Thanks for the replys fellas will have go tomorrowI have 7 pairs all bought for a couple of quid each blunt just take them apart and I rub mine up on the disc sander or belt sander till perfectly flat put back together and there perfect , don't grind the cutting edge or there ruined
I always sharpen, snips,shears and chisels etc with a file.
Usually if the item is too hard to dress with a file it will be too hard/brittle and prone to chipping in use.
yea a standard nut and bolt using a nylock nut and a bit of locktiteHas anybody replaced the nut and bolt as mine have just sheered off!
Christ id choke if I paid more than a fiver a pairThat's good to hear as I've been looking at the proper Gilbow ones and the nearly a fiver each!
