Your video is extremely helpful. I own three hedge trimmers and they all could use a sharpening. You've given me the confidence to get to it. Thanks very much.
Glad I could help!
@@dogman4100 same here!
After watching you for about a month you have inspire me to get back into the lawn maintenance business I left many’s years ago. Look out High Ridge Handyman & Lawn maintenance coming soon👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is awesome!
My father pass away and left me the lawn service company. Thank you man you are helping me alot 🙏 keep up the good work . I'm watching all your videos
Sorry to hear that, glad that I could help
I’ve been watching your videos religiously for the past week and MAN you are teaching,inspiring and saving me money!!!! I was literally about to take my hedge trimmer to a shop to be sharpened, welp not anymore I just ordered everything you just used! Once again thanks bro💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Buy two files one really fine one coarse the fine one for the hedge trimmer blades, the coarse one for mower blades and all the silly blades that fit the weed eater.
Thanks dude! I'm adding hedge trimming to my services for my lawn business this season, and now I know how to keep my equipment functioning well!
Glad to help
I hear a lot of guys use Fluid Film to lubricate and protect the blades once the blades are sharpened. It also prevents against rust and keeps the blades moving like butter, curious to know your thoughts regarding that? Enjoyed the video.
Took my older trimmer in to be sharpened took a month for them to tell me they would have to take the whole thing apart in order to sharpen the blades because they would have to be cleaned with a Dremel and should me how and why it would be difficult with the electric... ( True Value) hedger It would be about 45-60 dollars and I should invest in a new one. I said "I like this one because it actually locks on making it easier for me to move around and easier on my hands". I also said well have a Dremel so I guess I'll do it myself. YOUR VIDEO WAS REALLY HELPFUL! I LIKE THE SOFT MUSIC IN THE BACK AND GET RIGHT INTO IT STYLE. I followed you for more helpful ideas THANK YOU ! I purchased a small cordless rotary tool one like you suggested though because, well it just made sense keep up the good work!@
Thanks for the tips. Just bought a stihl hedge trimmer and want to keep it in top shape for a long time. I couldn't find the stihl cleaner, but was able to find Fluid Film for $10. Cheaper than Stihl cleaner and also intended for use on hedge trimmers.
Fantastic!
Thanks, I’ll save money and do it myself from now on. You the man Johnny for sharing your videos with us.
Great video. You just saved me $60.00! That's what the local sharpening guy in our area wants to fix my trimmer. Thanks man!
Glad I could help
I have a Craftsman trimmer for over 40 years. Only use it a couple times a year. I oil the blades regularly as I trim. Not once have I ever shaped or cleaned them. They work great.
You need to check the cuts on the shrubs. If the canes are tearing and browning a week after the cut then your blade is dull and needs sharpening. Oiling has nothing to do with sharpening, it keeps the blades moving with less friction.
Excellent tutorial vid, man! Glad you showed a product that can be used to keep it clean as I've been wondering about the maintenance for a hedge trimmer.
Glad it helps 👍
Nice! 👍
Getting to be that time. 🏡
86° today and the Viburnums are already putting out new growth. I'm geared up and ready to go. 💪
It's going to be a little chilly next week but it should be the last cool down hopefully
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare Typical Georgia roller coaster weather.
Appreciate this video....I was going to drop off 4 units to be sharpen....I will try it myself now
Awesome 👍
Thanks. Also, what workbench product are you using. I love that you can attach a vice to it.
Keith had a video mentioning some electric battery powered method for being able to sharpen your trimmers in the field. I found yours first and I am so greatful for you sharing this. Thanks so much also I didn’t know you were in Georgia for some reason I thought Florida like Jonathan. Anyway this was a super fun video to watch and a change of pace.
Love the video and i did this on my handheld hedge trimmers and now they are like new and vey sharp
Thanks for that I’ve been using my large grinder for my large blades an machetes I need that tool because I have a lot of palm trees at my home plus hedges. Thanks again
I take them off machine and use Simple Green to clean them first. Then I use a small air driven belt sander to sharpen, reasemble and lubricate. That way I get the resins out that builds up in between the blades.
Thanks for sharing!
Great,simple and easy hands on and explanation! Thank you for your time in helping the ones with less experience. Gracias, Amigo! Bendiciones
You're very welcome!
