This is a worth while product for the homeowner who cuts on the weekend or a few times a year. I have a bench mounted sharpener that is now collecting cobwebs. This sharpener is well made and about 1/2 the price of the identical branded one.
About 5 minutes to sharpen a blade. This saves time over bench sharpeners. It knocks down the rakers as you file, another time saver. It does a better job sharpening than my bench mount.
The stick does what it claims. Definately worth the purchase. It's like magic. Great addition to the workshop.
Got this to clean pickleball paddle. Works great and removes all the residue allowing paddle to perform at its peak! Stick appears to be lasting a long time. Helps keep the belt/disc clear of debris, prolonging the use.
This does nothing for a dirty sanding belt, it wears down about a 1/2” just touching your belt.
