If you’ve ever wondered which chainsaw sharpener truly delivers the sharpest edge, you’re not alone. In a recent YouTube comparison, several popular sharpeners—including the Granberg Bar Mount with file and the Granberg 12V bar mount—were put to the test against other leading brands like Stihl and Oregon.
The test was thorough: ten identical chains were dulled and then sharpened using each tool. The sharpened chains were then tested for sharpness and cutting speed using a Makita Lithium Chainsaw. The goal? To see if any sharpener could make a used chain even sharper than a brand-new one.
The Granberg sharpeners stood out for their practical design and ease of use. The Bar Mount with file offers precision and consistency, making it a favorite for those who prefer a hands-on approach. The 12V bar mount adds convenience for users who want a bit more speed without sacrificing accuracy.
While the video covers a range of sharpeners, the Granberg models are highlighted for their reliability and ability to restore chains to near-new—or even better—condition. Whether you’re a professional or a weekend woodcutter, Granberg’s sharpeners are worth considering for your toolkit.
