Thanks!

I agree with Darren that this is a worthwhile tool to acquire due to the potential of repairing, instead of replacing, and the immediacy of getting a damaged airbrush back into action (single or double-action!).

Airbrushes.com has produced a quality A4 instruction booklet for SharpenAir. They told me they include it in each order, and it is also available for download on their website.

I fully agree with the review, I took mine in Oz and it was on-sale so I already saved 20 bucks, as soon as I got it I put it right at work and my crooked needle for the Grex is back like new...after having used the 300 grit pad and a pair of polishing sticks is better even than a new one.

For me it was a good investment,we must be careful not to make too much pressure because it can 'stuck between the stones but as with any tool it takes a bit' of practice.

I found that to optimize the result,the best thing is to first straighten the needle as much as possible with the traditional methods, I use 2 blocks of wood, in this way in addition to making the job faster extends also the life of the stones

however thumb up

Great piece of gear... Unless you prefer to buy new needles.
