A blade balancer is the often-overlooked companion to any sharpening method — an unbalanced blade causes vibration that damages your mower's spindle and bearings over time. At under $10, it's cheap insurance after every sharpening session.
Don't skip the balancer. Sharpening removes metal unevenly, and running an unbalanced blade will shake your mower apart over time. This $5-10 tool pays for itself the first time it saves your spindle bearings.
“You'll want to get a blade balancer as well to make sure you took enough off both sides.”
