A little complicated to use, but your time spent on learning to use it will be time well spent.
First impression, WOW; second impression, WOWSERS. Folks, it is true, you do get what you pay for! Yes, this thing is expensive, however, if you are serious about sharpening scissors, AND ONLY SCISSORS AND GARDEN TOOLS WITH THIS UNIT, you will NOT be disappointed. It is a very high quality product, appears to be very durable, even though I did purchase an extra set of sharpening stones (I have a lot of scissors and other tools to sharpen). There are hundreds of products on the market for this purpose, and many are easier to use, however, if you want a professional level of sharpness on your scissors or garden tools, buy this unit. It becomes easy to use and works very well indeed, once you TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN TO USE IT CORRECTLY; you will be very satisfied with the results. Period.

I love it
I absolutely love this system. It's solid, easy to use, and just works flawlessly. I've sharepened several pairs of scissors - everything from small electrician's scissors to large dress maker's shears and gardening shears. It easily accomodates all of them. The clamp is great, the abrasives are great, and the base is great.I wish this system packed up into a case for neat and tidy storage. That would be an improvement, and it's something I'd pay for. But it's not strictly necessary and I don't really expect it, so I'm not taking any stars away.

Need Update for Left Handed Scissor Set Up
Great little sharpener. I bought this to sharpen my sewing scissors and it does a good job. I am left handed so my shears are left handed as well. Where I am frustrated is that Sharpal CS told me that this would indeed sharpen left handed shears and that their instruction manual included information on how to set it up for the this use. Wrong. There is no reference at all for left handed items. The blades on most left handed shears are completely reversed and do not mount on the unit as do right handed shears. I worked out a solution but it would really be helpful if they would update their on line info and videos as well as their manual to actually show the details.

Easier to use than the instructions might lead you to believe. Works very well.
When this first arrived and I unboxed it and read the instructions I felt cheated. First, they looked incredibly complicated. Second, they related only to scissors, and I expected to use it on garden tools and so on. Doh! As I assembled it I realised it's actually very simple, and very clever. I sharpened a pair of scissors in a minute. And then I took it down into my workshop, and disassembled some hedge shears, figured out how to use the sharpener on them and in 5 minutes I made them almost as sharp as when I first bought them. 20 minutes later I had a second pair of shears and a branch-lopper working better than they have for a long time. So this little device (and it looks too small to work on these garden tools), has already paid for itself by saving me buying three new garden tools. And I have some more to tackle yet as well. Only negative comment - the instructions regarding blade angle are unnecessarily complex. Just lay the tool on your blade and work out the angle you need. Take a couple of swipes on the blade and you'll quickly see if it needs adjustment, which is easy as... Very happy customer.

An Amazing Tool
Sharpal is an amazing brand with amazing quality. This tool is easy to use and extremely functional. It fits a wide assortment of scissors and gardening tools. The quality of their diamond stones are absolutely amazing for the price, cut metal extremely well, and last a while. The fixed angle holds very well without any noticeable wobble, and it’s great for establishing an even bevel that’s easy to work with. Overall, I would recommend any of Sharpal’s diamond stone products. They work well, and are at a good price. This is definitely a product and a brand worth noting.

How it works
What exactly as I expected but it did work fairly good on some of my scissors. Some were shaped wrong and did not fit real good. Defending on what you needed to use it far you might do more research on it.
