Best Sharpener I have found. Easiest to use sharpening tool that I have been able to find. I have used this multiple times to sharpen loppers that had nicks in the blades, takes them out and sharpens every time. I also use this for my everyday pocket knife that gets a lot of abuse. In spring will be using it on my lawnmower blade. Works so well I just ordered another one for my father-in-law as a Christmas stocking stuffer.

Works like a charm so far. I feel safe using it. Seems well designed and constructed.

Used it for the first time this week on two blades from my Toro Timecutter zero-turn radius lawnmower. I didn't find it necessary to hold the blades in a vice: I wore leather gloves and with one hand held the blade on a piece of wood while drawing the tool along the blade with the other. It took a few passes to get the feel for it, but once I got the proper angle the tool did a fair job of sharpening the blade. Contrary to the instructions, I found it necessary to exert some force on each pass, with the recommended "light pass" not being too effective. But in the end, the blade was sharp. PROS: Easy to use, cheap, effective. Unlike a bench grinder, this tool does not remove a lot of metal, which is probably the reason that both blades were almost perfectly balanced after sharpening. Also, the blades should last longer, since so little metal is actually being removed. CONS: May not be robust enough to sharpen an extremely dull blade or one with significant denting or pitting. UPDATE - ONE YEAR LATER: In general, the "cons" (above) turned out to be true, and I have found that extended heavy use of this item takes a toll. I still like it, but in sharpening heavier items, e.g., scythes, hatchets, it is possible to apply too much pressure, and after awhile the two plastic handle halves will start to separate (can be fixed, by tightening the screws in the handle). Also, after heavy use both sharpening edges appear to be the same size-- remember, the bigger of the two sharpening edges is supposed to face the beveled edge of what you are sharpening. If you're going to routinely sharpen lawnmower blades, axes, hatchets, and scythes, you might want to get something more robust. But for light work, and occasional heavy use, this item is recommended.

I needed a sharpener for garden tools. I purchased this one and found it super easy to use! Used it on kitchen knives and several outdoor tools and results were terrific! The guard keeps your hand safe and just a few swipes and you can feel the difference on any blade. So glad I bought two of them!

I thought I’d try it for my pruners as I saw a couple reviews it works well ion small garden tools. I cannot sharpen my pruners with this tool. Maybe if I could figure out how to take the pruners apart but that seems like a lot of effort rather than using a file to sharpen. It does work on our loppers and so far so good. I wanted to leave the review with the pruners in the title so you don’t try it like I did thinking it may work.

Sharpens most of my yard tools quite nicely. Easy to use,& doesn’t take too long. Long lasting,too.

I love this tool as it keeps all your shears, knives and clippers super sharp! Very easy to use. Highly recommend this product!

I like this item & feel it’s good quality & does exactly as advertised. It even allows you to change the sharpening blade for extended use. I originally purchased it to sharpen my Fiskar pruners, but they don’t open up far enough to allow the sharpener to reach the back & middle of my pruner blade, so just sharpened the1/3 end of my pruners….but it did an excellent job. I’ll use it on my larger tools.

Dopo tanti provati finalmente uno perfetto . Uno dei pochi che funzionano anche per uso professionale In pochi secondi un affilatura veloce e duratura. Bisogna fare attenzione a non esagerare, lascia pochi residui ferrosi

Kleines Ding mit großer Wirkung! Leicht zu bedienen und gutes ergebnis! Manko: bei Scheren-Werkzeugen, die sich nicht weit genug auseinanderklappen lassen, kommt man damit oft nicht weit genug hinein!

Je l'ai utilisé une seule fois à date. L'affutage est réussi. Les outils de jardinage ont à nouveau un bon tranchant.

Great for sharpening garden tools

Je peux aiguiser des lames fines de couteau ou ciseaux mais inefficace sur les tranchants des bêches et des coupes branches.
