I do not have one; but I had thought about getting one because I don't like to sharpen my own chains. I decided against it because not only do you have to get their sharpener, but you also have to get their proprietary bar and chains.
Exactly the reason I condemned the thing. You're better off spending twice the money on a Timberline sharpener and it works with all standard bars/chains.

I tried it out and returned it ! They are good in concept however once the tooth wears down about half way they are all but usless. It does not take long to wear it down either as the teeth a fairly small. The other issues the grabbing mine would grab occasionally which should not happen on 46cc saw plenty of power there. I do not like the fact that your locked into a specific bar and chain either. It was a disappointing experiment over all.
