This looks like it would actually be worth it.
Edit, MSRP $45, available soon. It looks pretty easy to use, and looks like it would work well.

Wonder if the Pferd patent finally ran out?

I’m not seeing it available yet. Wonder where it will be released first.

my honest opinion is for $45 they can keep it. not trying to be rude, but damn it doesnt seem like theres a whole lot of value there. I may be wrong though I have never seen one in action.

The STIHL 2-in1 (same as the Pferd model) is insanely popular. Like it or hate it, many casual chainsaw users see it as a convenient answer for sharpening.

This is another choice, or at least, an attempt to claim a piece of that market, aside from the cheap clones on eBay, Amazon, etc.

Hopefully, it will address some of the STIHL / Pferd issues, such as:
- expensive, proprietary, center (depth gauge) files;
- some feel that it files the depth gauges too aggressively.

I wonder if they will do away with the Husqvarna "SharpForce".(?)

Husqvarna Sharp Force™ File Guide

Files both the cutter and depth gauge at one time, maintaining optimum cutting performance of the saw chain.

While this may be beneficial to some, I do belive the old school way of filing is the best.

Either system will require muscle memory.

From the perspective of someone likely to purchase this product. I currently use a Timberline, I bought one back when the guy was first promoting them. It works very well. A little finicky to get set up right and definitely not fast. The only real drawback is that you use a chain until you don't like it. Swap it out, and sharpen it later. This means you spend a certain amount of time, with a less than optimal chain. This file guide appears to be well designed and easy to use. There will be plenty of winter nights for running my chains through the Timberline, and using a raker gauge, to check them. I've never needed to hand file. I'm not climbing around on the side of a mountain. I will use this product to touch up while working.

The sharp force is made by Pferd as well. They have made a few different designs of one step sharping tools.

It's possible that the new husky guide is made by then as well

I’m sure this will work very well just like I think the 2 in 1 Stihl one works very well. I recommend the 2 in 1 all the time to locals buying their first saw and or the casual firewood cutter that needs to keep a serviceable chain to cut wood. They don’t make a chain equivalent to a good hand filed one by someone who knows how but it’s more than good enough for a homeowner cutting firewood. I actually have a friend that’s a machinist and he has never been able to do a good job hand filling so he bought one of the 2 in 1 and loves it. Recommend you buy a stump vice or some other way to clamp saw bar so you can use both hands. Also make sure your push force gos back into the cutter and not down which seems to flex the frame and I think is part or the reason they get the rakers cut to far down making an aggressive chain.

If Husky would issue a part#, and make this available, I'd buy one tomorrow. I realize there are similar products out there, but I like the looks of this one.
