Sharpeners: Timberline, Totile (knockoff Timberline), Granberg, Stihl, PRETEC, EzzDoo, and Honoson. Let’s compare the chainsaw sharpeners that are designed to sharpen chainsaws while the chain is still mounted on the saw. I previously tested chainsaw sharpeners to include bench mounted ones that require removing the chainsaw chain from the saw. Chainsaw sharpeners compared for speed of sharpening chains, durability, sharpness of sharpened chainsaw chisel, and cutting speed of sharpened chain through a test log.

That sliding Stihl sharpener is spectacular. I spent several days non-stop cutting with an MS360 saw removing a couple of enormous trees and that thing was a life saver. After some practice, it only takes a few minutes to put a new edge on the entire chain. If you do it every time you fill the saw with gas it really keeps things moving. It was $40 when I bought it on Amazon, but it was worth every penny.

Stihl sharpener is supposed to by PUSHED only, not pushed and pulled (as you appear to be doing at the 11:00 mark). I own 4 different sizes and it's all I use. Takes care of sharpening and adjusting the depth at the same time. Excellent tool.

He’s not cutting while pulling. Maybe turn the volume up on your device. There is little to no sound when he comes back to him meaning he is not actually grinding anything but just getting the sharpener back to him to PUSH forward for sharpening.

@wideopenmx850 Месяц назад

I have been using the Timberline system for the past 6 years. I am 64 years old and run seven saws. I can do my 20" Rancher under 15 min. My chains last 3 times longer and tooth consistency is second to none. I have found using a 3/16 cutter on a 7/32 chain improves cutting performance. The Timberline cutters are Tungsten steel and will do 50 plus sharpenings. Best money I have ever spent. Sharpenings can be done in the woods, tailgate or benchtop.

Tip: When you order the EZZDOO also order three or four boxes of stones the right size for your particular chain. The EZZDOO only comes with three stones, one each, three different sizes. You will need spare stones in your size. Great video.

I would be interested in a comparison between wire splice methods, especially for automotive use. There are a lot of opinions on the internet about soldering. crimp connectors, solder and heat shrink, special heat-shrink that contains solder (genuine TE and knock-off) etc. My personal favorite is soldering manually and then using the solder sleeves, which nobody else seems to do, but I use soldering and generic heat-shrink as well. Strength, weather resistance and vibration resistance are the most important tests I guess, but size of the splice and ease of use (especially in tight spaces) are also relevant. Maybe a little bit outside of your usual themes but I think you are the right person to nail this once and for all.

@ProjectFarm Месяц назад

Thanks for the suggestion.

@keith3761 Месяц назад

@korg47237 Месяц назад

I worked professionally with car audio, remote starts, and GPS installs before switching careers (IT now). You won't believe it, but myself and the majority of colleagues over the year just twist and tape wires together, even data wires. You can call it "military splice" for pictures online, but I generally fray the ends in two directions, twist them together, then wrap them around the wires backwards each side. If it's one loose wire connecting to an existing wire, strip away the plastic and poke a hole and kinda do the same thing twisting it each side and taping the wire to the existing one. Tape it tight and if you did it right you can't even pull them apart no matter how hard you pull. I have done my entire Jeep Wrangler build like this starting a decade ago and the amount of heavy off-roading and movement not a single wire has came loose or apart, inside the cab or under the hood. Most professionals agree on absolutely not anything T-Tap style, that stuff will eventually fail on you. Anything else you mentioned works fine if done correctly though.

@mitsuturbo Месяц назад

It's worth noting that no OEM harness in any modern vehicle has any soldered joints. Ideal solution is to get the appropriate crimp terminals and replace the entire wire, but we all know that's simply not feasible when adding accessories or making inline repairs. Your idea for a comparison video is a good one.

@REDLINERUNNER Месяц назад

Stihl 2in1 Chain sharpener is the best sharpening tool EVER!! It's very important to get the correct one for the chain your chainsaw uses. The chain sizes for Stihl are: Picco, 3/8 Picco, ,325 and 3/8. I have two chainsaws and two tools. MS230 uses the same chain like your MS250 which is 3/8 Picco and my new chainsaw is MS311 which uses 3/8.

