I have a couple of chains that have hit nails though so I was hoping someone could advise on the current options to make the chain uniform again?

Just sharpen it and don't try to make the cutters all the same length or you will waste a lot of chain. A couple shorter will not make much difference.

Resurrecting an old thread I know..........................................

 

So of the current crop of bench sharpener options on ebay or similar can anyone advise on which are worth buying or at least which are best to avoid?

 

Thanks.

 

They all work but you need to be very gentle with them or you will eat up way too much chain , the Aldi chain grinder is no better or worse than the oregon one. With a little patience and practice on a load of old fecked chains you will soon get the hang of it, Brilliant tool if you have a pile of chains the same pitch to sharpen, not so good if you only have a few different ones because of setup.

 

Cant beat the little 12v hand held for taking on site, the stones last for ages if you dont lean on them. Important to use the whole length of the stone and not trough them.
