 Good tool for touch-ups and a good priceMar 24, 2009
By J. Fraser
This device is really not intended to replace a professional skate sharpening machine that is done in the pro-shops. However, for touch ups or emergency sharpening or to get a minor ding out while your on the bench this gets the job done. I find you can extend how long you have to go between sharpening too, so it will more than pay for itself over time. It is adjustable and easy to use. You should also get the replacement drums too because they do wear out. It is pretty simple to operate. For the money...it is a must-have in your hockey bag.

Works great, needed lube immediatelyJan 09, 2011

The Skate Mate has two adjusting knobs. When it arrived, one would not move at all. I put a few drops of oil on it, and it freed it right up.
The Skate Mate performs as advertised. My blades are now pristine every skate. I live and work 30 minutes from the pro shop, so it's not very convenient sometimes to get my skates sharpened. This tool fills in the gap perfectly.

Nice For Quick ResharpeningMay 05, 2011
By Steve Tillar
I use this unit for once-a-month freshening of blade edges. Easy to adjust to different blade widths. The only problem with the particular one I received, was that the little abrasive cylinder was not quite centered in the channel, thus not allowing the unit to sharpen blades evenly. I remedied this by taking the unit apart and rethreading the little thumbwheels evenly at each end and checking the centering of the cylinder. This took a couple tries, but I got it back to center alignment. A minor nuisance, but since I like tinkering with things, this was not much of an issue for me. Most of the units shipped out should not have this problem. Mine was probably a rare misalignment. Works better than the old chrome-plated "egg-shaped" sharpener I have used in the past, which contained a hardened steel cutting disc for sharpening. Overall, for the price, I like this unit.
