Lawn Mowers
When compared to ordinary push lawn mowers we’ve been seeing around for decades, Fiskars’ reel lawn mower looks like something from another planet. This mower is definitely what people have been demanding for sometime and something no one had thought of doing until recently for some reason. It is basically about taking the good old manula push mower and giving it a brand new design that makes thing a lot easier.
The idea behind Fiskars StaySharp’s design is no rocket science but applying it lawn mowers was the real piece of genius that makes this one the best reel mower ever produced. The big problem about the lawn mowers has always been the difficulty with pushing and loss of momentum when you hit some stubborn bunch of grass. StaySharp basically overcomes this problem by applying a chain drive on the reel. While a normal drive stops when you stop pushing, StaySharp’s reel keeps turning. In this way it stores all the energy you’ve put into it when pushing it into a pile of grass and can cut then even if you are no longer able to push.
The reel of an ordinary push lawn mower can never turn faster than the wheel but in Fiskars that is possible and is actually what happends most of the time. The blades attached to the reel of this machine are rather heavy. The whole mower weighs 40 lbs or more and when the baldes are turning fast there is a lot of energy stored in the system. The difference between other lawn mowers and Fiskars is like the difference between hitting someting with a knife and a longsword. Fiskars is nothing to be compared to the low quality products we see around us.
If you feel like you are going to buy a push mower to keep your lawn tidy and do some exercise at the same time, I definitely say get Fiskars StaySharp. If you do not like this manual lawn mowers then you are not the manual mower type.
