Always at the forefront of offering the latest in design, performance and eco-friendly garden tools, Fiskars has developed the Momentum reel mower. Reel movers do away with the smell of petrol and the noise of a roaring engine. In contrast to traditional reel mowers, Momentum’s innovative design directs messy grass clippings forward (away from the user’s feet), edges three times closer and never leaves uncut strips under the wheels. “The latest generation of innovative reel mowers may be about to silence the mowing buzz into a gentler reel whirring, as their benefits begin to outsmart their powered peers,” says the brand. A reel mower allows you to cut the grass any day of the week, at any time of the day, without the risk of waking up the kids or disturbing the neighbours’ barbecue. The clean scissors-like cut of reel mowers is beneficial for the lawn, as it minimises moisture loss and reduces the risk of disease. Key features include InertiaDrive Technology, which delivers twice the cutting power to cut through small twigs, weeds, or dense grass. The Fiskars Momentum has an RRP of £199.99.
