Fun tool with an awkward name! I'm not sure why this tool has that name, but it's a lot of fun

5/5

To take care of my pruning tools, I bought this and a small whet stone. This is my first foray into the world of tool maintenance. The 6" size is ideal for both small and large curved pruning blades. There are even explanations on the back of the jacket for people like me who have no idea what the different shapes and file patterns are and how they are used. It's so satisfying to see the tools almost brand new and shiny even before sharpening them on the whet stone!.
