Hey Eddie! That's about the extent of our experience on this subject, but hopefully it helps a few folks out there with keeping their equipment working!
Thanks Duane. Didn't realize I had the Corona sharpener. I've used it for sharpening my pocket knives. According to another video I've seen online about knife sharpening, the paper cutting is a good indicator. If the blade cuts easily and smoothly, you've done it right. I also do what Mr Gibbs does when he's done sharpening the blade. Cheers
I sharpen my tools the same way and my husband always tells me I'm doing it wrong I can now tell him for sure he doesn't know what he is talking about LoL I love it.
Hey Cecilia, glad you enjoyed this one. We had a few folks asking what we do to sharpen the pruners, so it made sense to get a short one in during the week.
Thank you for the detailed video. I needed some good shears and a sharpener. Ordered from the link to amazon with a nice discount plus free shipping and recieved by 9 a.m. next morning!
Great job, I sharpen my Corona shears and loppers in a similar fashion and afterwards I wipe them down with a little Ballistol oil which is non-toxic. Before and after I use my tools I wipe them down with some isopropyl alcohol to sterilize them, and before I put them away I wipe a little more Ballistol oil to keep the tools from rusting. Thank you for sharing.
Great tips Daniel. I wish I could say we were more consistent with the sterilization. That's a critical step in keeping any issues contained to just the problem tree.
Great advice! I have struggled as well with sharpening secateurs, I'll give a try with an analogue tool! It seems that even if that exact model is not available, there is quite a selection of tungsten carbide sharpeners of the same general form factor.
