I've used this kit for years. Good for a quick touch up while you're working but plan on replacing the files regularly. If you only use a small saw a couple times a year, you're golden. If you're using a 16 inch or larger, get thee longer files. You will quickly appreciate the bigger stroke and longer file life.

And no, that's not WSS. (she was thinking it though)

ive determined that for my baby 16 inch chainsaw i am just going to buy new chains when they go dull at $5-8 a pop rather than hand file which I have no interest in spending time doing.

please share where you are finding $5-8 chains. I hunt every time I need to buy, and the absolute cheapest I can find for a 16" oregon bar are $12-15/each. I'd love another dozen at the prices you claim

I concur. Generic chains for my Oregon 18-inch can be had for around $5. Takes me around 30 min for a full proper sharpening. I figure my time is worth more than $10/hr. OTOH, I do still sharpen the better chains as they will hold an edge quite a bit longer than the Chinasian chains and are quite a bit more costly to replace.

I've got one of Oregon's electric bench top sharpeners which really works well. Too much money if you just have one small saw not used very often, but I have 5 saws ranging up to 36" bar. I learned long ago to avoid many of the files now on the market because they're foreign made stuff that just doesn't work well, too soft and won't cut saw chain steel. Given that Oregon is behind these and they have decent ratings on Amazon this might be a useful set.

I have one of these that's about 15 years old and seen a fair amount of use and is getting noticeably duller, so I bit on this deal. I use it on 3 different chainsaws and a pole pruner. It's been fine for all 4 tools, including my Stihl MS290 w/a 20" bar. Anyhow, the weird thing I experienced with this order (of just this one item) was that I happened to have a $11.39 gift card balance and the checkout automatically selected that as my method of payment and then applied a "Courtesy Credit" that I didn't know I had for the remaining balance. Unexpected, but thanks, Amazon. :-)

I have this, and it's almost more trouble than its worth. The files are to short, and they bend in the wooden handle. Also, lots of time and frustration sharpening the chain. And you are never going to get the angles right with this tool.

If you use a chain saw a lot, then it's better to buy an electric sharpener that attaches to a bench.

If you don't use a chain saw much, then it's better just to buy a new chain when your old one gets dull.

I use the dremel sharpener attachment for my 18" stihl. I use it on my corded dremel. I've been thrilled with it, especially because I had not found much other uses for my dremel that I received as a gift.
Takes like 5 minutes to sharpen a 18" chain.

Before discovering this I was in the same camp as others, buying a new chain more frequently rather than sharpen.
It may not be a full, proper sharpen but it's good enough for me

I know an old timer, who's been cutting trees down for 50 years, that's how he sharpens his blades now also.

The Pferd CS-X file system is typically around $35 and it is extremely fast, easy and pretty much idiot proof. (I'm sure someone could prove me wrong) The Stihl is the exact same unit as the Pferd just rebranded. Like almost everything there are knock-offs available that sell for about $20. The nice thing about it is that it is an all-in-1 set-up that sharpens teeth and levels rakers/depth gauge all in one step.

In any case, throw one of those in your chainsaw box and you can sharpen in about 5 minutes without any fuss. I typically, sharpen every gas refill because it's so fast and easy to get done.

Bought it earlier this year but found it more convenient just to purchase new chains.

Can this be used to sharpen a hedge trimmer blade?
