Sharp, well-conditioned gardening tools can save you an enormous amount of time, effort and hassle. For years my husband had a large electric grinding machine in our garden shed. He would put on eye-protective glasses and then carefully sharpen the edges of my spades and garden knives, as the sparks flew everywhere! How much easier is Corona’s AC 8300 Sharpening Tool! When I discovered this nifty, light-weight sharpening machine a few years ago, I thought I had died and gone to heaven (a possible reality when using dull-edged tools on a tough project!) Technology can be a beautiful thing! The tool features a 5-inch super carbide file that is perfect for sharpening all straight blades (excluding saw blades). Also it has a great non-slip grip for to make sharpening even easier. Corona’s AC 8300 Sharpening Tool retails for around $10. It can be purchased at many garden centers, from Corona and on Amazon.
