ARS, AC-SS240, Sharpening Stone for Pruning Tools

Prompt delivery. Stone works as described. A.go to stone for sharpening edge on yard & garden tools.

Very nice size for a beginner and someone just starting to pay attention to the fact this CAN be done! This worked very well on my gardening tools & I am very happy with both the ease of use and efficiency. Unfortunately, I dropped it and it broke into two pieces. Very easily. I guess that is to be expected. It is still usable just not ideal.Overall, I would buy it again..

This was my first time doing anything of this sort, sharpening my pruning tools. I used to just go ahead and buy another tool. Well, I have quite a collection of old and dull tools. Silly me. Ignorance is not bliss. It's expensive. Anyway, this whet stone turned out to be the perfect size for me to use. It stayed wet for a reasonable amount of time during the sharpening process. Since it did not come with a resting plate to keep it from slipping around I used an extra coarse wash cloth. For the curved blades, I picked up and maneuvered the stone instead of the blades. It's small size makes it easy to do this. That's probably cheating, but I didn't want to disassemble the tools since I am not sure if I could put them back together correctly. Seriously. I had so much fun sharpening I continued on with the three household scissors after finishing with all my pruners. Really a good buy for my maiden voyage into responsible tool ownership.

Too small. Need a big one if u have to sharp everyday. Stone is too thin.

Less than hard stone

Smaller than I anticipated

It doesn't look like much but it works! After discovering how to hold it and rub against scissor blades, I was a sharpening machine. Seven pair of good scissors are now perfect.

This stone sharpens so effectively I used it on a multitude of cutting edges including a reel mower -- it worked great due to small size. It does wear out fairly quickly so I'll be looking for another stone next season.
