- In this video I’ll show you how to properly file your STIHL chainsaw chains using the STIHL 2 in 1 chainsaw chain sharpener.
This is a simple tool to use after a little bit of practice and will surely save you time and money in the future.
Thanks for checking it out!
Best video I found for this sharpener
Alpha-male 1! Dude thanks brother! I appreciate the comment, view and support! You sir, are a Legend! Legendary-Male 1!
Ditto
For a complete novice this is the best video. Clear, concise, and not too fast. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the positive feedback and support! I’m really glad it helped!
Great tutorial. Marker life-hack was a game changer.
Thanks Whiskey! I really like the marker idea as well. Less to look at when filing! Super appreciate the comment and support :) thanks again
Thanks for showing how to properly line things up and orient the sharpener. Much better video than the one by Stihl which just shows the guy running it across the chain with no explanation!
Hey Sammy! I appreciate that my friend. I’m glad the video helped. I hope you have a great weekend 😎
Your instructions about where to place the guides was the part that solved the puzzle for me. Thanks for the good, easy to follow video!
My man Joe! Super glad I helped you figure it out! That sharpener rocks and is so easy to use once you sharpen a few teeth! Thanks my fiend! Appreciate the comment!
The official Stihl video about this tool is total trash, yours is very helpful thanks!
Hey thanks Michael and I agree. I'm glad it helped! That little sharpener works really good and it takes the guess work out of doing it. Thanks again for the support my friend :)
Great info fella I got one of these a couple months ago but you have shown the correct way to use it, also I can’t emphasise enough use two gloves when doing this, one slip and you’ll slash yourself “hopefully not”
🇦🇺🤙
Thanks Alan and I couldn't agree more with the gloves... it just takes one slip. Thanks for the comment and support. I really dig it :)
Finally, a good close up and explanation for using this tool. Gracias!
Hey Ceasar! I really appreciate the comment and support. I’m happy this helped you :)
Finally, a video that shows how to get to the files to adjust or replace. I like the idea of using a sharpie to highlight the directional arrows/angles.😇
Thanks Mike! I really appreciate the comment and support. I’m glad it helped you! Take care!
Excellent video, very informative. What l like to do after l have sharpened on side is to take the saw out of the vice then turn it around, clamp it up then sharpen the other set .
@Mackeson3 hey! That’s a great idea! That makes it even easier! Appreciate the comment and support my friend!
I concur with other comments. Best video I've seen. Stihl should hire you. No one really goes into detail on changing the files.
And this sharpener is legit. Even when we're on the 'back 40' I keep this sharpener in the side x side for quick sharpening in the event we nick a rock.
Thanks Edgewood Apples! I really appreciate that! I remember when I first got this sharpener, I felt like I was reading a planes emergency card for how to use it. Haha. Thanks again for you support. It means a lot!
Best instructional video for this product
Hey thanks Paulwill85! Glad it helped and I appreciate the comment my friend :)
Most of my saws have full skip chain. I have have added thick wall black tubing to guide rails so file works perfectly for my full skip chains!
That’s awesome Ronald and a great tip on how to make these work for Full skip chains! Thanks a lot for this :)
I just found your video, as stated, this is the best video on this product. You are the first one I've found that shows how to replace the files. Those purchasing fake knock-off 2 in 1 sharpeners will find this a problem as the files don't remove easily. The fakes also sometimes pop open while sharpening. I still like the 2 in 1 but have discovered that the Dremel diamond burrs are much easier and faster. They produce a much better cutting chain too. Good video, thanks.
Hey Dale! I appreciate the kind words my friend! I’m glad this was useful to you! The diamond deemed burrs sound really cool. I have a deemed and might need to check that out, especially for field sharpening! Thanks again Dale and I hope you have a great night :)
@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Update, I've recently returned to primarily using the Stihl 2in1. I've been doing a lot of sawing lately and found out the 2in1 is more consistent than doing it freehand with diamond stones or just a file. It's so important to keep those depth gauges set right. The 2in1 is more difficult to use when used correctly (especially out in the woods). But the added effort over freehand makes for a longer lasting chain (in my opinion). P.S. If a person tends to be sloppy and doesn't follow your instructions here, they'd probably be better off just using a file.
