Top Sharpening related questions

The cost of sharpening services can range from $5 to $30, depending on the type of item you need to get sharpened. The prices can go higher for bigger tools or for the blades of power equipment. For example, the cost to sharpen lawn mower blades can range from $50 to $70. Be sure to specify the details of the job so you can get the best offers for a sharpening service around you.

Sharpening services can be done on-site (e.g. your home or restaurant) or in a workshop. Your Tasker can go to you and bring their sharpening tools or equipment. As another option, your Tasker can collect your tools, scissors, or kitchen knives. After sharpening your items, your Tasker can then deliver them back to you. A third option is to wrap and secure your knife in a box with bubble wrap. Then, send the knife to your Tasker.

Specialists sharpen lawn tools or garden tools with a file, whetstone, or sharpening stone. Your Tasker may use one method to sharpen pruners, shears, and loppers. Holding a tool firmly in place, a specialist passes the sharpener over the blade’s edge.

Yes, some specialists may be willing to de-rust your tools. Your Tasker may use steel wool, crumpled tin foil, or a brush to scrub off the rust. Once the tools are rust-free, your Tasker can proceed to sharpen the blades. Attach a photo of your rusty tools for restoration so that Taskers can advise you on the best materials, methods, and tips to restore your tools.

Yes, feel free to provide your own sharpening tools and equipment. Airtasker is also the place to go if you need someone to do the tedious work. Sharpening tools include whetstones, files, sharpening steel, and electric knife sharpeners. Specify what tools you have in your listing. Taskers can then advise you on the best tools or equipment to use for the job. They may recommend buying a different tool or offer to bring their own equipment.

Blade sharpening services can take as little as 10 minutes. But the working time depends on the condition of the blade and the type of tool they are sharpening. A chainsaw or very dull knife could take up to 20-30 minutes to sharpen. Experience and skill can also factor into a specialist’s working time. Post your sharpening request today to find rated, reviewed, and trusted specialists near you.

No, honing is different from sharpening. Sharpening involves grinding a blade’s edge against a sharpening stone. Meanwhile, honing is the process of maintaining an already sharp edge. You can request honing or sharpening services on Airtasker.

Top Scissor Sharpening related questions

You get cost-efficiency, speed and convenience. Forget about buying new scissors whenever they get dull and save your money. You don't have to look for a tradesman - a skilled Tasker can come over and sharpen your scissors in minutes, with just one post. You don't even have to leave your home or place of business to book and get the service! You enjoy reasonably-priced, fast and efficient service from our platform right when you need it.
No, you don't have to provide these. This is a benefit of hiring Taskers since they bring the skills, experience and requested tools to do complex and sometimes labour-intensive jobs like electrical work, assembly, plumbing and building & construction for you. What you may have to provide is an electric outlet for your Tasker to run any powered tools they may use for your scissor sharpening service. However, you're free to lend them tools that can make their job easier.
That will depend on a few factors: the number of scissors to be sharpened, the speed at which your Tasker works, and the dullness of the scissors. One pair of scissors (that don't need to be taken apart and reassembled after sharpening) can take around 45 minutes. A simple sharpening without disassembly can take 20 minutes or so. Allow more time if you have an entire set sharpened, so a full set of barber or hairdresser scissors can take an hour or so to sharpen.
They sure can! If you do scissor sharpening as a business, you can hire Taskers to assist you. Hire them when you need more people when you offer services like hairdresser scissor sharpening, mobile scissor sharpening or even mobile clipper blade sharpening. Just be specific in your job post on Airtasker to attract the most qualified ones, and let them know exactly what's expected of them.
Yes, you can as long as you have the right tools, skills and experience. You can sharpen ordinary household scissors with store-bought sharpeners. Still, specialised scissors used by barbers, hairstylists or other professions call for a more skilled hand and specialised tools to sharpen them right. If you need to have professional scissors sharpened, we recommend you hire your nearest, qualified Tasker.
As the name implies, this is a scissor sharpening service that uses a courier or the local postal service. Clients mail their blunt scissors to the service; they sharpen the scissors, then ship them back to the clients that sent them via priority mail. While this can be a useful service, do note that the delivery time can vary so it may not be the fastest or most convenient way to have scissors sharpened.    

