Garden tool sharpening

Cyril from Sharpen Up

As tree pruning gets underway I am getting worn out loppers brought in for sharpening and to be honest many are not worth repairing, they are worn out. Many of the owners of these tools are women and I advise them to consider small fold away saws from Silky (a Japanese Company) from $55 a small … View moreAs tree pruning gets underway I am getting worn out loppers brought in for sharpening and to be honest many are not worth repairing, they are worn out. Many of the owners of these tools are women and I advise them to consider small fold away saws from Silky (a Japanese Company) from $55 a small purpose built saw can make there lives much easier, safer and less likely to damage other limbs of the tree being pruned. I'm happy to say the comments are always positive with "I wished I'd known that earlier".
As an authorised stockist of Silky I am happy to show how easy it is to prune tress safely and most importantly, in a way that reduces strains and sprains.

Russel Watts, 50, from Taupo, said he postponed his review earlier this week after he found out he'd be facing off against a senior corporate attorney from Wellington.
