Oregon Chainsaw Chain Sharpening Kit with Hard Case - Contains Files, Handles, Depth Gauge, Stump Vise, Felling Wedge, and More Accessories

If you use more than one type of chain (and therefore will need multiple different size files for sharpening) this kit is a no-brainer must buy. Even though I need to supplement it with additional size files things like the depth/measuring gauge are extremely useful. Before I had to rely on micrometers to identify which size round file was which but this gauge is so simple you just find the right hole and the corresponding file size mark. Sure I tried labeling files with colored paint sharpies all sorts of ways but that comes off after awhile and even the files that have the size printed on them the font size is just too small for my old eyes :)The bar clamp for dressing chains in the field is also extremely useful.I highly recommend this kit—especially for anyone who just bought a new saw or is just starting to learn woodcutting. Sharpening chains can seem complicated and difficult but frankly once you learn how it’s not complicated and not very time consuming. Plus the time it will save you—and the added safety of having a sharp saw—will save you time and make the saw cut faster and easier. On my non-carbon chains I sharpen them every time I refill the fuel tank. Like I said once you get the hang of it, it’s really quite easy. And if you’re good with your hands you don’t need anything more than a round file and a flat file. I don’t need the guide bracket etc—although those are great—it just takes me longer to switch files in the guide bracket than it does to sharpen half a dozen teeth on the saw :)Anyway… unless you already have a set of files a depth gauge and a bar clamp for the field don’t think about it just buy it.

Good purchase

This is a decent kit for the money

The kit is very handy and functional for chainsaw work.

Works just fine.

So far I’ve only used it once. Looks like it will be a good asset for the future. I’d recommend it.

Good basic kit for sharpening chainsaws. I like the blow mold case. Easier to track (missing, misplaced) tools. Normally everything gets dumped in a small tool box (and I hope I do not loose tools at the site). For the $, it is a decent value.

Finally figured out how to sharpen my chainsaw blades. This is an excellent kit for manually sharpening your blades, even on a stump in the field. Good tools, good instructions.
