Silverline581903 Loggers Filing Vice 16 mm

The screw has a flat tip and it would probably result in a more comfy operation of it was more of a conal shape. Other than that no gripes. It does what it should.

Best to insert cardboard or something to protect the saw when clamping to it.

Does the job, but I found unless you put a piece of folded up card up against the screw, it will cut into the guide bar.Maybe just a cosmetic thing, but they should design them with a little plastic thing for the bolt.Other than that it works well.

Does what you want it to.I've put a bit of rubber either side of where it clamps to limit damage to the bar.

It makes sharpening a chainsaw blade a very easy operation, prior to buying this item it was an absolute chore !

Made very well but the two forks pull out of the timber which can be annoying if you’re middle of the pressure pass with the file. The other more expensive brands have barbs to stop this. Oh well, I’ll persevere as it’s not exactly expensive. A slither of card is needed also when you screw the clamp onto your bar otherwise it’ll mark the bar unnecessarily

assuming you are not just a suburban gardener with a work bench handy , but out in the woods this is-I would suggest- pretty much an essential piece of kit as frequent re-sharpening is mandatory.....
