How to Sharpen Hedge Trimmers the pro way 

After watching you for about a month you have inspire me to get back into the lawn maintenance business I left many’s years ago. Look out High Ridge Handyman & Lawn maintenance coming soon👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My father pass away and left me the lawn service company. Thank you man you are helping me alot 🙏 keep up the good work . I'm watching all your videos

Your video is extremely helpful. I own three hedge trimmers and they all could use a sharpening. You've given me the confidence to get to it. Thanks very much.

I’ve been watching your videos religiously for the past week and MAN you are teaching,inspiring and saving me money!!!! I was literally about to take my hedge trimmer to a shop to be sharpened, welp not anymore I just ordered everything you just used! Once again thanks bro💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Thanks dude! I'm adding hedge trimming to my services for my lawn business this season, and now I know how to keep my equipment functioning well!

Took my older trimmer in to be sharpened took a month for them to tell me they would have to take the whole thing apart in order to sharpen the blades because they would have to be cleaned with a Dremel and should me how and why it would be difficult with the electric... ( True Value) hedger It would be about 45-60 dollars and I should invest in a new one. I said "I like this one because it actually locks on making it easier for me to move around and easier on my hands". I also said well have a Dremel so I guess I'll do it myself. YOUR VIDEO WAS REALLY HELPFUL! I LIKE THE SOFT MUSIC IN THE BACK AND GET RIGHT INTO IT STYLE. I followed you for more helpful ideas THANK YOU ! I purchased a small cordless rotary tool one like you suggested though because, well it just made sense keep up the good work!@

Great video. You just saved me $60.00! That's what the local sharpening guy in our area wants to fix my trimmer. Thanks man!

Thanks for the tips. Just bought a stihl hedge trimmer and want to keep it in top shape for a long time. I couldn't find the stihl cleaner, but was able to find Fluid Film for $10. Cheaper than Stihl cleaner and also intended for use on hedge trimmers.

Love the dermal approach. It works thanks

Female homeowner looking forward to maintaining my sticking hedge trimmer with my nail filing drill.😊

I hear a lot of guys use Fluid Film to lubricate and protect the blades once the blades are sharpened. It also prevents against rust and keeps the blades moving like butter, curious to know your thoughts regarding that? Enjoyed the video.

I take them off machine and use Simple Green to clean them first. Then I use a small air driven belt sander to sharpen, reasemble and lubricate. That way I get the resins out that builds up in between the blades.

Appreciate this video....I was going to drop off 4 units to be sharpen....I will try it myself now

Thanks, I’ll save money and do it myself from now on. You the man Johnny for sharing your videos with us.

That collar below the locking nut is a wrench, loosen that collar and you can tighten the locking nut a little extra. I have that exact Dremel.

Excellent tutorial vid, man! Glad you showed a product that can be used to keep it clean as I've been wondering about the maintenance for a hedge trimmer.

Nice! 👍 Getting to be that time. 🏡 86° today and the Viburnums are already putting out new growth. I'm geared up and ready to go. 💪

Thank you Johnny, I am going to try this & save money!!!!...Please keep the tutorial videos coming...

This was great, thank you so much. Thorough and concise, very well done. I'm off to go sharpening

I normally have a couple of days throughout the year where I get a few beers and sharpen and clean everything, quality tools dull very slowly no matter what abuse you put them through. I use nothing but Husqvarna and Stihl! A clean every now and then is all that is necessary! Winter gives you ample time to strip them down for deep maintenance and make them ready for the year to come!

thanks it helped out alot. in chicago they charge 65 to get them sharpened and take 2 weeks to do it. looking forward on doing it on my own

Love the video and i did this on my handheld hedge trimmers and now they are like new and vey sharp

Thanks for that I’ve been using my large grinder for my large blades an machetes I need that tool because I have a lot of palm trees at my home plus hedges. Thanks again

I'm going to order one of those sharpening tools on the internet it look very reliable. I trimmed trees every day. Thanks for the info.

I love the video, I just learned how to sharpen my trimmers from a pro. Thanks.

I thought about using my Dremel for this, thanks for confirming.

Good advice here. I use my Dremel with those stones for sharpening my chainsaw blades (there is a thinner stone also) and hedge trimmers. Thanks for posting. Great audio also by the way.

Great,simple and easy hands on and explanation! Thank you for your time in helping the ones with less experience. Gracias, Amigo! Bendiciones

Just buy those attachments for your drill! Tbh the dremel is more comfortable for me. Thanks Johhny!

Thanks for the video instructions! I already have a portable Dremel and I'm ready to go! What a cost-saver!

The best video regard to sharpening hedge trimmer.

This video was very helpful. It explained and showed me how to do this and it was very easy to follow. Thanks...

Great video I’ve been sending mine out to get sharpened. This seems like a real money saver. I do wish you gave us better close up view. It was a very informative video. Once again thank you

Great job. I swear people will dislike anything. Sometimes I wonder if RU-vid is actually disliking videos.

