Interesting that my son has got the knack of using a grinder so I've stopped trying to explain how to do it. I'm saying he's better than me= proud dad.

I was downright shocked at how soft the blades were first time I filed them; it's very quick work - on one blade!

Are hedgetrimmer blades made of stuff that is not stern?

Mine seem to 'burr up' fairly fast when cutting woodier material.

Now I keep one cutter for ripe wood and another for soft growth and 'trimming' conifer on the better housing estates hhhh!

A little off your Leylandii Sir? this weekend Sir? Take all weekend Sir with your electric Black 'n' Wrecker.

I know I'm expensive Sir but you wife likes watching my muscles OOOOO!

SUITS YOU SIR!

I really hate to say this, but some of the hardest steel blades I have sharpened were on a cheapy B&Q type machine. Cant remember which one, but it took ages to sharpen.
