Wow. I LOVE it. You're giving credit to 2 of the most entertainig people on youtube. Actually, this is the best thing that happened to me before I started cutting my firewood, which I always do in the spring. And the fact that you mentioned their names on your channel is awesome. You deserve a fair share of applause!
Thanks! I've seen the reviews on the STIHL sharpener and I've seen Pferd Cs X Chain Sharpener at half the price and wondered if they were the same product, out of the same factory. Thanks for confirming that the Pferd is not a cheap Chinese knock-off, but comes out of the same German factory. Will order one immediately.
By the way I bought both the Stihl version and the Pferd version of the sharpener, they are identical. I looked at the knit lines and injection port location dimensions of the molded plastic all identical, including the files that are packaged. Even the direction arrows of teh mold are identical, hence you save significantly with the Pfred version.
Three years later and the Preferred c is $49.99 on Amazon and the Stihl is $44.50 at my local Ace hardware. Both prices suck like everything else in 2022.
Just used my Pferd on my 18" Stihl and it did great. Just need to practice a little bit to get the feel of it and once you get the feel of it it's like you wonder if it's doing anything cause it goes so smoothly (the sharpening that is). Once you take it to the big logs it rips right through them. Love this thing. I was never very good at sharpening chains as they would always curve one way or the other but after sharpening with the Pferd... much straighter cuts. Hopefully never to take one of my poorly sharpened chains in to someone to have them do it right. This thing does the trick.
I ordered the Stihl sharpener after watching this video as Amazon was out of the Pferd for my Echo chainsaw I just bought.The Stihl was a little expensive but will more than pay for itself over time! Thanks for the Good Video!
Thank you for the review,I was about to buy an orange sharpener for twice the price,I had seen this one on Amazon for under $25 and wondered if it was as good as the other one, now I know.
Pferd is a German word for horse and is pronounced 'fee airt' or 'fairt.' Pferd is also the name of a German company that was formed in 1799 to manufacture Farrier tools [rasps and files], which it still does. They are the company that originated this sharpener. I use their 3/16" or .325 gauge tool on my Stihl MS 250. I think it does a better job of sharpening the chain than the electric grinders the dealerships use because of the way the electric grinder vs the file addresses the edge or the angle of attack of each. Sharpen four to six chains and you've made your money back and then can sharpen your chains for 10 minutes of time. Thanks for your review. I have to update my info on pronunciation. I've always said 'faired' when reading Pferd. As a horse trainer and German it's important for me to get that right. Seeing so many people stumble over it caused me to go to websites that specialize in pronunciation of words. I didn't like what I found but I deferred to what I thought was greater knowledge. Then I asked a friend who speaks German and English and who lived in Austria and Germany for many years. His explanation was Pf-air-d. Ah, much better. Just what I'd been saying, 'faired.' The soft 'd' on the end sounds so much more congruous than does the hard 't'. Horses are not harsh. I queried him about possibly High German being different. Nope. In Germany and German speaking Austria and Switzerland, they all say it as 'faired.' Now we all know how to pronounce the name of a company that created a brilliant tool and no one should say P furd. lol
Great video. I bought the orange one from Westlake hardware here in Excelsior Springs ,Mo. It was a little over $40. Very good sharpener. I laughed when you sped up the video when you were sharpening, I was thinking , man I can't go that fast.
The only negative reviews I have seen were for the Stihl version on the Stihl website. They said they file the rakers a bit lower than they preferred. My solution is to use this then the file by hand in between a couple of times, then using this for the fourth sharpening. If it really does cut the rakers a bit too low the hand sharpening in between should balance it out. I let a "professional" tree cutter help me on a couple of big trees. I let him use my Sthil 311 rather than the little cheap 16" saws he used. The chain did need a little touch up and I had already lowered the rakers. He "sharpened" the chain and I had to repair it afterward. He not only filed the cutters the wrong direction, but he also looked like he was playing a fiddle. He had no consistency to his technique. All the angles were off. It wouldn't bite into the wood at all. He claimed, "The chain has too many teeth." He didn't last long. I tried to correct it but it still had some problems. I had my eye on the Sthil 2 in1 filer for a while, so I bought one. After sharpening that chain with this system it made a huge difference. After burning through a tankful of gas bucking a large tree, I touched it up again. That improved it even more. It cut like a new chain.
