Sharpening garden shears make for cleaner cuts, so your plants can seal up faster. This means fewer chances of admitting disease. Not to mention, sharp garden shears are more comfortable to use. Aside from garden shears, Taskers can also sharpen pruners and shovels.Â
Sharpening hedge trimmers
When hedge trimmers are dull, garden chores can take forever. Trimming those hedges end up being more tiring and time-consuming than necessary. Also, worn blades could mash or bruise the stems of your plants!Â
Sharpening hedge trimmer blades can prevent all these problems. One way to sharpen hedge trimmers is to slide a metal filer down the edge. Then, the specialist can apply oil to the blade to prevent rust. Sharpening methods may vary from Tasker to Tasker.Â
Sharpening lawn mower blades
Keep your mower in good shape and maintain a healthy lawn with a sharpening service. Sharpening methods vary depending on the design of your mower.
