Stihl 2 in 1 Easy File Chainsaw Chain Sharpener .325"

Have used single files for many years which did a good job but this Stihl 2 in 1 is without better, more accurate and manages depth gauge all at the same time and is quicker too. The chain cuts just that bit better too so have bought two of these files in different sizes for my two chainsaws. Yes they cost a lot compared to a single file but they will last for ages.

These should be provided with every chainsaw. It is an excellent tool and very easy to use compared to separate flat and round files.

Used it,it works.Bit tricky at first but sharpened well.Quick delivery.

Works well- takes most of the skill and judgement out of sharpening chain. Has stayed effective through first 5-6 chain sharpenings.It is very "unclear" why so expensive, as there is very little to it - just some simple files and plastic ends.

After using chainsaws for over 15 years, I’ve tried just about everything to get a decent edge: freehand filing, guides of all types, dremel power tools and machine sharpening. Nothing comes close to the speed and accuracy of this device.In part it’s because of the excellent quality files Stihl includes, but mainly because it’s supremely easy to use. Four or five stokes puts a razor-like edge to your chain, and files down the risers gently but perfectly.Ensure you buy the right size and watch the how-to-use videos on YouTube (oddly, Stihl’s is useless).Finally the price: it’s not cheap, but if you do a lot of sawing (and you really should sharpen after every session) it soon pays for itself in terms of time saved.

Why didn’t I just buy one of these a few years ago? I ask myself that question ever time I use it.Since buying this size for my big saw, I’ve bought another which fits the smaller saw and my pruning saw. Yes, it’s that good!So easy, anyone can now sharpen a chain as good as anyone hand sharpening. One big advantage with the easy file is that it files down the depth gauge at the same time.I give every tooth 3 passes and it just like a new chain. It takes me less than 5 minutes to do a 62 link chain. Unlike machine sharpening (which has its place) you’re not taking excess material out of your chain and at the same time, not over heating your cuttting edge. Just my opinion.Do yourself a favour and buy a genuine Stihl easyfile though. The files that come with them are first class as you’d expect from stihl. You can also buy the replacement round and flat files for when the originals wear out.

Good bit of kit spot on

This is the best chain sharpener I've ever had. I've never been very successful when it comes to sharpening chains. I'm simply not accurate enough to get good results. This bit of kit removes skill from the equation, and if I can manage to turn out a sharp chain within five minutes or so that will actually cut wood then anyone can. Even my neighbour, who is a mechanical engineer and understands what to do, says its the best file he's ever had. It's simplicity to use, with the holder sitting the file in exactly the right place to file the cutter, while also resetting the depth controller. The guides ensure you're always sharpening in the right place and to the right depth. The most difficult thing, and it's not really too difficult, is working out which way round the tool needs to be, but there's an arrow printed on the holder to show you the direction the file works in. It also makes it easy to hold it at the correct angle to the chain bar, so the only thing you need worry about is keeping it flat. To help me get started I found some YouTube videos which demonstrated how to use it. They helped a lot. As someone who had to throw chains away when they got blunt because I couldn't sharpen them properly, this file has opened my eyes. Get one and you'll never look back.

Ich besitze 3 Kettensägen (davon 2 mit .325 Ketten) und schleife meine Ketten selber. Bisher verwendete ich dazu eine Kettenschärfmaschine und war nie so richtig mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden. Die Ketten waren nie so richtig scharf, wie sie vom Werk kamen oder vom LaMa-Händler. Außerdem wird sehr viel Material entfernt und es besteht die Gefahr des Ausglühens. Durch Zufall bin ich auf das 2in1 Schärfgerät von Stihl aufmerksam geworden und konnte dazu Videos auf YouTube gesehen.Ich habe nun das erste Mal Ketten mit dem 2in1 Schärfgerät geschliffen und bin nur begeistert. Das Schleifen geht sehr einfach von der Hand. Durch die Konstruktion hält man automatisch den richtigen Winkel ein. Man muss nur darauf achten, das Schärfgerät gerade halten. Die Ketten sind wieder sehr scharf und ich bin mehr als begeistert und es wird nicht viel Material abgenommen, da man nur ca. 3-5 Mal feilen muss. Zudem kann man das Gerät mit in den Wald nehmen, um dort nachzuschleifen.Wenn man bedenkt, dass das Schleifen beim Händler ca. 5€ pro Kette kostet, hat man die Kosten für das Gerät je nach Holzmenge in 1-2 Jahren wieder erwirtschaftet. Da ich so begeistert bin, habe ich auch für meine anderen Ketten in 3/8 auch ein 2in1 Schärfgerät bestellt