@@dalehammond1749 hey thanks for this Dale! That’s a great update! I’m
just happy I was able to provide a good instructional video. There are always things to improve but yea, just glad it helped. It’s a great tool for in the shop on a bench. The field is where the struggles could be real. I haven’t done a field sharpening yet but maybe here in the future I’ll try something out. Thanks again my friend, and I’m super glad I didn’t mess up the instructions 😂
This video is excellently detailed and video's. Thx!
Thanks Cool Banana Boy! I really appreciate the kind words and support!
Excellent tutorial. I sincerely
Appreciate sharing your knowledge.
Straight forward. Temperament and
Instructions are above average.
High marks.
Thanks Steve! I’m glad this video helped and the tool is super easy to use! I use it all of the time. I appreciate the kind words and support my friend :)

@stevemartinez7153 that’s amazing Steve! You sound like you have a lot of great experience in television with some amazing talent. And like I said before, I really appreciate the kind words. I have zero background with video/audio but have always liked helping others. This YT adventure has taught me a lot about myself and what I’m capable of. I normally do gold prospecting videos, but when I have a diy project or something helpful to share, I try and do a video on that. I can tell im getting better. I strive for a 1% improvement on each of my videos, so after 100 videos, I should be 100% better than my number #1. If I could redo my older videos, I know they’d be way better, lol. It’s hard to even watch my older ones… 🤣 Thanks again and welcome to my channel. It’s great having you here!
Great close up! Fantastic idea to mark the guide arrows and lines!
Thanks Me Long! Really appreciate the comment and support! I also made a CZcams Short for faster viewing. Thanks again!
Thank you for the very clear and concise instructions you provided in this video. Good tips on marking the guide lines, very helpful.
Much respect Knaure! I appreciate the comment and support and I’m glad it helped you out. Stay safe out there 💪😎👍
Haha everything is expensive here in Australia! Was about 75$ in the actual Stihl shop. But definitely worth from the the looks of it! Thanks for the video. That's a great demo!
Hey Patrick! What’s up? Wow that is expensive…. But yea your right, everything right now is through the roof. Even with us over here in the US. Glad you liked the video. It really is so easy and just being able to keep it on the bar is worth it for me. Thanks my friend and enjoy the rest of your day 😎
You got ripped of Patrick, I’m in Australia and paid $67 last week 8-3-23
@@Shirley-hr8tx i don't think I'm that worried. Seeing i got the item over 7 months ago. 8 dollars over the course of 7 months i don't think I'll lose any sleep over it. Have a nice night.
Learn to file by hand (free filing) you'll never look back
Thanks for the comment, since I’ve been using my chainsaw more frequently and getting much better with the 2 in 1, I definitely feel the need to learn how to field file the traditional way. Fun stuff! Thanks for the comment and support.
I bought one of these for my MS170 from Amazon and although it was marked 3/8p on the package the actual file inside had 3/8 marked on it so it was too big. i had paid over 80.00 so it is getting returned, I then went to the local Stihl dealer and was surprised to find them for less than 50.00. wish I had of done that in the first place, really great file also great video.
Great comment Clint and thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience. I originally bought off eBay and overpaid like you. One of my files were broken to boot! The guy came through and made it right, which was nice, but if I would’ve just hopped in the car and driven a few miles in the first place. I would of saved well over 50.00 bucks and a couple days time. Sometimes an online convenience isn’t worth it and people definitely overcharge. Isn’t crazy how much cheaper they are at the dealer? Usually dealers do the opposite, that’s why I never even thought to check. Anyhow, yea I have the 3/8p as well for an arbor saw I have. Things eats!!! Appreciate your time my friend, I really do. 😎
Thanks a lot. This video really explained how I should sharpen the chain + some tips.
I appreciate that Maxim! So happy it helped you. Thanks for the support :)
Thanks for the great demonstration. Easy to follow.
Thanks Randy! Really glad it helped and I appreciate the feedback and support. I hope you have a great day.
Short and to the point
Thanks Thomas! Really appreciate the comment and support!
Awsome thanks for that demo
Hey thanks James! You bet! I appreciate the comment and support :)
Thank you very much!!
Thank you Benito! Super appreciate the comment and support my friend! Glad it helped
Nice video, thanks for sharing 🙌🏻😊
Thank you :) Appreciate you 😎
There are two 3/8ths 2 in 1 files.
