I've yet to have a problem with dull shovels or hand shovels, and my pruners
get sharpened on a regular basis anyway since it only takes me about 3
minutes to sharpen 2 pruners. I suppose it doesnt matter which method you
do, but I like being able to just shove my shovel or hand shovel or pruners
into a pot of oil soaked sand instead of having to spray them with
something. Just more convienient for my lifestyle.

How do you keep the grit out of the mechanism?
