Accu Sharp 060 GardenSharp Tool Sharpener Review.
"Works well on Garden Tools and Lawnmower Blades" 2009-10-14

This is a cheap, simple tool to use, and gives good results. I've used it to sharpen a few clippers, hedge trimmers, and the lawn mower blade on a cordless Black & Decker lawnmower which was pitted and dulled. All tools I used it on seem to perform noticeably better than before.

I bought this to sharpen my lawnmower blade and it worked great! For the price it looks like this product will save me much money over the next few years. I thought it works fine!!!

Worked great on my bypass pruners (large and small) and my grass shears (all Corona drop-forged). My large pruner was very dull after many years of use and the Accu Sharp renewed the blade better than I expected. On the first few passes it actually took off visible little pigtails of metal shavings as it honed the cutting blade to a precise, uniform and shiny-new edge. I can't imagine a professional sharpener doing a better job. I accidentally cut my thumb with a light bump against the sharpened blade! Totally my fault - I wasn't using the accusharp at the time. I held the sharpener at an angle keeping one side of the "V" shaped sharpening notch flat against the flat side of the cutting blade. This was not difficult to do - in fact the Accusharp seemed to "lock in" comfortably at this off-center angle. For the Coronas no dis-assembly was required. I spray the blades with WD40 to maintain the edges between use. I've only sharpened my tools once so far so I can't say how long the Accusharp lasts but at this price you can buy two. I'm here to buy my "back-up" now. The kitchen version of this tool has replaceable blades but I haven't seen them for the garden version.

I can't believe I haven't seen this product before. The only problem is when the blade is too thick, but just rotate the sharpener off of vertical and voila!!!

I tried to an item to sharping my gardening tools for many years. They have a corona one that does not work well until Accusharp. This item does the job. No grips but the refill cost as much as the item. Highly recommend for garden tools.
