If you want to keep your garden tools, trimming scissors, and pruning shears working to the best of their ability, you need to regularly sharpen them. Dull tools can lead to injury, or damage to tools or plants.

How do you sharpen garden tools?

Before sharpening your tools, they should be thoroughly cleaned. This helps prevent damage to your sharpener. Then, simply follow the instructions of your sharpener. Some of these products make sharpening incredibly easy.

We recommend using a sharpener from the same brand as your shears or scissors. Here at Hydrobuilder, we carry sharpeners from Corona, Fiskars, and Shear Perfection.
