Makita saw chain sharpening kits
Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of professional tools and accessories, has released two saw chain sharpening kits to retain optimal sharpness levels for both chain saws and pole saws.
“Pros know the value of a sharp chain, with many contractors and arborists sharpening their chain before starting their workday,” Said Nicole Tougas, product manager, outdoor power equipment, Makita U.S.A, Inc.
Recognizing that pros need to have a durable sharpening kit that can reside with their everyday tool kit to be used when needed, Makita designed the D-75910 and the D-75926 to include a saw chain file, a file guide, a flat file, a depth gauge tool and two extra file handles.
The firm said the saw chain file is used together with the file guide to sharpen saw chain cutting teeth, and the flat file is used with the depth gauge tool to maintain proper saw chain depth gauge settings.
The kit is offered in a convenient storage bag to protect the tools from the elements. Makita also offers replacements for the round files and the flat files in either a 2 pack or a 12 pack so a pro can update their kit when needed.
Makita currently offers 15 battery powered chain saws and four pole saws across the XGT and the LXT cordless systems.
“These sharpening kits enable users to maintain their saw chains and keep that fresh out-of-the-box factory sharpened cut quality,” said Tougas.
Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial power tools, power equipment, pneumatics and cleaning solutions that offer a wide range of industrial accessories. Makita U.S.A., Inc. is located in La Mirada, California, and operates an extensive distribution network throughout the U.S.
