It also helps keep your grass healthy, because a dull blade will rip the grass instead of cutting it. If your grass clippings look frayed, it’s because they’re ripping.
Yep. Grew up with my grandfather working on small engines (read:lawnmowers, either push or driven) and one of things he would do when doing maintenance on them was to sharpen the blades with an angle grinder. Mades mowing a lot easier and generally looks more uniform as well. The other thing was that it almost always is the carb if the engine has issues.
It’s a bladed tool. You can absolutely notice a difference between a sharp and dull shovel. The edge rounds out in use. A quick touch-up with a file helps a ton.

It’s actually really important to keep your lawnmower blades sharp. Makes the whole process much easier, and the engine won’t have to work as hard.

It’s better for the grass too.

Just make sure they’re balanced before putting them back on!
we had a handyman working on the house once and he asked my dad if he had a grinder and my dad brought out this hand cranked grind wheel
Shovel is a common item many don’t realize needs sharpening too
Wat!?
Like a spade for digging. Don’t sharpen your scoops for clearing snow.
