Hey!
I just started thinking, how many things do I use the diamond sharpening tools on in the shop and would this be useful to others at home or in a far away place.

Here is a short list of tools I touch up with a simple diamond hand stone:

Diagonals (for cutting wire)
Drill bits, high speed steel, cobalt and carbide.
Screwdrivers, (deburring the bit after abuse)
Scissors (best sharpening possible, no stop gap measure)
Leather knives
X-Acto blades, (easier than changing them all the time)
lathe tools
milling cutters, high speed steel and carbide
carbide scribe (for layout work on metals)
machete (brush duty)
Hoof trimmers (horse)
loppers (garden brush and landscape)
Axe,(touch up only)
pocket knife
