Bought this, and it does the job. But you need a dremel ( which you should have anyway)  K

Unless you're going to spend over £250 odd then a file is the best option, especially if you're only doing a chain or two a week. The Stihl 3 in 1 chain files are really good I found. Nice and quick and you don't need that much skill.

I've had mine forever and really like the convenience of having spare chains to swap over and save a few till I have a sharpening session doing 4 or 5 at once. I do use files to sharpen on the saw while cutting.

+1 for the Lidl flora best sharpener

Another thumbs up for the Grandberg. Cracking wee sharpener that also takes down the Rakers to a set height and does so very accurately.

As it’s 12v you can take it with you when working away from the workshop.
