There is a very handy tool called a Dremel. Even has a rounded emery wheel and polishing paste in the kit. Nice job, but that is a lot of work when a $40 tool that will also do a multitude of other tasks can do it much quicker.

[@jansmit4628]

Nice video on sharpening the tool. To avoid rust, you should also apply some grease on the blades after cleaning the blades before storing them. After several grease sessions, the blades will inherit a thin film of grease on them which protects it from corrosion. If a person takes good care of a tool, the tool will work perfectly for him or her.

"Sharp as a razor" is wrong. The edge isn't durable enough to hold up. You're not trimming your beard; you're trimming wood of variable hardness. Go look at a factory edge on one in the store and make it no sharper than that.

Thanks bro

[@SarahWinterbottom-dv3tm]

Very good demonstration of how to do it, although you forgot to ad a film of oil to them before you put them back together, that helps prevent rust in between the two sides ,the nut and bolt can also be done, a dab of superglue on the end of the bolt after the nut is screwed down will prevent the nut from self loosening, which can sometimes be an issue,

[@tipsintelligent2605]

Thank you for suggesting me, I overlooked this

[@JoeandAngie]

Perhaps Loktite instead of cyanoacrylate (CN)...

[@Steakfrie]

Give non toxic furniture paste wax a try instead of oil that will run off. Works as a lube in the pivot joint also. Carpenters use paste wax on tools and bare metal table tops to keep them slick and rust free. Oil can contaminate plants. The best rust prevention is cleaning and drying secateurs after each use. The nut you see on this secateurs is a locking nut. It has a plastic insert that prevents loosening.

[@oldbatwit5102]

Look at the video. That nut has an insert that will keep it locked on, no need to add anything.

[@Kate-uo5zv]

Use a FN file on the bevel. Take the burr of the concave side and clean the sap off. My loppers sit out in the rain all year. Rust doesn't play.

[@tipsintelligent2605]

Okay

[@ROKuberski]

There are many ways to accomplish this task. This is just one, and certainly not the best one. It's not necessary to polish the tool unless you want to display it on the wall. This tool is designed for rough use. Someone will jam it into the dirt to cut roots off, it will be thrown in a drawer to rust again. However you do want it sharp and to operate properly. Oil the joints, and use a stone or even a file to make it sharp. Clean it with a wire brush. This ain't rocket science.
