2 in 1 Easy File Chainsaw Chain Sharpener 3/8" P

I have to admit that I don’t have a lot of experience sharpening chainsaw chains, but that might also be the beauty of this tool. I followed the instructions and sharpened the blades on one side of the chain with about 3 strokes each. Once I’d made it all the way around, I did the other side. This tool makes maintaining the proper angle easy and it simultaneously knocks down the depth gauges while sharpening. The seasoned veteran may think this overkill and suggest you need nothing more than a round file. While likely true, this tool nets you results as if it was sharpened by someone much more experienced, without the time commitment and learning curve. Easy to use, effective and not outlandishly expensive. It’s a win. I definitely recommend it.

A great, quality product from Stihl. It's my go to sharpener for my chainsaw. Quick and easy to use, no messing about. Great value for money.

It was a cool crisp February afternoon when I heard a gentle knock on my front door. By the time I got to the door and opened it I had just a glance at the big brown truck leaving my driveway. A quick scan of the front porch led to the discovery of a brown cardboard box with a happy Prime smile emblazoned on the side. It was the big day! Only two days after placing my order, my new Stihl 3/8” 2 in 1 Easy File Chainsaw Chain Sharpener had been delivered! I headed out to my shop to try it out on my Stihl chainsaw, with which, only a few days ago I carelessly tried to sever a rock that was lying out of sight, just on the other side of the fallen pine tree I was working on. After that unfortunate episode my Stihl 361 chainsaw was pretty-much useless. I was happy to see the unit was expertly packaged and came with its own protective clear plastic pouch. I marveled at how well the sharpener was made. From the quality files to the sturdy polymer handles that are embossed with idiot proof graphics designed to help me handle my sharpening chores. I secured my saw, and started in. After a look at the graphics, I quickly got the hang of restoring my severely damaged cutters to pristine razor-sharp form, and at the same time lowering the depth gauge. A few minutes later I was out at the aforementioned tree standing in a pile of sawdust with a very large grin on my face! I just love a quality tool that produces quality results! The Stihl 2 in 1 Easy File Chainsaw Sharpener restored my damaged chain to factory fresh cutting ability in a mater of minutes! I bought another one for my smaller saw and I would recommend this sharpener in a heartbeat!

be sure to get the the correct guage for your chain

Would give this 10 stars if I could. Easiest, fastest and cheapest way to keep your chainsaw chain sharp. You don't need to be a chainsaw mechanic to use it - lots of good videos on line that step you through what is really a very simple process. A few minutes and your saw chain is sharp and ready to go. You do need to know what kind of chain you have - size, pitch etc. Again videos clearly tell you how to identify the right sharpener for YOUR chain. I have two different saws and have two of these. Don't pay to have your chains sharpened any more. There are unbranded versions but I like knowing these come from a supplier like Stihl.
