This is the best hedge trimmer video that I've seen and its very refreshing to see that it was managed without any power tools! It's a pity that it only appeared on my 'recommended view' list the day after I had sharpened mine. The only difference that I did was to mount the blades horizontally in a wide wooden Moxon vice and to smooth off the corners at the bottom / inside of the cutting teeth with a round file. Excellent. Thank you.

Thank you Peter, i appreciate that 🙂👍👍

Great video, thank you. Now to work up the courage to take mine apart and do things the right way lol

Hi, love your videos!. I've been a groundsman since leaving school (I'm now 41). When i sharpen my hedge trimmers i also do it by hand with a file, but i use a large chainsaw file to sharpen the inner curved part of the blade. I also like to sand the whole blade gently back to metal, removing all the sap and crud because i find the grease stays on longer and you may gain a micrometre or two in getting the blades closer together. Nice to see you have so much love for the jobs you do. All the best from Wales UK.

Mud \_ Venator thanks mud, never thought to use a chainsaw file, will be trying it 👍, thanks for the advice, always good to hear how others do it, it's very satisfying to bring the blades back to life, and a pleasure to use. 👍👍👍

Very good, informative and very useful! Thank you

Great video Jason 👌🏼🍃

Thank you. Most informative 👍

this is the BEST video I've seen, a FILE to sharpen your blades,my way is with a file also, the right file is a must, not some 12" BASTARD or a GRINDER that it looks like they are celebrating 4th of july with their first ground fountain, VERY GOOD VIDEO

good and practical.Congratulations on this skill

I do keep threatening to strip mine but haven’t as yet. Even if to give it a good clean. Much easier the way you’ve done it. Cheers mate. 👍👍

I do it with grinder for years and had great results with it.. No time for this file bs.. But a great result anyway.. Cheers.

grinders heat the steel impairing ability to hold edge

Jason: Could I manually use a high-grit/rough sandpaper instead of a file?

Coming from the cycling world I am wondering about replacing the bar grease with hot paraffin wax, as wax keeps cleaner while in use in harsh environments?

Nice job, I guess some viewers don't realize they have a mute button on their computer if they don't like the music. Who needs the sound on with printed words. I have grinders and files and also prefer using files for jobs like this.

I find that some machines have to much gap between the blades and soft stuff like conifer gets between and does not cut cleanly. I remedy this by stoning of a few thou from the spacers using a micrometer to get them all the same, then fit up and test if needed take of a thou or two more this makes all the difference in the world, then keep well oiled while in use.

What type of grease should be used?

I didn’t see where the spacers go. Took mine apart and they fell from somewhere. Still haven’t gotten the dang thing back together.

Kudos for using a file, however I would have cleaned off the sap & muck first, The contamination will clog the file, therefore making it not as effective.. I was also quite surprised you didn't take the time to go ahead and service the gearbox.

What brand head do you use that has that really short shaft? That’s not a Stihl brand is it?

Treat yourself to a magnetic tray for the nuts and bolts . So much easier !!!

What kind of file should I use?

The grease will keep it going for a little bit, but if bearings are out or broken, the vibration will increase, it's only a matter of time I'm afraid,