Top Chainsaw Sharpening related questions

A sharp chainsaw allows for consistent and accurate work. Chainsaw blade sharpening can also make woodworking tasks much more manageable. Further, sharp chains are less likely to buckle, which means fewer chances of accidents. Chainsaw sharpening also increases the longevity of your chainsaw.
Your specialist can sharpen your chainsaw in your garage or backyard. Or they can collect the chainsaw, sharpen it in their workshop, and deliver it back to you. You can even leave your chainsaw outside. Then, your Tasker can sharpen your chainsaw at a distance. When the task is complete, Airtasker charges your card so you can avoid person to person contact.
A specialist sharpens a chainsaw by hand with a file or by power sharpening with a rotary tool. Another option is to use a bench mounted machine. The expert files the cutters at a consistent angle and repetitions. This step ensures the chainsaw is balanced. Keep in mind: using the right tools is crucial to chainsaw sharpening. For example, a standard rattail file could ruin your chain’s cutters.
Yes! Some sharpening specialists may be willing to de-rust your old chainsaw - feel free to request chainsaw restoration on Airtasker. Rust is one of the biggest chainsaw killers. Rust can weaken chainsaw blades and decrease their efficiency. Rust removal involves disassembling the rusted parts, cleaning off the rust, and cleaning the engine. The steps may vary depending on the condition of the chainsaw.
You should replace a chainsaw chain if the teeth are broken or unevenly worn. If a chain is beyond repair, it may feel unbalanced or rattle when you use it. Chain tension issues and smoke when cutting are other signs you need a chain replacement. Before you opt to replace your chains, Taskers can assess whether your chain is repairable or not. Attach a photo to your Airtasker request and get free quotes from specialists near you.
Chainsaw sharpening can take about 10 minutes. Within that short period, a specialist can turn your dull chainsaw into a firewood-cutting ninja. Please take note that labour time may vary depending on the amount of work your chain needs. Your specialist can give you a customised estimate based on your specific chainsaw.

Top Knife Sharpening related questions

You don’t have to content yourself with dull knives in your home kitchen or worksite again. This blade sharpening service can also save you money since you don’t have to buy new knives every time they lose their edge. Much like electrical or assembly services, it’s usually challenging to find a local blade sharpening service on short notice. Still, when you hire a Tasker to do this, you can find someone within a few minutes to sharpen your blades.
Nope! As with hiring Taskers to do building & construction or plumbing, you don’t have to provide any tools or equipment when hiring Taskers to sharpen your knives. Apart from skill and years of experience, Taskers come equipped with their tools to perform the service you hired them to do. At the very least, they may need an electrical outlet for powering a portable grinding tool.
The time a Tasker will need to sharpen a knife or knives can vary. Usually, it can take around half an hour to inspect, sharpen, remove burrs and test a single knife after it’s sharpened. It can take less time if the knife isn’t as dull and if the Tasker works fast. Expect your specialist to finish in an hour or more if they need to take extra care with a special knife, especially those with serrated edges.
Sure, you can! If you offer knife sharpening services yourself as a business, you can hire Taskers if you’re short-handed and there’s a lot of demand for knife sharpening services in your area. Some Taskers can even help you with sword sharpening if you have clients that are blade collectors or enthusiasts that want them. Just be specific about your needs to help you hire the right Tasker or Taskers, so they know what’s expected of them.
Sure, Taskers can also sharpen your pocket knives by booking the knife sharpening service. Do note that it may not be cost-efficient for you, as most pocket knives have small blades and the cost may be too much for sharpening one small blade. We suggest you have your pocket knife sharpened along with all your other knives when hiring this service.
You can sharpen your knives in many ways. One common practice is to use traditional whetstone and learn how to use it. Many hardware or online stores also sell different kinds of knife sharpeners which you can purchase and learn to use by following their enclosed instructions. We suggest you practice on cheap knives, then consult a knife sharpening expert or find a course on professional knife sharpening to “sharpen” your skills!
