The universal chainsaw blade sharpener turns a task that would otherwise be considered dangerous, into an easy process that is completed in seconds.

This universal chainsaw blade sharpener is made up of a lightweight ABS plastic external shell that you unclasp and open up to reveal the metal mounting plate. The mounting plate holds two pins, one fixed in place and the other one adjustable. This adjustable pin is what makes this particular chainsaw blade sharpener universal and that is because it can be adjusted so that the two pins can fit the mounting holes of any brand of chainsaw. It is suitable for 14”, 16”, 18” and 20” chainsaws from any brand.

Also contained within the ABS shell of the chainsaw blade sharpener is a whetstone, mounted to a movable plastic extruded plate that lies between the hinges of the shell. All of this together makes a portable instrument that doesn’t take up too much space or require any special carrying equipment. It’s the perfect portable outdoor companion, if your outdoor activities includes cutting down trees or carpentry work.

To use the universal chainsaw blade sharpener, simply unclasp the lock and open up the outer plastic shell. Mount the business end of the chainsaw on the two pins of the mounting plate, making the necessary adjustments to ensure that the blade fits firmly in place. Then close the two halves of the plastic shell and secure the lock. Once you have confirmed that the chainsaw blade sharpener is firmly in place, you can start the chainsaw and press the bottom of the plastic extruded plate gently against a solid surface, allowing the whetstone inside the sharpener lightly touch and sharpen the blades of the chainsaw.

Three to five seconds of light pressure and contact are enough to sharpen the blade. Be sure not to press the base of the sharpener too hard as this could lead to excessive sharpening or may even badly damage the sprockets of the chainsaw. You should also put some bar oil on the whetstone before sharpening to improve its effectiveness and lengthen the life of the whetstone. However, if you do eventually run down the whetstone, don’t worry about the device becoming useless. The whetstone that comes with the universal chainsaw blade sharpener is detachable and the product comes with an extra whetstone for your use. You could even buy extra online.
