I use a hatchet to make an edge in the sod around my house. Will this tool sharpen a hatchet?

I've not used it for a hatchet but lots of other garden tools. It worked great for everything I've tried so far. I watched some videos on u tube of people using it before I purchased it.

Yes. And it's got a nice handle. But so will a regular file -- and it's a bigger sharpener.

This tool works better for putting a fine edge on smaller tools like pruners. For Lawn more blades, hatchet and ax heads that take more of a beating, I use the Nicholson Rectangular Mill Hand File Without Handle, Single Cut, American Pattern, Bastard Cut, 10" Length. This tool is more aggressive in removing metal to resharpen your tool. Remember for heavy duty use, you don't necessarily want a fine edge that make become thin and require more maintenance especially when your biting into dirt which is abrasive.

a hatchet is a terrible tool for sod. Hatchets and axes are for chopping wood. you should try an edger

Hey Jorge, if you are looking for a small sharpener to carry in your pocket to sharpen anything on the fly with then this is it, I've sharpened Axe"s, Hatchets, Knives and also fishing blades with this little gem... to answer your question YES.. it will sharpen just about anything, I would recommend putting the Machetes between your knee's with the handle hitting your stomach, then sharpen with a forward motion away from you, use course side first then the fine ceramic side.. also look at Smith's 50447 4-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone, it run's about $10.00, by using these two products together you will be able to just about sharpen anything to hold a good blade. Well I hope I was of some help with this product... :-)

It would depend on your definition of " wood bits ". If you are referring to paddle bits or forstner bits then I don't think it will do the job.But it will sharpen the standard 118 degree drill bits sized from 3/32" to 1/2", and does a good job!

The question you should ask is will it sharpen it correctly and with the desired result. Yes on both accounts. Like most tools, the more you use the quicker it is.

No! This is a very jagged toothed knife. Originally for dry wall cutting I believe and I use for garden roots when digging for planting.

Not for a long while if you use it as it is intended. The sharpener itself is for quick touch ups in the field. If you're at home then you should use an actual sharpening stone.

The slots would probably be too narrow for axes , but machetes should work fine. I have found that although it scratched my knife blades the Furi Rachael Ray Ozitech Diamond Fingers Pro Knife Sharpener works great on axes. It should be fine for machetes too.

No, unfortunetly. It will work on anything with a straight blade (hand pruners, pruning shears, old fashioned hand hedge trimmers, and even a knife) but it is not intended to sharpen anything with a serrated edge (example-any sort of saw with teeth)

No, it is good to keep your kitchen knives sharp but to small for machetes and axes. I wanted it for skinning knives because I don't like to take the time to sharpen a knife with a wet stone. It won't get a spinner sharp enough. I did see on sharpener advertised for what you want on Amazon however.

Hello, I really have not used it for wood working tools and other tools I think it will to some extent for small tools, but what I know for sure is its a dream come true for knives.There is two other models for woodworking and metalworking that are made specifically for these jobs, you might want to check the website http://www.worksharptools.com/ I hope this helped answer your question

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

Yes, it comes sharpened and it is a very nice hatchet. We love Estwing products.

You cannot sharpen the blades - this is why this is a $40 tool and not a $240 tool.However I've had mine for something like 4 or 5 years now, I use it regularly, and it is still super scary sharp. So ... you probably won't ever need to sharpen it in normal household use.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

Yes it should. Please read the directions carefully. It will sharpen it nicely, but it will not be as sharp as a new blade.

It will probably do that, however I doubt if it is made for that kind of work. You will probably wear out the knife pretty quick.
