StaySharp
™
Cutting System,
Fiskars Exclusive
What is it?
Fiskars’ exclusive StaySharp
™
Cutting System uses precision-
ground, hardened steel blades engineered to efficiently cut grass without
actually touching, greatly reducing friction and blade wear.
How is it different?
Standard reel mowers rely on contact between the cutting
reel and stationary blade for cutting. This steel-on-steel contact creates friction
and causes blade wear. As a result, the blades on standard reel mowers dull
quickly and require costly annual sharpening to maintain peak performance.
Why is it important?
Since the StaySharp
™
Cutting System cuts grass
without the blades touching, friction and blade wear are virtually eliminated.
As a result, long-lasting performance is maintained without the cost and
inconvenience of annual blade sharpening.
InertiaDrive
™
Reel,
Patent Pending
What is it?
Fiskars’ patent-pending InertiaDrive
™
Reel combines a large-
diameter cutting reel and thick blades to store energy (like a flywheel) until a
burst of extra cutting power is needed.
How is it different?
Standard reel mowers use small-diameter cutting reels
with thin blades. These reels and mowers lack cutting power and frequently
jam when cutting small twigs, weeds or dense grass. When this happens
the cutting reel seizes, completely stopping the mower. The obstruction
must be removed before mowing can resume.
Why is it important?
InertiaDrive
™
Reel uses the mower’s large-diameter
cutting reel and heavy blades to store energy (like a flywheel) until a burst
of extra cutting power is needed. When a tough spot is encountered, the
InertiaDrive
™
Reel delivers 75% more cutting energy to power through
without jamming, providing a superior cut without interruption.
Forward Reel Design
What is it?
Fiskars’ forward reel design with a unique grass discharge chute
throws clippings forward.
How is it different?
Standard reel mowers feature rear grass discharge,
which means your shoes get covered in messy grass clippings.
Why is it important?
Fiskars’ forward reel design with a unique grass
discharge chute throws clippings forward cleanly, away from your feet.
Cuts All Grass Types
What is it?
StaySharp
™
Plus Reel Mower offers a combination of advanced
technologies to cut all residential grass types easily.
How is it different?
Standard reel mowers struggle to cut certain types of
residential grass, jamming or leaving uncut blades of grass.
Why is it important?
StaySharp
™
Plus Reel Mower cuts all types of
residential grass easily, even tough southern varieties.
