How Our Pricing Structure Works.
All quoted sharpening prices are quoted as “Off The Unit” blades meaning the customer removed the blades from the unit before bringing them to us for sharpening.
If the entire unit is brought to us intact, we charge $30.00 to remove the blades from your unit and then to reinstall them on the unit before we give them back.
Our pricing is based upon the number of EDGES we need to sharpen on the top and bottom blade. Simply count up the number of edges that need to be sharpened and then multiply that number by the cost to sharpen one edge, below to get the cost of sharpening your hedge trimmer blades.
We chose this mechanism to allow our customers to be able to reasonably easy to calculate the price for sharpening the specific hedge trimmer blades because there are MANY different configurations of cutting teeth and “shear bar” teeth. Some teeth have one edge, some teeth have 2 edges, and some teeth are what we call “shear bar” teeth that have no sharpened edge on them at all.
For Gas Trimmers where we are removing the blades, you MUST completely drain the fuel BEFORE bringing the unit to us.