One is 4.0mm known as the 3/8P file
The other you are using is the 5.2mm
They only make one version of the .325
Thanks Eric, and yea without rewatching this, I may of misspoke, which happens. I know that Stihl currently has 5 versions of this file and I have 2 file sets for my saws. We just had to make sure and match the file with the type of chain used.
Thanks again for pointing that out and I hope you have a great day Eric!
@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser My 3/8ths chain takes a 5/32 file. Do any of the stihl 2n1 sharpeners have that file? Thank you for your help and Great Instructional Video
@@2005Pilot hey 2005Pilot! Thanks for the support and question. As for an answer, my 3/8” P sharpener comes with the 5/32” round file. I hope that helps you :)
@@StoneyCreekSparkchaser Awesome man! Thankyou for the fast reply 😁👍👍. I have Oregon chains (3/8 LP) and was wondering if this would work. Sounds like it might?
@2005Pilot you’re welcome and I think it might. I have some smaller Oregon chains I sharpen with them, so yea. You have a good chance. :)
I just one of these for a stihl pole saw. Any advice how to get replacement files? My local stihl “distributor” just has no clue how to order parts, no clue how they became a certified stihl dealer!
Hey Jack! Well that sucks! The only other place (and I just checked) is see what file size you currently need, then go to Amazon and type in Stihl replacement file with the size. I just saw a bunch pop up so I know the sizes are there and they should work in your sharpener. Also, if you don't trust that... maybe call another local shop (maybe in a town or two from you) and see if they can ship you a set.
That's what would do in your situation and I hope this works out for you. Thanks for the question Jack :)
I will do that. The dealer I went to is a Murdochs but down the road there is a northern tool with a service center, maybe they will be more help. Thank you!
@jackwebb5917 you got it Jack! Good luck dude :)
Good work 🍻
Thanks House Masters Tools! Hey, this is also the first time I’ve seen your channel! Looks right up my alley! I’ll be checking that out tonight! Appreciate you.

Thanks Piet! Very happy it helped you out! Thank you so much for checking out my channel! I hope I gained your support!!! 😎
Has everyone discovered the two in one is not designed for full skip chains. It is for full comp chains only!
Hey Ronald! That makes complete sense. Would those just be sharpened then with round files? I guess this is more for the homeowner where the use of skip chains aren’t normally used. I use them on occasion but for those I always had my boss sharpen those. Anyhow, thanks for commenting and appreciate your time. This video has indeed helped many people sharpen those blades and get back to work :)
@Stoney Creek Sparkchaser thanks for your thoughtful note. I have an ms261cm with full comp chain and use the correct 2 in one on it. I have added spare tubes to the square guide rails on the 2 in one for my bigger saws with full skip chains and I am happy with the results. We are cutting about 5 cords out of no marketable log decks also Douglas fir but ends every Friday am for a church wood ministry. I own a 462c, 400c, 034 super and 660 magnum so keeping the saws sharp for volunteer cutters is a challenge. Needless to say the wood can be dirty in rainy muddy western Washington.
That’s awesome that you do that Ronald! You are a true American helping other Americans and I get the rain completely. I also live in western Washington where it seems to never stop raining. Especially this year! You seem very well versed in the use of chainsaws. I use them more often than I think the casual homeowner but would consider myself a novice at best. I live in the forest where trees fall all of the time so Im constantly getting trees unstuck, bucked up and turning them into firewood for my house. Im sure you know this, but did you know that full skip chains are mostly used right here in the PNW? I think that’s correct… I have yearly chainsaw safety class at my work and Im pretty sure I heard that years ago. I recently went home to help my dad split some wood and do other things and him and his friend didn’t even know what I was talking about. I was like, that chain can eat some wood! Anyhow that’s Pennsylvania and not here. I appreciate the comment and for you sharing your experience. I definitely appreciate the support. Stay safe and have fun out there!
I have 3 saws and they using different size chains, can we change the file on this tool? Or I have to buy one tool specific for each size chain and also when the file goes bad can we change it?
Hey thanks for the comment Carlos! As far as I know you have to have a sharpener that is the same size as your chainsaws so in your instance you’ll need 3 different sharpeners that match each of your saws. As for the files, yes you can easily replace those with new ones. STIHL sells them in pack of 3 for like 8-10 bucks. Hope that helped brother and I appreciate you! 😎