I've watched Steve Small Engine Saloon and agree. Just watched Bucking Billy Ray and you're right - he's a masterful pro at dropping trees, some of them being real head scratchers for me that he makes seem easy. The three of you are now subscribed to and my trinity go to for all things chainsaw.
Chickanic has a pretty good site for saw maintenance and repair. She did one video on how to easily start any chain saw with just a couple of pulls that I shared with some newbie friends. Basically, you set the choke and slowly pull the cord out till you overcome the compression resistance. Do that a few time, then do a regular crank. It usually starts on the first pull. I do that all the time and it amazes people.
I picked up the Stihl 2 in 1 for $35.00 At my local Stihl dealer location, "Atwoods". Like you said, they are identical other than the color,, works GREAT!
Not identical from what I've been told. Stihl has changed the files and the slots they go into so only Stihl files will work in them. I really hate when companies do that though I love my Stihl MS 250. But that's an Apple move. If true.
Thanks for the time & effort you have put into making this video. I did give it a thumbs up, however, you did introduce an incorrect angle onto the tooth of the blade when sharpening it. The saw & bar must be horizontal at all times before sharpening begins. Steve @ Steve's Small Engine Saloon points out the all importance of this in his video on this subject. The upward angle of your bar in the vise is incorrect, simply place a couple scrap 2x4 blocks beneath the saw to level it up next time. It is all about a precision sharp angle. I like the design aspect of the new 2 in 1 sharpening tool by Pferd/Stihl because there is no flipping of files to be done other than turning the tool over & reversing it. My critique of this new tool is that the rails on it block out the engraved 30° guideline on the tooth itself, forcing one to constantly look at the guide markers on the tool itself, however, it appears the handle of the tool itself may act as a guide for the ever important 30° angle to be maintained on each stroke. For those who might be interested in the Husqvarna version of this tool, I will leave a link below. I have been using it with excellent results for close to 20 years now. Yes, the rattail file needs to be reversed as well as the flat file when going from L to R, however, my view of the engraved guideline on the top of each tooth assures me an exact angle at all times, also I can rotate the file as I sharpen with it. Here is the link below: www.husqvarna.com/us/accessories/chainsaw-sharpeners-filing-equipment/sharp-force-file-guide/653000034/
It does not matter if the bar is level or not . The guide rods will take care of that angle . You have to keep the 2 in 1 file perpendicular to the bar . Steve from "Steve's Small Engine Saloon" has put out the best video on the 2 in 1 file system .
Pause the video at 7.15 and if you look at the left side of the screen at the blue handle there is a top view diagram of the chainsaw facing in a particular direction. If your chainsaw is facing the same direction the diagram above that one shows you the direction in which to grind. I have the Stihl version and it is exactly the same. None of these videos seem to mention it for some reason and it leaves people confused.
Great video, i am planning to buy one for a stihl chainsaw i have as well. I have a question, do you know if the tooth file and the flat file can be replace with the ones you buy separately in a pack from the local stihl dealer? Or do you have to buy a whole new unit once both the files are worn out?. You didn't mention that in the video.
Super product/tool whether it says Pferd or Stihl. For those of you who have seen the Stihl one for $70 I say to you get off Amazon and go to your local Stihl dealer where it can be purchased for around $35. I saw one review where the guy says he paid $79 plus shipping for the Stihl version off Amazon. Who is making the killing? Probably Amazon. Anyway find you one of these, buy it for no more than $35 sharpen your saw like its a new chain and Cut some wood!
The stihl version dropped their price drastically when the Pferd became available. On every advertisement and video I have seen everyone mentions the ease of changing the files, however they fell to mention that each is size specific. You can't change file sizes which means if you have different size saws/chains you must buy one of these for each. Which was very disappointing to learn after mine was delivered.
You are correct about Stihl dropping their price. I noticed that too. I have three different sharpeners and have three different round file replacement boxes for them. The flat file looks to be the same in all three.
