Which Chainsaw Sharpener Is Best (2024)? Let's Find Out!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2024
- Sharpeners: Timberline, Totile (knockoff Timberline), Granberg, Stihl, PRETEC, EzzDoo, and Honoson. Let’s compare the chainsaw sharpeners that are designed to sharpen chainsaws while the chain is still mounted on the saw. I previously tested chainsaw sharpeners to include bench mounted ones that require removing the chainsaw chain from the saw. Chainsaw sharpeners compared for speed of sharpening chains, durability, sharpness of sharpened chainsaw chisel, and cutting speed of sharpened chain through a test log.

@@ProjectFarmbetter than ISO certs
I already use this channel like consumer reports. I don't buy without hearing what he has to say.
certified spec and spec comparison sheets could be good too
I don't have a tree, let alone a chainsaw, yet somehow I'm captivated by this. 😂
Thank you!
I have 5 chainsaws and 2 small trees. My friends and family love it.
me too.
@@rydplrs71, 5 chainsaws and only 2 trees makes you a "stumpy" guy!
@@ProjectFarm Can you do a test on woodworking bar clamps?
I use Bessey but they're expensive.
Tried some cheaper ones but the 'teeth' on the bar wore out & failed to grip in no time.
That sliding Stihl sharpener is spectacular. I spent several days non-stop cutting with an MS360 saw removing a couple of enormous trees and that thing was a life saver. After some practice, it only takes a few minutes to put a new edge on the entire chain. If you do it every time you fill the saw with gas it really keeps things moving. It was $40 when I bought it on Amazon, but it was worth every penny.
Thanks for the feedback.
The best part about it is that it takes the rakers down with the cutters! It's the best sharpener I've found.
That's the one that caught my eye, as well. The dual action, the simplicity and the solid compact form, easily make up for it not producing the absolute sharpest results.
It’s now $50 probably bc of this video 😂
Agree. Easy, portable, no batteries or plug in and sharpens really well. Only down side is listening to knuckle draggers go on and on and ON about how they can do it freehand and you'd be laughed outta the woods using it and you've gotta hand in your 'man card'......🙄🥱
Stihl sharpener is supposed to by PUSHED only, not pushed and pulled (as you appear to be doing at the 11:00 mark). I own 4 different sizes and it's all I use. Takes care of sharpening and adjusting the depth at the same time. Excellent tool.
Actually pulled only towards you, but your right..arrow is towards person ...yep he'll find out the hard way when everyone sees this video and ruins their new chains😅😅😅😅
He’s not cutting while pulling. Maybe turn the volume up on your device. There is little to no sound when he comes back to him meaning he is not actually grinding anything but just getting the sharpener back to him to PUSH forward for sharpening.
Have owned the Stihl sharpener for years. It’s fantastic. The fact that it files down the raker is a game changer. You can sharpen the chain many times before needing to replace.
Indeed it is the best besides a good hand file but for in the field can't be beat.
There was another UA-cam guy, home star something or other, but he did the Stihl sharpener and said he'd ONLY use that Stihl all in one sharpener.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes. I have a clone of it from AliExpress and I can sharpen a chainsaw chain as well as a seasoned lumberjack with a hand file.
Yup, good point.
After years of sharpening chains with round files, I figured out the secret is lifting the file upward against the cutting edge as you stroke. Thanks for the videos.
yep, that is hardest part, always wigle
You are so correct and when you can wipe the burr off that top edge, you are good to go. 👍
im down here about to leave a comment saying exactly this. i worked for an arborist and learned the same thing
EDIT: the tool i used had a square file that also calibrated the depth gauge, and was attached to the handle, allowing me to do both jobs at once
Yes! A little flick. I use an electric stihl and it's five steady forward strokes (as if using a file) and a little upwards on the last stroke
But if you use the correct size file you shouldn't have to lift the file.
The best chain saw sharpener I've ever seen is the teenage kid that works at the hardware store in town. He should be on this test lineup too
Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive!
I have been using the Timberline system for the past 6 years. I am 64 years old and run seven saws. I can do my 20" Rancher under 15 min. My chains last 3 times longer and tooth consistency is second to none. I have found using a 3/16 cutter on a 7/32 chain improves cutting performance. The Timberline cutters are Tungsten steel and will do 50 plus sharpenings. Best money I have ever spent. Sharpenings can be done in the woods, tailgate or benchtop.
Thanks for sharing!
I have hand filed beginning at the grand old age of 12 under the stern supervision of my Grandfather, he did me well!
I also use the Timberline system, and have found it to produce the best results of any sharpener I have tried. I also like the Stihl, but dislike having to put my saws in a vice to use it accurately. The Timberline can be used anywhere, and once you are used to it, the time to sharpen is greatly reduced.