With the Timberline you have to use the right size burr (Stihl and Husq are different) and the right angle guides and set it up evenly (I use shims to set it evenly) and I recommend not setting it up with the burr all the way in but rather lower using the taper to get more hook and accommodate the sloping angle of the top-plate. If set up right it will grind better than new chain uniformly every time. Not a chain grinder but the best small kit I've seen.

I've owned the Stihl sharpener for years. It was recommended on Steves Small Engine Saloon about 6 years ago. I bought one. I've had so many others. They were junk compared to this. They got it right. As long as you follow the directions it'll sharpen that chain to just about a razor if you're good with it and take your time. So far I haven't had to replace any chains since. I have one that is finally getting close to being worn out. I used it last week to take out some pine trees, which it did easily. Still has life left. First trees this spring season.

Buckin is quite the character isn't he !, hes very passionate about his saws and how to sharpen a chain to perform and square ground/filing which is on a whole other level of proficiency. Me personally, I've watched friends etc struggling with gimmicks because they had no idea what they were supposed to be looking at on the chain tooth and ended up with a saw that performed horribly, took off to the side etc. I like using the simple method, a proper sized file for the particular chain and put my saw in the vice which makes it so much easier and less awkward to do the job. So as Buckin says, "Get The Gullet" !.

It gets better pretty quick. If you were dealing with tooth pain before you got them like I was, you’ll be so thankful in a couple weeks when you’re all healed up. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was getting mine. I had tooth pain for decades but ever since I got them I’ve had no pain, and unlike the image that some people think when they hear someone has dentures, I can eat absolutely anything I want with no issues or pain. I can bite an apple or eat a steak no problem. The only thing I don’t like to deal with is gum or gummy candy cause it gets under the dentures and I have to take em out and clean em or it’ll annoy me feeling the candy stuck in there, but I can eat it if I want to and I still do sometimes. I had a couple weeks of discomfort when I got them and I lost a couple pounds from not being able to eat as much, but most of us can afford to lose a couple pounds anyway lol. When I got mine I wish I had someone to tell me it was gonna be a great decision after a short period of discomfort, so I’m telling you that right now. Good luck and hope they work out for you as well as they have for me

I have been cutting wood for 55 years or so and I found a dremil tool with a diamond bit works fine and fast for me. I don't need the guide tools at this point but I do use the lines on the chain. It may not be the best but for me it is the most useful with the sharpness and speed needed to do the job. I use a much slower speed on the dremil tool to grind the chain and the bit lasts much much longer. It is nice to see how they test and how sharp they are when done. Great video, thank you for all the work!

Besides the great reviews of the products, I'm so glad you explain and show *how* to use them. A lot of times the instructions are so obtuse or just missing that I worry I'm doing something wrong when I get poor results from some of these more complex jigs.

The fact that you are adjusting your rakers while sharpening the chain makes the Stihl the overall fastest and easiest to use. It is my favorite. Thanks for another great video.

@mdsuave13 Месяц назад

Just an FYI the PFERD brand sharpener is the original unit that the stihl sharpeners are based off of. They are cheaper and are IDENTICAL minus the handle color. You can get a box of files to replace the ones in the unit. I usually get 5-8 sharpening out of a 20" bar.. If they don't seem to bite when you file, change the file. They are about a dollar a pop. Out of all the sharpeners, the 2 in one sharpeners really do work the best if you are doing touch up or small repairs, if they are really torn up, you'll want an electric sharpener. Certified sawyer, with a decade of experience. Also, recommend putting the saw in a vise to sharpen. Just keep 2-3 sharp chains in a small bag with your tools, sharpen when you get home.

Great video!! I hit a rock that grew into the trunk of a bush with my chainsaw and dulled the chain today. Could not have had better timing for a chain sharpener comparison video! After watching the video Im gonna go with the stihl sharpener for the following reasons: 1. The price is very reasonable. 2. German made by stihl vs China, so better quality as demonstrated in the video. 3. There is virtually no set up time to begin sharpening. 4. The portability vs a power tool sharpener is better for on the job use. 5. Time to complete sharpening isn't terrible for a manual tool.
