should also of talked about balancing the blade after, since it's just as important.

Great point! I’ll have to make another video to address it. Thanks for the comment

Thanks, what about the Dremel blade sharpening kit.

[@VerifiedHandyMan]

Dremel works great, probably similar to the drill bit but easier to handle. If non-ferrous you won’t get sparks

I use my Kobalt 24v cordless angle grinder with 120 grit flap sanding disk. Use it to touch up the cordless hedge trimmer too!

Angle grinder is the modern Swiss Army knife

The video shows a file being used wrong. It took you a half hour because you did not use the tool correctly. Files cut on the push stoke (just like a hand saw or plane.). Also you do NOT file a long straight edge at right angle to the blades. Just like a knife, the cutter is drawn across the edge at an angle and along the length, removing material evenly along the length of the edge. Right angle material removal will result in a wavy edge - regardless of what it is that you are shaping

Thanks for the insight, I will make an updated video!

How much does sharpening actually help? How often should I do it

[@VerifiedHandyMan]

If you ask five people you'll get five different answers..Personally I do it at the beginning of each summer (Midwest). I notice it helps get through the thick grass easier when sharpened, leaves no uncut grass behind if I'm moving fast.

Dude, I don't mean to be rude in any way... but why did you sub to this account? It has no content, it is an alt account I only use for comments. People subscribe to it and I don't know why, please help me understand... I am genuinely curious. You are the first sub that has a channel of their own, so the first time I can ask anyone. Feel free to delete this message after, as I don't want to clutter your comments up.

[@VerifiedHandyMan]

I saw you comment on another channel I follow (Chickanic). You seemed to have great insight. Thought maybe I could learn more. Doesn’t cost me a penny to subscribe!

@@VerifiedHandyMan Alrighty, thanks for explaining... feel free to delete, I'll replace the comment for the algorithm if you choose to, with something better.
