Milwaukee Compact knife sharpener (4932478562)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932478562

Milwaukee's 4932478562 is a compact sharpener for knives and scissors, with three sharpening settings: one for heavier blades, one for lighter ones and one for serrated edges. A finger loop gives control, a magnet lets it sit on a steel bench or tool chest, and a lanyard hole takes a tether.

Good to know

• What will I sharpen with it in the garage? Trimming knives and scissors used on carpet, sound-deadening mat, tape and hose, plus your everyday pocket knife. Snap-off blades are meant to be snapped to a fresh edge rather than sharpened.
• How do I use it? Choose the setting for the blade, then draw the blade through from heel to tip with light, even strokes, the same way each time. Several light passes do better than heavy pressure.
• Will it fix a chipped or very blunt blade? Not quickly: a small hand sharpener brings back a working edge, but a badly chipped blade needs grinding or replacing. Keep your fingers behind the edge and use the finger loop to hold it steady.

Which one?

It is the only sharpener in this Milwaukee range; a blade with chips in its edge is better replaced than sharpened.
