This system is utterly fantastic for keeping chisels and plane irons sharp, quickly, and consistently. The one caveat is getting them sharp the first time. Taking a dull, chipped, or off-angle blade through the process, first the primary angle and then the secondary is a slow tedious frustrating experience. That is because there are much faster methods out there for initial sharpening. Now that I have all my tools sharp it is an easy pleasure to keep them that way. I would also gladly pay twice or more for this system to be upgraded. Ball bearing no slop carriage system, and a tool holding jig to eliminate operator error would be great starters.

This is an awesome tool, because it is very convenient to set up and very easy – foolproof – to use. For example today, when I noticed a chisel wasn’t as sharp as I’d prefer it. Typically, I’d make due with the chisel as is (not a great idea). But because the alternative would be to set up an entire sharpening activity, which would distract me because I’d end up pulling out all my chisels; it would be a whole project of its own. Instead, I just pulled out the sharpener bag and in a couple of minutes I had the chisel tuned up enough to get back to work without losing focus. Caveat: I haven’t yet tried it out for a “full” sharpening effort (that is, running through a range of grits to repair a chisel rather than the touch up I did today).

The best sharpener for chisels – I have tried a variety of other sharpening devices but could never get the bevel of the grind correct. My bevels had a curve in them and I just couldn’t get it right. I was hesitant to buy this because of the cost but am glad I did. I now have chisels with a flat bevel and an edge that is sharp enough to shave edges from a sheet of paper. This is the best investment I have made in a tool. For anyone who is as OCD as I am about the quality of their tools, I heartily recommend this sharpener.

“This is by far the easiest and fast way to keep your tools sharp. I keep it handy, so when I reach for chisel I can give it a few swipes and I know it is sharp”

Definitely worth it! – I’m a new wood worker and just getting into sharpening my tools. It’s always been a little intimidating to sharpen on just a wet stone or other jigs but using the Fasttrack is a breeze. Very simple and quick. Their customer service is top notch too!

“Simple to use and a great necessity to solve a big problem: how to quickly sharpen tools while on the go. They can be sharpened and tuned finely later with more time, but if you need to get something sharp as you’re working on your projects, this is fantastic.”