@@ProjectFarmya gotta do the cowboy hat one on grainger if you do this!
Yeah
@@ProjectFarm Poor cousin Eddie! I pitty his head 😂
Props to this man for sharpening every chainsaw tooth for every test.
Thanks!
That would take a long time, that’s some serious dedication
I suggested the Timberline for a review a couple years back. Thank you for the review and for reading my mind by reviewing the knock-off. Great content and usual.
You're welcome!
thank you for all you do to help select the best tool for the job
You are welcome!
I love your videos, i just want to say as a chainsaw enthusiast i use the Stihl sharpener and if you put the bar in a bench vise that is mounted at a comfortable work height and position you can get an extremely precise hold and push on the sharpener a shrarpen sharper than new is possible. keep making the great videos thank you we love them.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, use my workshop vice to hold my Stihl saws while sharpening with the Stihl hand sharpener. Fast, fun, and friendly.
Wow, what a tedious work with the dulling of the chainsaws and sharpening them again and finally testing those with the 4 by 4s. You have a strong will power and perseverance, which merits admiration! Thank you and God bless!
Thank you!
Yeah that's a LOT of work! Dulling, testing, sharpening, swapping!
@@volvo09, all cutting and no filing makes the chain the weakest link in the chain....
That’s why you & I are watching his videos, every week
4x4 look like 3x3 to me. Tell me I'm wrong. But no big deal. 😂😮
This channel alone has saved me so much time and money. Hands down one of my very favorites on the platform!
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Got tired of messing around and bought an Oregon bench mounted grinder over 20 years ago and haven't looked back.I flip the bar every time I sharpen the chain. Nice work as usual.
Thanks!
I help run a tree trimming service and we use the stihl sharpener that knocks down the rakers at the same time. Great sharpener that does it all with correct angle markings on it so you know you're sharpening it right. Great video as always
Thanks!
Okay - this is ironic. I was just about to walk out the door and head to Home Depot to look for a chainsaw sharpener.
Excellent timing.
Perfect timing!
Coincidental is the word you are looking for, not ironic.
You think Google is listning... but its projekt farm!
@@Kingfisher1215 Serendipitous might be a better fitting word
I needed a toaster last week. Haven't bought one yet though.
When I purchased my Stihl chainsaw a few years ago I also purchased the manual sharpener. I was impressed with how well it worked. I have manually sharpened my chainsaw for decades. I tried the adapter to my dremel tool several years ago, but felt it didn’t make a long lasting edge. I now use the Stihl sharpener on all of my saws. Love it and have recommended it to several people.
Thanks for sharing!
@@ProjectFarm If you do another show down, I would like to see the dremel attachment and plus any that use drills as the power soure.
I cut about six cord of wood per year. For the last two years I have used the EZZDOO. I free hand without the guide. Great results. Very happy. Tip: When you order the EZZDOO also order three or four boxes of stones the right size for your particular chain. The EZZDOO only comes with three stones, one each, three different sizes. You will need spare stones in your size. Great video.
Thanks!
I have the Stihl sharpener - it's great! Fast and thorough - gets you back up and running in no time. Glad I bought it.
Thank you for sharing!
Stihl sharpener is also known as a Pferd sharpener, and in my opinion, it is the easiest, very effective, and my personal favorite.
The Stihl is ideal for resharpening in the field and the Timberline for example is good for sharpening done at home.
I have the Pferd with the blue handles. It's about $9 less than the Stihl. Husqvarna sells something similar that os only $34. Then there are the Chinese Pferd knockoffs for about $23 I think. Not saying these all need to be tested but......
Same from the last video review.. love it
Sharpening a chainsaw blade is absolutely on of the most annoying and tiresome things to do. This video is SOLID GOLD information people! PF knocks it out of the park once again!
