Mowing long grass is an important task for any gardener, regardless of whether you are an enthusiastic amateur at home or a grizzled landscaper with years of experiencing tending to extensive ornamental lawns. It can also be a pretty demanding chore sometimes, especially when maintaining a luxurious lawn requires mowing up to twice a week during the peak of the growing season as well as weekly during the spring and autumn. To make sure that routine lawn maintenance of this kind doesn’t become a chore you will therefore need to keep your mower in top condition, ideally by keeping its blades sharp enough to cut cleanly and efficiently.

A properly sharp blade is especially important on a rotary mower as otherwise you may need to make several passes in order to cut grass evenly. This is because a rotary mower’s blades cut using the force of impact (like a machete), so a blunt edge simply won’t get the job done. Multi-Sharp’s high quality angled grinding wheel, however, fits on to any power drill and produces a sharp new edge on rotary mower blades in a matter of minutes. Made from tough aluminium oxide and featuring a reversible design to ensure years of effective sharpening, the grinding wheel is angled at 25º to create an optimal cutting edge. It is also remarkably simple to use; all you need to do is insert the blade between the wheel and the blade guide and then power up your drill.

As well as sharpening rotary mower blades, Multi-Sharp’s clever grinder can also be used to quickly and efficiently re-sharpen edges on spades, hoes, lawn-edgers and axes. As with your lawnmower, a sharper blade on these tools makes using them much less strenuous and helps to ensure outstanding cutting results every time. This handy little tool is therefore a great way of making a range of horticultural tasks significantly easier and thus ensuring that your lawn looks its best all year round.