I found out your videos super helpful! and I like the background music! Super professional! Thanks and keep it the good work brother!

That's how I do mine although I only sharpen them once a year. I have 2 hedge trimmer that I use a few hours a week. I don't notice much of a difference after sharpening.

Good video man... I’m so used to using the Milwaukee grinder... super fast and easy too

Great video, We use Fluid Film to lubricate and clean the blades.

Awesome video. Ive been wondering how to do this as mine seem to be a bit dull. Thanks for showing.

I was looking for something related to sharpening hedge trimmer blades. Hi, I'm Neill and I'm "noth" of you in upstate South Carolina. Worked for awhile in Savannah back in my working days (I'm retired and LOVE IT). I couldn't believe you have the exact Dremel Lite that I bought from HD a few weeks ago. I bought a Dremel Chain Saw Sharpening Attachment Kit from Amazon. It shows how to use one of the attachments for sharpening a Chain Saw in the Owners Manual, but nothing on how to use the kit for sharpening Hedge Trimmer Blades. I called Dremel and they said to look it up on the Internet. BLAH! Can you help? I used your method, but not sure I'm doing it at the right "angle". Hence, why I bought the Kit. I have RYOBI battery operated hedge trimmers.😎

Keith had a video mentioning some electric battery powered method for being able to sharpen your trimmers in the field. I found yours first and I am so greatful for you sharing this. Thanks so much also I didn’t know you were in Georgia for some reason I thought Florida like Jonathan. Anyway this was a super fun video to watch and a change of pace.

I did that last year on mine! Works real good 😉

Thank you for this video you saved me 75$ Dallas tx is getting expensive now

Thanks for this video. I'm a big DIYer on a budget so this really helps me!

and monthly lubrication is a must!

l only trim my hedge about 70 meters once a year (spring mostly) and l sharp my blades about once in two years, l dont own a mowing service like you but this was helpful

Thanks for the tip!!! Your one of the better RU-vidrs… that I follow.

LOVE THE HEDGE TRIMMER SHARPING VIDEO AND IVE LERANED ALOT WHATING YOUR VIDEOS TO HELP ME IN MY LAWNCARE BUSINESS, THANKS AND KEEP THE VIDEO COMING ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,SIR

Just ordered mine from HD. Thanks so much!!!!

Phenomenal instructional video. Explained very well

Thanks for the tutorial! Gonna sharpen mine today!

Like the video. It was very helpful because I need to sharpen my blades!

I use a small diamond bastard file works so much nicer than a rotary stone. One, two three, four passes on each blade, done , shiny and uniform.

Dremel should give you some freebies cause I purchased one based on your video. I love it ! Thanks!

Thank you from Cali 👋

Great video thanks for the lesson but ditch the music

You can use a rotor zip and the attachment

We all like to play music while we work but be mindful that when you make a recording the music or other background noises interferes with the listeners audio.

Thanks brother on my to do list👍

4th video I've watched for people sharp and amp adunco out in actually cut something to show you how good it is

Really good video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Thanks mate Learned a great few tips

Moreno Landscaping says in the growing season he sharpens at least once a week.

Thanks. Also, what workbench product are you using. I love that you can attach a vice to it.

Thank you, you really made my life easy with this method. I was doing it by hand and to scared to use a grinder 👍😎

Just did it, works like a hot damn! Thanks

Another good quick easy way of cleaning blades: water a hedge, cut a bit of it and your blade is clean, specially stainless.

Digging the tutorial videos my brotha Can you do some videos on how you run the administrative side of your buisness?

Thank you 😊

A sharp blade is a happy blade 😁

One thing I would like to add is please zoom in for a few times on the blades while showing us. It was a bit hard to see. But fantastic content.

Great tip,Thanks !!!

Very informative easy to understand.

Thanks! This REALLY helped me.

Thank you! Seems very simple.

Thanks for the tips on sharpening the trimmer. Excellent video. Just curious, were you stationed at all at fort Stewart? My son was stationed there.

Does it matter which grinding stone you use on the blades? I used the 952 3/8" grinding stone and it got gunked up very quickly from all the resin and grime on my old blades.

Thanks for the help!!

Thank you for the video it was great

love the maintenance videos!

How about using a brush with brass / stainless bristles to clean the blades .

Thanks for the video my man

Great video thank you

Nice vid

Awesome camera work

Thank you

Great video! Just what I needed…

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video and advice, thanks

Great video thanks

Can you use a drill and attach the bit instead of buying the device?

Good info, I have one and I use it

Great video as always……Top notch advice!Thank you for sharing!

Another good video brother!

Great video, very detailed. Thank you.

Good video. But why do you wipe the oil off after spraying it on? (Not that I disagree, just I would like to know why as I am a novice). Is it to get any metal particles off? Or some other reasons.

Thanks for the tip!👍🙏✌

Great video

The sthil spray is pretty much WD-40. WD-40 is cheaper. Bar and chain oil works far better then anything else. And that is even cheaper than the spray.

Mine got dull by cutting the electrical extension cord twice I’m telling ya
