@@user-ih5zr2hx8i It's true, you can't buy time, but conversely if you have limited money and not the ability to earn high wages, then this short expenditure of time may cost less than a new set of shears.
There is a very handy tool called a Dremel. Even has a rounded emery wheel and polishing paste in the kit. Nice job, but that is a lot of work when a $40 tool that will also do a multitude of other tasks can do it much quicker.
Or if you have a real shop with tools, a reciprocating spindle sander. They spend 1 minute of a 6 minute video cobbling together a sander that isn't as stable and doesn't work as well.
@@mikeroth5518 I'm in the Nursery business, 25 years. I keep cleaning my secateurs when not busy. I use sandpaper, cleans off sticky residue and sharpens.
Folks, just disassemble secateurs, sharpen 5 min on an oil stone/water stone, reassemble, good to go. [Use a bit of fine steel wool and some WD-40, if you need to clean off some gunk]
Might depend on how far gone they are. Removing the gross notches uses up a lot of the oil stones surface. Good stones are expensive but sand paper is a few cents.
Another civilization, Russia, but my wife and I have the same problem. I even agree that it is my responsibility to put them in order, but for this it is necessary that she does not lose them somewhere in the garden. And then there are these little rakes and garden trowels.
The problem with letting mimes make RU-vid videos is they can't explain the details, like: Do you try to maintain the original bevel? What is that clear liquid - water? What grit emery paper? Is that superglue?
Dear Karen, not everyone in this world speaks english. This video was pretty straight forward and if you still have questions after watching this, you probably shouldn't play with your husband's powertools anyway. Please stay safe and get a helmet
Paper was 240 grit wet or dry., spritzed with water. Yes, it obviously was superglue. The rubber was an old bike inner tube….in a pinch you could probably use a stronger painters tape. I watched it one time and from a lifetime of working with and maintaining hand tools I picked up on the answers to your questions.
Nice video on sharpening the tool. To avoid rust, you should also apply some grease on the blades after cleaning the blades before storing them. After several grease sessions, the blades will inherit a thin film of grease on them which protects it from corrosion. If a person takes good care of a tool, the tool will work perfectly for him or her.
"Sharp as a razor" is wrong. The edge isn't durable enough to hold up. You're not trimming your beard; you're trimming wood of variable hardness. Go look at a factory edge on one in the store and make it no sharper than that.
There are many ways to accomplish this task. This is just one, and certainly not the best one. It's not necessary to polish the tool unless you want to display it on the wall. This tool is designed for rough use. Someone will jam it into the dirt to cut roots off, it will be thrown in a drawer to rust again. However you do want it sharp and to operate properly. Oil the joints, and use a stone or even a file to make it sharp. Clean it with a wire brush. This ain't rocket science.
You can by honing and grinding wheels for very little money. But this is OK if you have a lot of time to kill every day. Actually, if you buy a Dremel, you won't even have to take it apart.
And to keep them sharp, I have a bottle of silicon oil but any oil will do. I soak a rag with it in a bowl and wipe them down after every use. Still going after 10 years.
how is any of this a "special way"? All you did was clean the blades, grind, polish, and sharpen them. This is basically the standard way to sharpen any blade
Very good demonstration of how to do it, although you forgot to ad a film of oil to them before you put them back together, that helps prevent rust in between the two sides ,the nut and bolt can also be done, a dab of superglue on the end of the bolt after the nut is screwed down will prevent the nut from self loosening, which can sometimes be an issue,
Give non toxic furniture paste wax a try instead of oil that will run off. Works as a lube in the pivot joint also. Carpenters use paste wax on tools and bare metal table tops to keep them slick and rust free. Oil can contaminate plants. The best rust prevention is cleaning and drying secateurs after each use. The nut you see on this secateurs is a locking nut. It has a plastic insert that prevents loosening.
A Dremel tool will also work to do this but Dremel does not offer a extra large sanding drum.The much larger diameter of the drill chuck works better, and not everyone can afford a Dremel.

WTF Is this First step totally useless You can use only an angular grinder You really switch to 120 grit or 180 Paper end After a Chrome oxide paste on a piece of wood That paste Is for razors non those thick blades.... Use sandpaper max 1000 grit for me Its Better for this blade
So after going through all the trouble of making the "drill attachment", you still used to stone to sharpen the edge. What a waste of time and energy. None of these so called "hacks" really work.
If you'd taken the time to notice...the abrasive paper was 250g the stone is probably 1000g the dowel with compound is the finishing polish...the hack works pretty well.