Thanks!
?? It's fast and easy to file a saw, you don't even need to take the chain off the bar and you get scary sharp results and smooth and fast cutting. Just learn to hold a file in your hand. =)
@@HQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQ100% agree all these sharpeners are gimmicks except the Stihl combinfile
@@HQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQHQalthough Todd does a fantastic job with this channel.
when you put a new chain on, just do "maintenance" files with the stihl file every tank or two of gas. just real quick 1-2 swipes on each cutter. takes 3minutes and it stays sharp all day.
Nice work, as always. Thanks for explaining the parts of the chain. I use the Stihl and get better with each try. Cheers!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Normally I would just buy a new chain for my chainsaw, but just as you said, the prices have gone way up so it pays to sharpen them. Thank you for another fantastic testing video!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I would be interested in a comparison between wire splice methods, especially for automotive use. There are a lot of opinions on the internet about soldering. crimp connectors, solder and heat shrink, special heat-shrink that contains solder (genuine TE and knock-off) etc. My personal favorite is soldering manually and then using the solder sleeves, which nobody else seems to do, but I use soldering and generic heat-shrink as well.
Strength, weather resistance and vibration resistance are the most important tests I guess, but size of the splice and ease of use (especially in tight spaces) are also relevant.
Maybe a little bit outside of your usual themes but I think you are the right person to nail this once and for all.
Thanks for the suggestion.
seconded!
I worked professionally with car audio, remote starts, and GPS installs before switching careers (IT now). You won't believe it, but myself and the majority of colleagues over the year just twist and tape wires together, even data wires. You can call it "military splice" for pictures online, but I generally fray the ends in two directions, twist them together, then wrap them around the wires backwards each side. If it's one loose wire connecting to an existing wire, strip away the plastic and poke a hole and kinda do the same thing twisting it each side and taping the wire to the existing one. Tape it tight and if you did it right you can't even pull them apart no matter how hard you pull. I have done my entire Jeep Wrangler build like this starting a decade ago and the amount of heavy off-roading and movement not a single wire has came loose or apart, inside the cab or under the hood.
Most professionals agree on absolutely not anything T-Tap style, that stuff will eventually fail on you. Anything else you mentioned works fine if done correctly though.
It's worth noting that no OEM harness in any modern vehicle has any soldered joints. Ideal solution is to get the appropriate crimp terminals and replace the entire wire, but we all know that's simply not feasible when adding accessories or making inline repairs.
Your idea for a comparison video is a good one.
Stihl 2in1 Chain sharpener is the best sharpening tool EVER!! It's very important to get the correct one for the chain your chainsaw uses. The chain sizes for Stihl are: Picco, 3/8 Picco, ,325 and 3/8.
I have two chainsaws and two tools.
MS230 uses the same chain like your MS250 which is 3/8 Picco and my new chainsaw is MS311 which uses 3/8.
Thanks for sharing.
@@ProjectFarm Thank you for fun video!! Cheers from Croatia!
I agree I have all 3 and love them
The Stihl sharpener has changed my life! Great videos!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Your dedication to the videos are second to none. Absolutely amazing content. I have bought two products based on your videos.
Glad you like them!
I guess you can call me old school as I like to sharpen my chainsaw chain the old fashioned way: by hand with a file. Todd, I have a video suggestion: A showdown between electric wood splitters. I have a little Sun Joe that works very well, mind you it's not as powerful as a gas wood splitter, but it gets the job done. Have a great Sunday my friend and thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the video idea!
