Scotts 18-Inch 7-Blade Push Manual Reel Lawn Mower & American Lawn Mower Co. SK-2 Reel Lawn Mower Hand Sharpener for Great States, American Lawn Mower, Scotts, and Earthwise Reel Mowers, Orange

What It Is

This is a bundle of a 18-inch, 7-blade push reel mower (Scotts) and a reel mower hand sharpener (American Lawn Mower Co. SK-2). The mower is for manual, unpowered lawn cutting on small, flat yards; the sharpener maintains the reel blades on compatible reel mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Mower: Fits Scotts 18-inch 7-blade push reel mower only. Not compatible with other brands or deck sizes unless explicitly stated.
• Sharpener: Fits Great States, American Lawn Mower, Scotts, and Earthwise reel mowers with standard 7- or 8-blade reels. Does not fit 5-blade or non-standard reel designs.
• Check before buying: Measure your mower’s cutting width (must be 18 inches). Verify the reel blade count (7 or 8) and that the mower uses a traditional reel-and-bedknife system, not a spiral or flail design. The sharpener is an aftermarket accessory, not OEM.
• OEM vs aftermarket: The mower is OEM Scotts; the sharpener is aftermarket. No OEM replacement parts included.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: The sharpener has mixed reviews (3.4 stars, 2 reviews). It may require adjustment to align with the reel properly, and it can wear out quickly with heavy use.
• Installation difficulty: Mower is ready to use out of box (no assembly needed). Sharpener installs in minutes by clamping to the reel blade—no tools required, but you must follow instructions precisely to avoid damaging blades.
• Common gotchas: The sharpener works best on clean, dry blades; wet grass or debris can cause slipping. Over-sharpening can reduce blade life. The mower’s 7-blade design is good for fine grass but struggles with tall or thick growth.
• Maintenance: Sharpen the reel every 2-3 seasons or when cut quality drops. The mower’s blades are not replaceable individually—you’d need a new reel assembly if damaged.

Should You Buy It

This bundle is for owners of an 18-inch Scotts reel mower who want a basic, low-cost sharpening solution for occasional maintenance. It’s fine for light, infrequent use on small lawns. But if you have a different reel mower brand or need a more durable sharpener, look for a higher-rated universal kit or OEM option.
