Tools and Hardware Reviews of AccuSharp Shear Sharp Scissor Sharpener

Customer Review: AccuSharp Shear Sharp Scissor Sharpener
Summary: 4 Stars

Works for me as advertised. I used it on kitchen knives as well as scissors and it sharpened both. I have had one of these for 3 years and bought the ones from Amazon to give as gifts.

Customer Review: Affordable Scissor Sharpener
Summary: 5 Stars

Great tool to sharp both average and large size scissors. NO need to discard those old scissors. With a couple of strokes, the scissor to back to the way it was when I first bought it. I bought other affordable scissor sharpeners before this one, they are easier to use and sharpens all my average size scissors. But the prior sharpeners can't handle the larger scissors.

Customer Review: Caution: you may ruin your shears
Summary: 1 Stars

I am soooo disappointed! I'd have given it no stars, but that wasn't an option. These actually made my scissors worse. I sew--everyday, so have a good bit of experience in this area. I was looking for something that would stretch out the lifespan of my multitude of sewing scissors without resorting to the so expensive professional sharpening. I had the small sharpener sold at Joann's for a year of so. That one worked but fell apart eventually. I thought I'd try a new one. The AccuSharp 2 Shear Sharp is so flimsily made I feared it was going to fall apart of this first use. On my larger scissors, it seemed to make gouges. They still cut fabric, but there was certainly no improvement in cutting. When using the Joann's sharpener, I always was pleased with the improvement in cutting after each use.

The design of this sharpener does not allow sharpening of scissors that do not open a great deal. Consequently, many of the sewing scissors, designed for the least amount of hand movement cannot be sharpened with this.

I stupidly continued on with this product hoping that it was just a matter of figuring out how it would best work. (Directions are minimal to say the least.) Now I need to take five pairs of scissors to a professional shop. Hopefully they are not beyond repair. I'd return it, but I need the money I'd spend on shipping to pay to get the scissors fixed.

Save your money. Joann's sharpener is several dollars cheaper, and you will get at least a year out of it.

Customer Review: Decent sharpener
Summary: 4 Stars

This sharpener works fairly well. Its easy to use and doesn't take up much space. It doesn't make blades razor sharp but does a decent job. I've yet to find a simple sharpener that makes a razor sharp edge, if I did I would buy it.
