That's what I used, it was a little rough trying to control my drill while I was running it over the blade. I feel like it did pretty good, but then I did a second pass with one of these to get it razor sharp: Smith's 50603 Mower Blade Sharpener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VTO5N2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Jj6-Ab31GKD3A
Hello fellow cheesehead!
I agree with the others here that a sprinkler is not where you should start. I made a conscious effort last year to monitor rainfall totals and used a sprinkler whenever there was less than 1" of rain per week. It helped keep my lawn a bit greener than the neighbors who didn't water, but not a huge difference.
If you're just getting started, I would recommend some other purchases first:
Other than that, my only other piece of advice is to not neglect pre-emergent and grub preventer. Pre-emergent has saved me a ton of weeding and the one year I didn't use grub preventer I lost a sizable patch of lawn near my mailbox to grubs, which now I need to seed this spring.
Good luck with the lawn this year!