Same here. 99% of the time I don’t even have the file in a handle. Lol
The *GOAT* is back with his knowledge based experiment to give us the best without wasting our money and time
Thank you very much!
GR8 posts,
Both 👍💯😎
The GOAT for the win every time
He really is the GOAT!
I have been cutting wood for 55 years or so and I found a dremil tool with a diamond bit works fine and fast for me. I don't need the guide tools at this point but I do use the lines on the chain. It may not be the best but for me it is the most useful with the sharpness and speed needed to do the job. I use a much slower speed on the dremil tool to grind the chain and the bit lasts much much longer. It is nice to see how they test and how sharp they are when done. Great video, thank you for all the work!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Love this guy's videos he does so many deferent tests on every video really helps you decide which piece of equipment to use
Thanks!
Easy win for the stihl sharpener I think, quick and easy to use with no setup and does the job.
Thank you!
With the Timberline you have to use the right size burr (Stihl and Husq are different) and the right angle guides and set it up evenly (I use shims to set it evenly) and I recommend not setting it up with the burr all the way in but rather lower using the taper to get more hook and accommodate the sloping angle of the top-plate. If set up right it will grind better than new chain uniformly every time. Not a chain grinder but the best small kit I've seen.
Thank you for sharing!
I got to hand it to you on this one Todd because sharpening chainsaw blades is as fun as like watching paint dry !!!
By hand kills my back !!!!
I have owned the timberline for years and the one thing that keeps me coming back to it is that it doesn’t heat up the chain. Yes it takes a little longer but the edge is very sharp and I’m happy with that in the end. Feels as good as a new chain. But to each their own. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I am greatful for all the chainsaw related videos it has helped me make great choices.
Thank you very much!
You said "Just trying to have a little fun with this!" I just want you to know I really appreciate that you do, I think you strike a great balance and honestly it's entertaining enough to watch these that I'll often watch them even if I'm extremely unlikely to ever use the product category so long as it seems interesting
Thanks for watching!
At this point I come to this channel before buying any personal tooling. Thanks for great quality of video and information!
You are welcome!
These tests are great, Tom! They really bridge the gap between dense datasheet specifications and real world applications but with communicable quantifications.
Thanks!
Just made my day better. Just got dentures and today is the worst day pain wise. Thank you for always putting out fantastic videos. I am thinking i might just binge them today.
Hope you adjust to everything quickly! Thank you!
It gets better pretty quick. If you were dealing with tooth pain before you got them like I was, you’ll be so thankful in a couple weeks when you’re all healed up. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was getting mine. I had tooth pain for decades but ever since I got them I’ve had no pain, and unlike the image that some people think when they hear someone has dentures, I can eat absolutely anything I want with no issues or pain. I can bite an apple or eat a steak no problem. The only thing I don’t like to deal with is gum or gummy candy cause it gets under the dentures and I have to take em out and clean em or it’ll annoy me feeling the candy stuck in there, but I can eat it if I want to and I still do sometimes. I had a couple weeks of discomfort when I got them and I lost a couple pounds from not being able to eat as much, but most of us can afford to lose a couple pounds anyway lol. When I got mine I wish I had someone to tell me it was gonna be a great decision after a short period of discomfort, so I’m telling you that right now. Good luck and hope they work out for you as well as they have for me