The Pferd CS X is a great sharpener, especially if one uses it correctly. I noticed that you used an unconventional method. Chainsaw files are meant to be pushed forward and away from you, and not pulled towards you. Fortunately you did hold the tool with the arrow pointing towards you and therefore the files were pointed in the correct direction. However, using that method, one has less control than if one were standing on the opposite side of the saw/bar and pushing forward and into the gullet. Good review otherwise.
I enjoyed this video enough to buy this on Amazon. Thank you for helping us out on sharpening tips. I am new to chainsaws. I just bought a 18" Ego. I cut a 30" x 45' oak tree down with it. Now the blade needs sharpening to get it fresh and sharp.
Hi Mr. House. Im not a saw ologist but i purchase Stihl. Did you special order a bar that has characters painted upside down? Just looked so from my angle . If it has the oiling hole in the right place, i want one.
Is there a reason for those two teeth to not staggered like the rest. I have been using Stihl chains and have not seen that on the normal chains I buy. Thanks for a great video. I have a Pferd Cs X also.
It may depend on bar length. I have a Stihl 290 with 18" bar, and it has the pair of non-staggered teeth [on the original chain]. Convenient when sharpening, as it's not always obvious which teeth are shinier without bending over all the time.
I am not sure how I'm doing this backwards. I've been using the same files for quite some time and they are still working fabulously. No damage that I can detect. I've yet to need to replace them.
At first I thought you were sharpening backwards too. But then you said your strokes were in the direction of the arrow and that's right. I'm used to "pushing" on the files and so I'm filing from the engine end. You're "pulling" on your strokes and you are at the toe end of the bar when you sharpen. I thought your technique was funny at first, but I realize with my "pushing" technique that when filing one side of the bar the engine tends to get in the way and it's difficult to have consistent strokes for both sides. Your technique avoids the problem of the engine getting in the way. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the video.
I tried to sharpen the teeth one time and I would only touch up the depth gauges every 3rd sharpening to save some time and get cutting again but it just slows down production. This tool would save me that time.
Hey bub, might want to put some eye PPE on. Save your eyes. The first time you see someone with splinters removed from their eyes, it will set ya straight. Also, brush screens will save your face. Great review. Keep em coming.
You better get your facts strait on pricing because i can buy stihl 2 in ones all day long for less $39.00 in Oregon and Washington state and don't nee to wait for shipping!
Interesting. I figured it was the same thing but different logos and colors. Apparently the build quality is different. I'd be curious to see a comparison video if you felt like uploading one.

To begin sharpening slightly over tighten the chain, it keeps it from moving around as you sharpen making the process more precise.

Hi, I believe your doing it backwards. Always point the device away from the saw motor. By going backwards you are damaging your files.

@@Scotcho64 thanks
Looks like your bar may need a good dressing.
Well done
Just ordered a more expensive Sthil sharpener, could have saved some money.
Great
Great tool. . I got theStihl for 40 USD
It's about $10 on eBay... (You'll wait longer because it's coming from China)
Those are Chinese made clones. These are made in Germany.
They need to make it 16 inches long
You better get your facts strait on pricing because i can buy stihl 2 in ones all day long for less $39.00 in Oregon and Washington state and don't nee to wait for shipping!
My facts are based on the time the video was made. You can still get the Pferd for less than that.
There’s no comparison in the quality I have a stihl one and the blue one I’m afraid the stihl is expensive for a reason quality
Interesting. I figured it was the same thing but different logos and colors. Apparently the build quality is different. I'd be curious to see a comparison video if you felt like uploading one.
Wrong. Just bought the Stihl one with an extra file for $41.30.
At the time when the video was made it was not wrong.
@@Scotcho64 People are stupid and don't realize this video is two years old. I bet they get shocked when the news changes day to day. Well, I mean not right now, but, yea...
B
Pferd is Horse in German
Get what you pay for pferd lack quality , more flex than Stihl i know i own one...
Pferd makes the Stihl sharpener. Only difference is color.
@@Scotcho64 And you pay for the name! Which is why I saved $20 by ordering PFerd!
