I hear a lot of guys use Fluid Film to lubricate and protect the blades once the blades are sharpened. It also prevents against rust and keeps the blades moving like butter, curious to know your thoughts regarding that? Enjoyed the video.

[@pollodinero]

Took my older trimmer in to be sharpened took a month for them to tell me they would have to take the whole thing apart in order to sharpen the blades because they would have to be cleaned with a Dremel and should me how and why it would be difficult with the electric... ( True Value) hedger It would be about 45-60 dollars and I should invest in a new one. I said "I like this one because it actually locks on making it easier for me to move around and easier on my hands". I also said well have a Dremel so I guess I'll do it myself. YOUR VIDEO WAS REALLY HELPFUL! I LIKE THE SOFT MUSIC IN THE BACK AND GET RIGHT INTO IT STYLE. I followed you for more helpful ideas THANK YOU ! I purchased a small cordless rotary tool one like you suggested though because, well it just made sense keep up the good work!@

Thanks for the tips. Just bought a stihl hedge trimmer and want to keep it in top shape for a long time. I couldn't find the stihl cleaner, but was able to find Fluid Film for $10. Cheaper than Stihl cleaner and also intended for use on hedge trimmers.

I take them off machine and use Simple Green to clean them first. Then I use a small air driven belt sander to sharpen, reasemble and lubricate. That way I get the resins out that builds up in between the blades.

[@113-p7b]

l only trim my hedge about 70 meters once a year (spring mostly) and l sharp my blades about once in two years, l dont own a mowing service like you but this was helpful

[@val3nt358]

the reason to sharpen the blades every 12 hours of usage or daily is so the grass wont die in the long run

[@val3nt358]

dull blades pretty much rip apart your grass. it has to be a clean cut and it mulches more successfully resulting in better decomposition for the grass. including with leaves

[@janedowe2682]

Really good video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.

That's a hard question to answer. It depends on what type of turf your servicing , how often, and your budget?
