  1. I have the Oregon bench mounted one. It's good when you get the hang of it. If you go too quick you'll knacker the cutters and turn them blue! I have two of the bar mounted hand sharpeners. If you take your time with them I've had it cutting quicker than a new chain! I have a dremel kit also. You need a steady hand for that though Out on site I have the plain old hand file. I use pretty much everything. Depending how I feel.
  2. Well I'm sure you could get them from a night on the town.
