Sharpening garden shears

Cutting branches and stems can be difficult with dull garden shears. Also, dull shears can result in messy cuts that make plants prone to disease. Your Tasker can revive those dull garden shears within minutes. Post your request now to start finding cheap sharpening services near you. 

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. 

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! 

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. 

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. Some mowers allow for sharpening without removing the blade. In this case, sharpening can be done faster. Specialists use bench grinders, hand files, rotary tools, or angle grinders to sharpen mower blades.

With Airtasker, you don’t have to limit yourself to garden tool sharpening services. Taskers can also sharpen knives, chainsaws, saw blades, and chisels. You can even book a circular saw blade sharpening via our platform. Whatever you need, let us know how we can help. Airtasker services also extend to other handyman tasks.
