pretty powerful drill and vice to hold your blades, this tool will give you a run for your money.
The balancer is neat, though.

Pointless for sharpening but the balancer is quite useful
The sharpener is jumpy at best it’s not designed for a mulching blade and the little plastic backing washer gets shaved away almost immediately making the tool useless. A straight file and a vice works so much better. However the little Balance checker is wonderfully useful. If your blade is not balanced it Will not cut right and it will wear out your motor and bearings a lot faster. I would pay seven dollars just for the balancer it is so easy to use. Just make sure there is no air blowing on the blade when you check it

So I bought this sharpening kit because I swear it would have been easier to cut my lawn with a pair of scissors(ok so maybe my weed eater but still) than with my lawn mower with the blade in the condition it was in. I could have bought a new blade but I figured I would get this so I dont have to keep buying new blades. Worked well I just wish I had a drill with more rpms still worked though and now my lawn mower works like a champ.

I sharpened a regular lawn mower blade and a mulching blade. I found it easier to control the sharpener by first setting my drill on the lower speed (400 rpm max), making several passes, and then changing the setting on the drill to the higher speed (1500 rpm). I did not attempt to use the sharpener on any rounded areas because of the increased difficulty, probably much more wear and tear on the stone, and it is easy enough to use a regular file on those areas. After using the sharpener, it was very easy/quick to take a regular file to touch-up the very end of the blade and make the leading edge extra sharp.

I sharpened the older blade I had and it was better than the manufacturer blade I recently bought at Home Depot. That blade wasn’t balanced properly, I believe. Now my lawn mower doesn’t shake etc when I start it up and the grass doesn’t have ripped tops. Worth every penny!!

Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool saved time and gave a nice even blade edge. The balancing tool also provided the means to insure the blade was balanced.

Tried using it, but had trouble getting it to be stable enough to make the blade sharp. Finally reverted back to using a file and a stone. Nothing like the old standards.

Easy to use and works like a charm
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This simple tool takes the guess work out of sharpening and allows you to confirm the balance is still true.

Got good help from an associate. Took forever to get a blade sharpened; so I decided to do it myself.

Works good. The back guard shouldn’t move and mine does.
