Great little gadget,
A great little gadget which simply and quickly sharpens all garden tools (only 3 or 4 strokes required). No need to dismantle secateurs. The tungsten carbide sits on one side of the V-shape groove, meaning only one side of the blade is sharpened (which is correct). Designed for sharpening right-handed tools.

|easy sharpener,
Decided to buy this because the reviews were good and I’m all for ease of use. Having borrowed mum’s lawn edgers and accidentally left them out in the rain they were blunt and rusty. Used my new sharpener and wow, they work again. Ok they’re still a bit rusty – my fault but this sharpener was a doddle to use and did the job in seconds.
Thoroughly recommended.Spear & Jackson – Razorsharp Blade Sharpener

|Understand your angles,
Good, but could have been better. This device performs well in sharping up well maintained but dull blades. What it, and other devices like it, have difficulty with is putting a good edge on a blunt or nicked blade. You will also struggle to improve a blade that has been poorly sharpened by hand, resulting in a curved or irregular bevel. The reason is that these sharpeners have a set angle between the steel and the guide. If you look carefully at it under a magnifying glass, and then offer it up to the blade you are sharpening, you will be able to judge how to hold the sharpener in order to ensure the steel is flat against the bevel of the cutting edge of the blade. This is the key! Get that angle wrong and you simply won’t improve the sharpness of the blade. Get it right, and this is a very handy little tool to have around when using the shears, loppers and pruners, especially on big jobs. Strangely, I have not been get much of a result with scissors. Maybe me, or something to do with the different steel used in scissors.
I don’t consider the oil sponge to be of much importance, and would caution against allowing the plastic guard to drag along the blade you are sharpening. It is pretty thin. However, you do get a 10 year guarantee. Amazingly, no mention of this in the product description!
