Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer - Garden Tool SharpenerA sharp blade is the quiet secret behind good pruning. A keen edge slices cleanly through a stem, leaving a neat wound that heals fast and resists disease; a blunt one crushes and tears, leaving ragged cuts that let in rot and make every job harder than it needs to be. Yet sharpening is the one bit of tool care most of us put off usually because we don't have the right thing to hand. This little tool solves that. The Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer

A sharp blade is the quiet secret behind good pruning. A keen edge slices cleanly through a stem, leaving a neat wound that heals fast and resists disease; a blunt one crushes and tears, leaving ragged cuts that let in rot and make every job harder than it needs to be. Yet sharpening is the one bit of tool care most of us put off — usually because we don't have the right thing to hand. This little tool solves that.

The Burgon & Ball Blade Edge Restorer is a pocket-sized sharpener built to bring a keen working edge back to the cutting tools you use most — secateurs, loppers, hedge shears, topiary shears, and the like. At just 12.5cm long it slips into a pocket or tool pouch, so you can put a quick edge back on your secateurs out in the border or down at the allotment rather than waiting for a workshop session that never quite happens.

At its tip sits a 2cm tungsten carbide file — carbide being far harder than steel, so it cuts a fresh edge quickly and lasts for years. The sharpening tip is housed in a durable casing with a soft, non-slip grip that stays secure even when your hands are gloved or damp, and a protective cap keeps the file clean and stops it nicking your pocket or tool bag between jobs. It's genuinely simple to use — a few strokes along the bevel of the blade is all it takes — and clear instructions are printed on the packaging, so even if you've never sharpened a tool in your life, you can do it with confidence.

Keeping an edge on your tools isn't just about making the work easier, though it does that. It's a small act of looking after the things that look after your garden — and a sharp, well-maintained pair of secateurs will last years longer, and cut far more kindly, than a neglected one.

What it sharpens

  • Secateurs — the tool that benefits most from a regular touch-up
  • Loppers — for clean cuts on thicker stems and branches
  • Hedge shears and topiary shears — keeping long blade edges crisp
  • Other straight or curved garden blades that have lost their edge

Please note: this tool is designed for the blade edges of cutting tools and is not suitable for sharpening saw blades.

How to use it

Wipe the blade clean first so you can see the bevel — the angled cutting edge. Holding the tool securely by its non-slip grip, draw the carbide file along that bevel in smooth, even strokes, always working in the same direction and following the existing angle of the edge. A few passes is usually all a regularly maintained blade needs. Most garden blades (secateurs, loppers, shears) are bevelled on one side only, so sharpen the bevelled face and simply remove any burr from the flat back. Finish by wiping the blade and, ideally, adding a light smear of oil to protect it. Sharpen little and often through the season and your tools will never get the chance to go properly blunt.

Perfect fit and works great
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Perfect fit and works great. It is great that it comes as a 2pk. I replaced both with no need to change wiring, and kept the working one I had, as backup.

It works as it should...
Size: 96158T-2PCS
Used it in a pinch for stater relay... it works great. Be aware... Mine required metric sockets for the nuts... 10mm for large terminals - 3/8 was too tight and same for smaller terminals 7mm fit better than 5/16 that was too loose. The mounting holes are also spaced closer together than the OEM on a mercruiser 260 in a mid 1980's boat but easy to remedy with a 1/4" drill bit.

Fixed 4.3 Merc IO

Engine wouldn't start reliably or consistently. I had no clicking either from the old solenoid even though it would start from time to time...motor starts perfect after install. Pretty easy install as long as you reconnect the right wires. This worked perfect!
