I wonder who makes the hercules though? I already have dewalt , bosch ect. So I wanted to try it.I am using an 3/4 auger tomorrow.So I will see.I dont have the bauer.Since stanley b&d make so many brands , I wonder....
eXterminator yea i kno dewalt is sueing them again ...i think Chinese company took dewalts design and tried to make it lool like dewalt if you notice the Hercules is exactly the same as the Dewalt dcd885 ...except its blue ...
I need to google that.Stanley is such a big company they def could afford to protect their dewalt brand.o well someone always suing these days lol.I still have early 1980's original B&D tools(saws,drills etc.).the pre dewalts(as their known).they still going strong too.whats your other channel? I cant even keep up with one lol
Your lawnmower blade really didn't look that bad before sharpening. The machining marks from the manufacturer were still quite apparent and there were no noticeable chips or dented nicks to the cutting surface (nice camera operator zoom articulation!). Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's all carry the "Arnold Blade Sharpening and Balancing Kit" for under $10.00, but only Amazon allows the consumer to choose from multiple sharpening replacements ranging from one up to six. The only unknown about the different sharpening stones is, what is the specified grit of all the different stone manufacturers and are they all the same or are they different? Is there some factory in China that supplies all the different manufacturers with essentially the same product to be marketed under different trademark names? The best blade sharpening solution I've found is the, All American Sharpener Model 5005 Generation 2, which will adjust and lock at angles from 15 to 45 degrees, by 5 degree increments, but at over $210.00 this is beyond most homeowner's budgets as new blades can be purchased from $5.00 to $25.00. Amazon wants $269.99 plus sales tax for this gizmo which equates to purchasing 10-each new lawnmower blades. I just replaced the original 22-inch blade on our 6-year old Toro Mow-n-Stow with a new blade from The Home Depot that had several nicks but wasn't really deeply pitted, chipped, or damaged so I figured I spend a few bucks to sharpen the old blade to keep as a spare. The big thing is, just make sure that once the blade is back in place to torque the blade-bolt to the OEM specification which for our Mow-n-Stow was 60 Ft-Lb. I'm rather certain that no one would want a blade vibrating loose and causing injury to either machine or to individual.
I've seen a few similar videos, but none talk about the importance of balancing the blade after you sharpen it. Is that important, or does it not seem to matter? I don't see how you could really expect to balance a blade, unless it's brand new, because my used blade has caked-on grass and other stuff that I can't get off even with a wire brush. That said, I'm using the Arnold system and my blade is never balanced. I hope that's ok. Thanks!
Fred C.C. yea i think its pretty cool to have when ur in bind or if your in a certain situation ...hell is $8.00 what you got to lose , and you get blade balancer anyway
The problem sharpening with the blade still on the mower is that you can't balance the blade. You need to make sure you have a balance blade otherwise it will vibrate and hurt the mower.
If the blade has any REAL use at all to it, then this thing sucks. If you don't let the blades get dull before you use this, it's probably OK. However, most people that bring me lawn mower blades to sharpen, only do so after they're very gone. This thing doesn't work very well on those.
I literally just got done with a blade off a 1984 Coast-to-Coast(!) push mower. One edge was near pristine, but the other had a huge gouge from a rock. On the good edge, this thing was great and quick. On the other edge, the nylon backing got torn up and now the whole thing is basically useless. The new bits are $3.49 at Menards, though. So, the time saved on the one edge is worth the cost. Great video, by the way.
I too would value a description of how to balance the blade.
You going clockwise with drill or counter clockwise?
I bought one of the new hercules hammer drills couple weeks ago.Wanted to try it out.Still in box though.have and use same balancer.

I wouldn't. You cant balance it
Didn’t even show the balancing tool
Thanks for the video I've been thinking about buying one to maintain my blades seems a lot easier than breaking out the angle grinder all the time
Yea works pretty good ...best function you can sharpen with blades on mower

can it be used for a cylinder mower?
Erich Leopold Golf as long as blade looks similar to a normal lawnmower blade
Very good demo. Thanks! 👍🏽🤠
Thank you Sir 👍👍 👍👊
Do you get paid to do these reviews??? If so how? I’m a mechanic myself in PA and looking to do this on the side
Not bad at all for the money. My bench grinder is my go-to, though.
Straight From the Field agreed buddy 👍🏼

Yea it's important but don't go crazy ..just don't want it really off balance ..
I bought the same one and it comes with a balancer. If it's not balanced you will get some serious vibes that might ruin your mower if you keep using.
Not a bad idea to stick it in the truck just in case with a cordless impact driver...I will stick with my angle grinder tho!!!
LawnCrack yeah bro ... agreed
Can i use it with blades still on the mower?
Fred C.C. absolutely, if you go to my tool boss channel i posted a video last week of me doing on my 22 inch mower with blades on
Supreme Services Lawn Care ok cool i got a toro timemaster i like to do it to so I'm order it today
Fred C.C. yea i think its pretty cool to have when ur in bind or if your in a certain situation ...hell is $8.00 what you got to lose , and you get blade balancer anyway

Yeah.. i agree ,but if you do regularly it will put a decent point on them
