can it sharpen left hand drill bits?

No, this model 350X is not capable of sharpening left-handed (reverse) drill bits. However, it is my understanding that both the 500X and 750X models do have an accessory chuck, purchased separately, that will sharpen left-handed (reverse) drill bits. Hope this helps...

Why not, as long as it's a metal tool. but if the hand tool is sharp it might unsharpen it.

yes, but without a base of the sharpmaker system it may be hard depending on blade size. if you are purchasing this for just hand sharpening by itself I would look at there double sided stones or pocket stones by spyderco instead

I spoke with our technician and the electric chainsaw sharpener can turn 10 degrees to the right or left. I do not have any information on the length of time it would take to sharpen the blade but the technician did say that the sharpening stone is up against the steel blade. Let us know if you have any other questions.

No you have to sharpen one side each in a right and left slot. then hone it in a separate slot. It is really superior to whst I used to have on my electric can opener.

Yes - it has a specific part of the sharpener that pulls out to sharpen both left and right hand scissors - works very well. Garden tools as long as the balde will fit the dimensions of the motorized guards or the manual sharpeners - i use it for trimmers as well as kithcen knives. Hope this helps.

If you use hex headed pieces in the drill chuck I think you could. The only negative I can say about this drill is the chuck don't hold a drill bit very tight. The Black and decker NiCad battery life is far superior to a DeWalt or Porter Cable. The battery can set all winter and still have a nearly full charge.

Yes. Like everyone else said, just sharpen it. I took a bench grinder to mine and it is awesome!

It can - but your drill bits have to have a special end that locks into the chuck. The end will look like the end of a nut driver.

No. You cant use drill bits. Just the drivers that come with it or similar drivers.

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

Absolutely... oil or cutting fluid is a must or the bits will overheat and dull very quick.

If the quality of this item was not so poor, you would mount the drill bits in the tool provided and twist with your hand. However the bits are off size and several aren't sharpened. Also the holder is made poorly and will not hold most of the small bits

Yes. I've used a Vise Grip with good results. The diameters of the bits are so small that the chuck on my reversible drill couldn't be tightened down adequately to prevent slipping. You must be careful though, not to snap the tool by applying too much force.

Yes, but there are better options. Sharpening stones are usually rectangular. You place the stone on a workbench or similar surface, and glide the knife over it. That's a bit harder to do with a tool that has a 36" handle, so this sharpener was designed to be held in the hand & glided across the axe blade that you are holding in your other hand.

No, not with this sharpener. The blades are to thick and not set at the right angle. Get him a bench grinder or a 4 1/2 in. hand grinder. I use the hand grinder and it works great. $15 at Harbor Freight if you have one close. Hope this helps.

no. it uses standard driver bits. It would probably break drill bits that are mounted in driver bits. It works really good for driving screws and nuts, which is what it is intended to do.