Great video I’ve been sending mine out to get sharpened. This seems like a real money saver. I do wish you gave us better close up view. It was a very informative video. Once again thank you
Thank you Johnny, I am going to try this & save money!!!!...Please keep the tutorial videos coming...
Great, will do 👌
I found out your videos super helpful! and I like the background music! Super professional! Thanks and keep it the good work brother!
Awesome, thank you!
Does it matter which grinding stone you use on the blades? I used the 952 3/8" grinding stone and it got gunked up very quickly from all the resin and grime on my old blades.
I love the video, I just learned how to sharpen my trimmers from a pro. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. Ive been wondering how to do this as mine seem to be a bit dull. Thanks for showing.
😀👍
I'm going to order one of those sharpening tools on the internet it look very reliable. I trimmed trees every day. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video instructions! I already have a portable Dremel and I'm ready to go! What a cost-saver!
Glad I could help!
Female homeowner looking forward to maintaining my sticking hedge trimmer with my nail filing drill.😊
😂😂😂
This was great, thank you so much. Thorough and concise, very well done. I'm off to go sharpening
Glad it was helpful!
Good advice here. I use my Dremel with those stones for sharpening my chainsaw blades (there is a thinner stone also) and hedge trimmers. Thanks for posting. Great audio also by the way.
Thank you very much!
Great video, We use Fluid Film to lubricate and clean the blades.
Great tip, 👍
This video was very helpful. It explained and showed me how to do this and it was very easy to follow.
Thanks...
I was looking for something related to sharpening hedge trimmer blades. Hi, I'm Neill and I'm "noth" of you in upstate South Carolina. Worked for awhile in Savannah back in my working days (I'm retired and LOVE IT). I couldn't believe you have the exact Dremel Lite that I bought from HD a few weeks ago. I bought a Dremel Chain Saw Sharpening Attachment Kit from Amazon. It shows how to use one of the attachments for sharpening a Chain Saw in the Owners Manual, but nothing on how to use the kit for sharpening Hedge Trimmer Blades. I called Dremel and they said to look it up on the Internet. BLAH! Can you help? I used your method, but not sure I'm doing it at the right "angle". Hence, why I bought the Kit. I have RYOBI battery operated hedge trimmers.😎
That collar below the locking nut is a wrench, loosen that collar and you can tighten the locking nut a little extra. I have that exact Dremel.
Good video man... I’m so used to using the Milwaukee grinder... super fast and easy too
It is but it's a little too bulky for me, thanks!

That's how I do mine although I only sharpen them once a year. I have 2 hedge trimmer that I use a few hours a week. I don't notice much of a difference after sharpening.
🤔👍
I normally have a couple of days throughout the year where I get a few beers and sharpen and clean everything, quality tools dull very slowly no matter what abuse you put them through. I use nothing but Husqvarna and Stihl! A clean every now and then is all that is necessary! Winter gives you ample time to strip them down for deep maintenance and make them ready for the year to come!
Thanks for sharing!
LOVE THE HEDGE TRIMMER SHARPING VIDEO AND IVE LERANED ALOT WHATING YOUR VIDEOS TO HELP ME IN MY LAWNCARE BUSINESS, THANKS AND KEEP THE VIDEO COMING ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,SIR
Thanks 👍
Just buy those attachments for your drill! Tbh the dremel is more comfortable for me. Thanks Johhny!
Glad it helps!
How about using a brush with brass / stainless bristles to clean the blades .
Thanks for the tips on sharpening the trimmer. Excellent video. Just curious, were you stationed at all at fort Stewart? My son was stationed there.
Yes, I was stationed there temporarily 👍
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare my son was there between 2005 and 2012. And was also in Germany for a while
The best video regard to sharpening hedge trimmer.
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for the tip!!! Your one of the better RUclipsrs… that I follow.
Wow, thanks!
Your welcome. I’m getting too old for this business. Summers are short…. but the days are long. And the winters are long… but the work (snow removal) is hit and miss at best.
What is the Dremel part # for the grinding stone idea link would be helpful. Thanks.
So you only do the backside of the top blade? Im about to sharpen tomorrow but i dont know whether to do just the top or just the top backside etc, thanks in advance!
I do both sides but only did this side for video time
I ain’t got a dremel. Does that long metal Rod work that my mom uses on her knifes?
