Fiskars, the scissors maker, introduces cutting edge reel lawn mower
Fiskars, maker of the world's #1 brand of scissors, has introduced an innovative new real lawn mower. The Momentum® Reel Mower combines patent-pending technologies and Fiskars expertise in ergonomics to dramatically improve ease-of-use and cutting performance.
Many Chicagoans know that reel mowers are good for one’s health, the economy, and the environment. In addition, reel mowers are also renown for its ability to minimize moisture loss and disease with its clean, scissors-like cut. However, while reel mowers have many benefits, Chicagoans also know that reel mowers have drawbacks. They are infamous for being beasts to push, and owners curse them for bogging down in tall grass and clogging on small twigs. Reel mowers’ low maximum cut height makes them useless in longer grass, and the blades seem demand constant sharpening.
The Momentum® overcomes each of these shortcomings through a combination of innovative technologies.
• InertiaDrive™ Technology:
A large diameter cutting reel and heavy blades store energy much like a flywheel, so the Momentum® delivers twice the power to cut through small twigs, weeds or dense grass that clog other reel mowers. The mower also requires 30 percent less push force than standard reel mowers when cutting long grass.
• StaySharp™ Cutting System:
Precision engineering allows grass to be cut without the blades touching – greatly reducing friction & blade wear. By eliminating the steel-on-steel contact that dulls standard reel mowers, peak performance can be maintained without annual sharpening.
• VersaCut™ Design:
The Momentum® delivers the greatest cut range of any reel mower with cut height settings ranging from one to four inches. In addition, it edges three times closer than other reel mowers, and never leaves uncut strips under the wheels.
• Fiskars Ergonomics:
The Momentum® incorporates a number of best in class convenience features to enhance the mowing experience - including an ergonomic height adjustable handle with a padded grip, a quick and easy one-touch cut height adjustment system, and a grass discharge chute that directs messy clippings forward, away from the user’s feet.
The Momentum® comes with a 4-year warranty – the longest available for any reel mower on the market.
