A&R Sports The Re-Edger Multi Function Tool

I am a busy hockey official I use this every 5 skates keeps them sharp. Great deal for the. Money.

As a month of a hockey player who has practice 3-4 times a week, this comes in handy. I use it after every practice my daughter has, and her skates feel like they did after they were professionally sharpened. It takes out any knicks that the blades might get some walking from the locker rooms to the ice and it's small enough to put in your back pocket.

Work great

Well made. Updated design is nice

Our local rink sharpens skates for only $5, so that isn't a big deal, money wise, but I wanted something to help keep that just sharpened feeling a little longer. These do not replace a quality sharpening but make that edge last a lot longer and keep them biting well. Two quick drags along the blade are all I need to feel the ceramic sharpeners hone the edges back to where they should be. It doesn't wear the blade down, as it is basically straightening the outside edge and making it line up the way it should. It probably takes a tiny amount of metal off as you "sharpen" but so does skating on ice.This is part of my routine after skating now, so they will be ready the next time and know that I will be gliding easy around the corners or have plenty of power. I would buy these again.Follow up: On my second season of skating and still using this on my skates, which has kept them in great shape and I haven't need to sharpen them yet. I skate at least twice a week and it keeps the blade in good shape.

I love these, they save me a lot of time and money. I use them before ever game for a nice new edge and only have to get my skates sharpened every couple of months instead of every few weeks. I use them on both player skates a d my goalie skates.

Only 1 or 2 swipes needed as instructed. Any more and the edge is too sharp. I planned to get a professional sharpening anyway, so I played with this to get a good feel for it. 4 swipes was way too sharp, but a very careful light single pass with the stone along the botton face (stone is really only intended for the side) removed the edge so I could start over.The stone worked great at removing small dents in my daughters blades and 2 swipes gave the edge a good refresh to hold her over until I could get a real sharpening. Stays in the bag in case an edge is lost.

So I has hesitant on this product as I have seen many products try to do similar things back in the late 80s/early 90s which would ruin steel. But I needed a honing stone for my new pair of Pro Stock APX 2s and since I am currently in a area without a skate sharpener that I trust I have to make my sharpening last as long as they can.The sharping on my LS3 steel needed to have a stone go over it a few times to remove the burrs so I did that initially. After a few swipes on each side of each blade it was smooth as silk. I took the skates out for a dry run for about 2 hours and after I got home tried the reedging tool. I was quite impressed with the results as it brought back the same sharpness the blades had before I took them out earlier in the day. I am aware that it in no way can replace a good sharpening but as someone who prefers to have very sharp edges at all times (it helps with being a tall guy on skates) this will allow me to get the most out of my sharpenings.