My family has cut all kinds of wood in all kinds of situations for decades, and we all use stihl. Dad's saws are over 30 years old and still work awesome. Good ol pmcs and these have always lasted and just plain work. We always have used plain ol files. Might switch to the fancy stihl sharpener lol. Awesome review as always.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
That Stihl 2-in-1 is really very good, easy and quick. Well worth the money.
Thank you!
This test is relevant to my relevancy. Thanks for testing!
You are welcome!
Another great unbiased video. I have been using the same Stihl sharpener for several year and it has held up very good and I am still happy with it. One thing I really like about the stihl is that it works on the job site. I use it every time i put gas and bar oil in the chain saw. Its easy to use and if you use it frequently its fast and does a great job!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I have the Stihl sharpener and I love it...... simple but effective! (and portable)

Great and useful review, thanks Todd!
Thank you very much!
The fact that you are adjusting your rakers while sharpening the chain makes the Stihl the overall fastest and easiest to use. It is my favorite. Thanks for another great video.

I have the Stihl 2 in 1 and it always worked well. Bought an Oregon grinder since then and I love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Good test Commander but if I had to use a guide instead of freehand it'd be the Stihl, NO doubt because it takes care of the rakers as well as the teeth. Thanks and Blessings.
I have the Oregon 12V Sure Sharp. Don’t know how it compares to the ones you tested but it gets the job done for me. Another great review!! 👍🏻 👍🏻

Ohh boy I have that timberline sharpener and love it . Thank you for the test
Great sharpener!!
Timberline is the best sharpener ever. I will never use anything else!
@tomsmith4484 I have a bar set in my vice and I bang out 10 blades per my 2 saws I'm ready to make chips all day . Hands down best sharpener EVER
Is it really made in USA?
@FJB2020 the true timberline is . But like anything else there is knockoffs
I’ve found that just doing it by hand works the best with a properly sized Oregon file. Buckin Billy Ray has a bunch of very good videos on hand sharpening 👍
Thank you for sharing!
Exactly. Bucking Billy does best sharpening video's. I only use hand files and will never use any of the toys tested here. With proper technique you make chains as sharp as new if not better using just a file. I can also recommend Husqvarna roller style file guide.
Buckin is quite the character isn't he !, hes very passionate about his saws and how to sharpen a chain to perform and square ground/filing which is on a whole other level of proficiency. Me personally, I've watched friends etc struggling with gimmicks because they had no idea what they were supposed to be looking at on the chain tooth and ended up with a saw that performed horribly, took off to the side etc. I like using the simple method, a proper sized file for the particular chain and put my saw in the vice which makes it so much easier and less awkward to do the job. So as Buckin says, "Get The Gullet" !.
I love the 2/1 sharpener. Give it a shot. No reason to resist technology. gets the rakers too. Will make a chain like brand new in minutes
@@factsnotfeelingssendit5961 I assume the tool is not capable of being adjusted to fine tune the raker height, where as doing it by hand one can use a gauge that has a hard or soft wood depth set. Also one would need a different tool for every chain size being used ( different saws ).
the stihl is the only that that is going to offer consistent results through the life of the chain, as the more you file the cutting edge down, the more the rakers will need to be adjusted haha! im really glad you touched on this in the review. i typically go at my chains with a hand file, but ive been doing this for a number of years, and i always adjust the rakers if i notice it not cutting right :) cheers Todd!
Thanks for the feedback.
I have had the Stihl sharpener over a dozen times now. It keeps the chain sharp and lasts long. Great video.

Thank you!
I have been using the Stihl sharpener for a few years now. I like how quick and easy it is to use in the field if needed (no need to hunt up power or fiddle with gizmos). The files have also held up very well and towards the end of a chain's life I really think filing the depth gauge at the same time helps. Glad to see you had good results with it as well.
Thanks for the feedback.

Awesome line up as always! We have been using the stihl file with the 3 files in the handle. Really like it and even out in the field.
Or local hardware store is now offering chain sharpening service. I did not get a price.
I am several weeks behind and came to your channel today to look for a test of 10 x 4.5 water filters. There are so many. I installed a whole house filter for our well water.
Keep up the great work ! Cheers from Wisconsin!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
Just an FYI the PFERD brand sharpener is the original unit that the stihl sharpeners are based off of. They are cheaper and are IDENTICAL minus the handle color. You can get a box of files to replace the ones in the unit. I usually get 5-8 sharpening out of a 20" bar.. If they don't seem to bite when you file, change the file. They are about a dollar a pop. Out of all the sharpeners, the 2 in one sharpeners really do work the best if you are doing touch up or small repairs, if they are really torn up, you'll want an electric sharpener. Certified sawyer, with a decade of experience. Also, recommend putting the saw in a vise to sharpen. Just keep 2-3 sharp chains in a small bag with your tools, sharpen when you get home.
Thank you for sharing!
Only works on NON skip tooth chains.
@@w8stral Why wouldn't it work on a skip tooth? (or is that a joke?)
@@OneWildTurkey The tools flats run on the chain tooth top flats. Thus SPACING of standard 3/8 chain is required.

I love that Stihl sharpener. Made a night and day difference with my cheap Harbor Freight saw. Very simple to use too.
Thanks for the feedback.
I bought the Stihl sharpener, two sizes, about three years ago. Best I have EVER used. It's a little "clunky" to replace the files but I have only had to replace two files in the three years I have owned them. It is amazing how many companies still don't understand that the raker has to be reduced as you sharpen the blades. The Stihl is the only sharpener I have found that addresses that.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy Sunday
