      I like it and now that I have it up and running it’s doing what I want it to do. 3/5 because of a couple of things:
      1) The 12V battery clips, for my purposes, are cumbersome. I get the idea that if you are off in the woods with your truck/ATV and can clip into the battery, that’s cool but if you’re in your garage/shed what do you do? You need a 12V power supply that will supply 4 amps. Not easy to find nor particularly cheap and then you have to modify the connections or splice the wires. My solution was an old computer power supply. You have to splice the purple wire in the main harness to a black ground to trick the supply into thinking it’s on then tap into a yellow wire (12 Volts, usually enough amperage – mine had 8 amps) and a ground and then figure out a way to get the battery. clips the juice. You could cut them off and splice the but then you wouldn’t have the option of using them in the field. My solution was to clip some ring terminals on the yellow/black lines from the computer power supply and attach them to two bolts threaded through a 2×4 and then clip the battery clips on the sharpener to the bolts impersonating battery terminals.

      2) The in-line switch on the cord is total Chinese crap. How it can take 4 amps running through it is unknown. It intermittently won’t make a connection and I had to rotate the little plastic wheel several times. Now I leave it on and use the computer power supply switch to turn it on /off.

      3) Extra grinding bits are not too expensive (around $10) but then Granberg charges another $10 to ship you 2oz of stuff! They could literally stuff them in an envelope for the price of one or two stamps. Seems egregious after I just bought a ton of other stuff but forgot to get some 3/16 grinding bits for one of my saws 🙁

      I does seem to give a good, fast sharpening so, with the above caveats I do recommend it. Don’t know durability yet and don’t know if direct drive is better/worse than belt driven YMMV. I also don’t know why I spent $6 on the “dual” saw and hedge trimmer version – I don’t own hedge trimmers! Guess I should have ordered the F-212 (why does a 212 come with LESS than a 210?????)