Love the dermal approach. It works thanks
Good video. But why do you wipe the oil off after spraying it on? (Not that I disagree, just I would like to know why as I am a novice). Is it to get any metal particles off? Or some other reasons.
Can you use a drill and attach the bit instead of buying the device?
Do you sharpen both sides of the blade, top and bottom? I noticed my trimmer has slanted edges on both sides.
what kind of vise is that attached to the table?
Where did you buy your gloves. They look nice
Look in this video description
Thanks for this video. I'm a big DIYer on a budget so this really helps me!
how do you get the blades to be together? Remove them and put them back together?
Like the video. It was very helpful because I need to sharpen my blades!
Glad it was helpful!
I did that last year on mine! Works real good 😉
😀👍
Just ordered mine from HD. Thanks so much!!!!
How long does the sharpening stone last on the dremmel?
I thought about using my Dremel for this, thanks for confirming.
😃👍
Great job. I swear people will dislike anything. Sometimes I wonder if RUclips is actually disliking videos.
Thanks!
and monthly lubrication is a must!
I definitely agree
Thank you for this video you saved me 75$ Dallas tx is getting expensive now
is there an angle for the grind bit when it contacts blade??
Dremel should give you some freebies cause I purchased one based on your video. I love it ! Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Can a hedge trimmer be used as an edger on the grass?
No
You can use a rotor zip and the attachment
l only trim my hedge about 70 meters once a year (spring mostly) and l sharp my blades about once in two years, l dont own a mowing service like you but this was helpful
the reason to sharpen the blades every 12 hours of usage or daily is so the grass wont die in the long run
dull blades pretty much rip apart your grass. it has to be a clean cut and it mulches more successfully resulting in better decomposition for the grass. including with leaves
Nice work. 45 degree angle?
I appreciate it
Great Video! I have that same work bench. What Vice is that? How did you mount it?
Great I got it from Harbor Fright
Where could i buy one of those that you are using ??? To sharpen blades
The link to the Dremel is in the video description
@@Bladesofgrasslawncare thank you!!!!
Could you use an angle grinder and just be super careful not to take too much off?
Digging the tutorial videos my brotha
Can you do some videos on how you run the administrative side of your buisness?
👌
Can you use wd40 instead of the Sthil hedge cleaner and lubricant?
I read that it is NOT a good idea because it's a penetrating oil.
I agree!
@@MyzDhaGray I water pressure first ..blades and body before sharpen and has worked for me
What grit bits are u using
Thanks mate Learned a great few tips
Glad to hear it!
Really good video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.
My pleasure!
Phenomenal instructional video. Explained very well
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thanks for the lesson but ditch the music
Noted
Thanks for the tutorial! Gonna sharpen mine today!
Awesome!
How do I align the teeth ?
Is it possible to ruin the blades?
What’s the name of the attachment, grade ?
I have already a couple of drimmels so I’m wondering if I can use them?
Have loads of attachments as well so I can choose the correct one.
Sorry for so many questions.
Thank you so much.🥀
How do you adjust the blade for the teeth are wide enough apart
Press the throttle until you possision the blades were you need them
What is this tool called
Thank you 😊
I use a small diamond bastard file works so much nicer than a rotary stone.
One, two three, four passes on each blade, done , shiny and uniform.
Thank you, you really made my life easy with this method. I was doing it by hand and to scared to use a grinder
👍😎
You're welcome!
Hey Johnny !! Love the videos , which model of stihl weed eaters would you recommend for everyday use? Thanks in advance for your reply
That's a hard question to answer. It depends on what type of turf your servicing , how often, and your budget?
Thanks brother on my to do list👍
Glad it helps 👍
Thank you from Cali 👋
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the help!!
Happy to help!
Very informative easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Is this the same process you use for sharpening a ostrich egg? 🥚
One thing I would like to add is please zoom in for a few times on the blades while showing us. It was a bit hard to see. But fantastic content.
Just did it, works like a hot damn! Thanks
Great video! Just what I needed…
Awesome!
Thank you
You're welcome
Awesome camera work
Glad you think so!
Thanks for the video my man
No problem 👍
Thanks! This REALLY helped me.
What portable work table is that? It accepts a vise as an attachment? Or u rigged that up on ur own? TIA!
