I have one of these for several years and it’s brilliant. A good tip if I can share is to give the the blade 3 passes on each tooth every time you refuel and not wait until the blade is completely dull. It only takes a couple of minutes and it keeps the chain in optimal condition.

Actually wore out my first chain on oaks, maples, osage orange, elm trees etc. This tool is well worth the $35 in time savings and chain renewal. This is an excellent video on using the gig.

@thomaslaessig9669 4 жыл бұрын

I've been using this sharpener for about 3 months and it's really great. Five things; 1- Use a rag, wood, or plastic in your vice to reduce damage to the bar. You can see the damage done to his bar in the video. 2- Do not sharpen a tooth that is toward the end of the saw as the blade begins to turn the corner because the guide rails will not be at the proper height. 3- I tighten the chain a little so there is less deflection as you push on the tooth and I use the chain brake then cut 3 or 4 teeth before advancing. 4-The chain is typically very sharp when your done and the depth gauge is very aggressively cut. This does create some chattering while cutting as you can see in the video of the chainsaw use. 5- He didn't cover the amount of times he files but for me it depends on the condition of the chain. Usually two passes for light touch up or 5 to 6 if you've hit a rock. Overall an absolutely terrific tool, I can't recommend it enough. Stihl all the way. Great video!!

@mickmcloughlin1646 13 күн бұрын

These files are great. I've got one for each of my saws. Once you get the feel for it, it takes no time to sharpen a chain. A little pricey, but well worth the money instead of using just a single straight file, and another one for the raker. Seriously one of Sthil's better ideas/tools ever.

This video is one of the reasons I went with Stihl, and bought the sharpener. Going to use it this morning to shapen my chain.

I just picked one of these up not even a week ago. Excellent investment for anyone that uses saws normally an sharpens their own chains. Works fantastically. Never have I ever had a chain so sharp in such a short period of time.

Nice video. Very helpful comparison to a new chain. As an occasional chainsaw user, this sharpener worked well for me. I started out just using a round file. The cutting tooth is L shaped and has a vertical and horizontal. I was really great at sharpening the vertical part. The (top) horizontal part was difficult to sharpen consistently as I had to hold the file at exactly the right height without having it roll over the top. The guide bars on this sharpener allow you to get the round file to just the right height and keep it there. It is hard to see the sharpness of the horizontal portion. The angle markings on the square bars are really useful. I'm a bit surprised that you hold the tool flat (90 degrees to the bar) given that the teeth have set (angled to the outside). The set gives you a nice kerf (cut). Since the depth guides are only .025 inch, I'm not sure all my sharpening below that depth with a freehand round file did any good at all.

I love and own the 2 in 1 sharpener. Using the vice grip and some pressure makes a difference in the quality of cut (you will see it in your chips). Thanks for the video. I did not know about the skip chain. Learn more everyday.

I bought the 2 in 1 . It works great. I have always had problems sharpening my chains. I've tried everything, just couldnt do it. I bought this, took my worst beat up chain. Gave each tooth about 25 passes and it cuts like a new chain. I am so excited, no more chain sharpening problems.

Thanks for the video. Just picked up 2 in 1. I don’t know that I totally agree with you on the directions. I thought they were pretty poor for someone who has never sharpened a chain. I had it pretty much figured out and your video was a big help. Just from playing around with I think putting in a vice is a big help. Thumbs up and Thanks again!

Steve, I have really enjoyed many of your videos. You are a good communicator, direct, and comprehensive. No B.S. I bought and used this sharpener today, THEN I watched this video. You are right on the mark (as expected), this is a great tool. I am looking to get rid of my Oregon 520 because this $45 tool does a better job, with less hassle. Thank you!

Thanks Steve. I bought my first chainsaw last week. I bought a Stihl MS231 and bought one of the 2 in 1 sharpeners at the same time. The instructions are easy to follow for a newby but Stihl should include a link to this episode of yours. I love to learn by watching others not from printed instructions. You’ve got yourself another subscriber mate! Loved your demonstration. I’m sure to be using my 2 in 1 quite a bit using my saw on Aussie hardwoods

Yes Yes Yes! It works. I bought this sharpener 2 years ago, left in my saw case. Yesterday I watched your video after hitting my chain on a cement block while cutting wood blocks. Instantly dull as hell. So, I tried this new tool, and success!!!!!

For the first time since I've been sharpening chains, 35 years, I can resharpen to cut as well as new. I just had a saw I had lent out that they cut rocks with and only a few strokes per tooth brought it back to cutting again. It's fast and easy. Manufactured by Pferd, marketed by Stihl, you can probably pick up up blue Pferd one a few dollars cheaper if you can be bothered or a Chinese one real cheap if you're brave.
