My Walmart Hedge clipper is indeed only two or three years old. That said, I only have one long hedge to trim and I trim it once a year. That means that at most, I've used the stupid thing three times. No way should something need sharpening after you've used it three times....

Hey, Pete: Are you coming to NOMAD? If so, track me down and I'll play Bay Rum Blues for you. It's one of my favorites... along with When You'e Down and Out and Blues in the Bottle.. all great songs. Riley the Furniture Man is great too, as is Black Bottom Blues.

Been playing that stuff for 40 years..
