File and a vise to clamp the bar in is all I need.

Another gadget, read the reviews. A good file guide (the type the file mounts in) and the correct file will do better from what I see. Clamping the bar in a vise or other method of holding it from moving as you file helps.

I bought one, wasted my money, piece of junk. IMO

I bought a Harbor Freight Grade sharpener. Looks/works like a professional grade Oregon, plenty good enough for the chains I sharpen. Quick, accurate and consistent, beats the daylights out of any manual filing system.

When necessary, I'll chuck up a sanding disc in my right-angle die grinder to touch up the rakers.

I have a powered sharpener too, can't remember the brand but it works great when the chain needs a sharpening because I hit something with it. Otherwise I just use a file. After all these years I can do a pretty good job by eye.

I have a cheap HF power sharpener to save a damaged chain but the rest of my sharpening has been freehand with a file. My wrists and hands are worn out and file sharpening hurts. What I found to make it easier on my body was the 2 in 1 style sharpeners like the Stihl. Much easier to hold then just a file, I do clamp the bar in a vise.

I too have had a cheap HF grinder for 20 years, works great.

I use an HF grinder on a badly beat up chain, but it takes off a lot of metal to use for every sharpening. I use a stone in a Dremel tool for routine sharpening.
