00:00If your chainsaw is chewing through wood like it's angry at you, tossing out fine dust instead
00:04of nice chunky chips, your chain is dull and no amount of pushing harder is going to fix that.
00:09The good news? You don't need a fancy bench grinder or a trip to the shop.
00:15I went digging and found five of the best value chainsaw sharpening files out there right now,
00:19and honestly, some of these cost less than a cup of coffee. Let's get into it.
00:25First up, the eight-piece ceramic burr grinding stone set, and this one's the budget king at
00:30just $3.51. You get sizes in 4, 4.8, and 5.5 millimeters, so it covers pretty much every
00:38common chain pitch you're likely to run. These are ceramic grinding stones meant for a rotary tool
00:43or drill, so if you've got a Dremel sitting in a drawer, you can sharpen a whole chain in a
00:48couple
00:48of minutes instead of filing tooth by tooth. Nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.8 rating tells you
00:54people keep coming back. For three bucks, there's basically zero risk here.
01:00Next, if you want the full setup, this is the one in the professional chainsaw sharpening kit,
01:05available in 10, 11, or 12-piece configurations for $16.51. The standout here is that it's a
01:12complete system, round files, a flat file for the depth gauges, a file guide bar, a depth gauge tool,
01:18and real hardwood handles that don't tear up your palms. That guide bar is the big deal,
01:23because it holds your file at the correct angle and depth automatically, which is the number one
01:27thing beginners get wrong. If you actually want factory sharp teeth instead of close enough,
01:32this kit is worth every penny. Third, the 10-piece grinding stone set at $5.30,
01:39and this one's got a perfect 5-star rating, which you almost never see.
01:43What sets it apart from the first option is the extra 6-millimeter size, so alongside 4,
01:484.8, and 5.5, you're covered for the bigger chains on larger saws. They also double as general-purpose
01:55polishing and metal grinding bits, so they earn their keep beyond just chainsaw work.
02:0010-pieces means you're not babying a single stone when one wears down, grab the next.
02:05Great value for a spare parts drawer.
02:09Fourth up, the 3-piece high-carbon steel round file set at $9.88.
02:14This is the traditional hand file route, and the key word here is high-carbon steel,
02:18these bite into hardened chain teeth and hold their edge instead of going slick after two passes like
02:23cheap files do. You get all three main sizes, 4, 4.8, and 5.5 millimeters, so one purchase handles
02:30multiple saws. With a 4.9 rating and 3500 sold, this is the set to grab if you like the
02:37control of
02:37doing it by hand out in the field with no power needed. And rounding things out, the 3-piece round
02:43file lot at $5.33. Same three essential sizes, same 4.9 rating, but at basically half the price of
02:51the
02:51previous set. The best feature here is honestly just simplicity, throw one in your truck, one in
02:57your toolbox, one in your pack, and you're never stuck with a dull saw miles from home. They're light,
03:02they're tiny, and they take seconds to touch up a tooth between cuts. If you're a casual weekend
03:08firewood guy, this is probably all you actually need. All the links are down in the description,
03:14and prices on these do move around, so it's worth checking. If this helped you out, drop a like and
03:19hit subscribe, I test in roundup tool deals like this every week. Thanks for watching, and go make
03:25that saw cut straight again.
03:26Let that saw cut straight again.
