Stihl Genuine 5605 007 1027 Stihl Filing Kit for 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch Picco Chain

Really well-designed and well-made set. Good quality steel in each file and in the file-holder. The cover closes with 2 snap fasteners and velcro strap. It also has a loop for attaching to your belt and a list inside containing information on chains and how to sharpen them. Stihl have excelled themselves with this kit. Would give it 6 stars if possible. Note: The steel in the depth gauge is softer than the files, so remove the gauge before filing and then reposition it to check again.

Used it as soon as it's been delivered. It does work well, my chainsaw was blunt and after sharpening it worked to perfection

Good file if you know how to use them. Keeps my chainsaw nice and sharp. Was half the price of the shop I normally use

This could be a 5-star design. However, the design and installation of the file shaft let it down. But it does generate more income for Stihl. When you consider this as a push file pressed through a hardened, offset, thin blade, the flimsy file shank is liable to fail. As it will if dropped. Both render the made-to-measure file useless. The file shank either needs to be much more robust and/or buried much deeper so the file handle butts to the file guide for additional support.

Much cheaper than a new chain. Very easy to use. Highly satisfying when a dull chain is revived to its usual wood-ripping glory, after five minutes of therapeutic filing. Well worth it.

Works well

Sthil chainsaw sharpener,, brilliant for the money,, I've bought so meny sharpeners for more money and they were rubbish and don't work or last, bought this simple and aqurate, just like me

Expected good quality and initially seemed so. Then found that the round file has begun to bend. Still holding but expect it will snap off at the handle pretty soon
