Takes off too much metal and is very bad at what it does. It uses a
grinding action to make a blade appear sharp, but it is only a burr, not a
sharp edge.

I don't think you're looking at the "Shear & Scissor" sharpener. Perhaps
the "Rotary Mower & Tool Sharpener" ?

No grinding action with the "Shear & Scissor" sharpener - a simple few
strokes and that's it :-) Up in the garden again today and shears still
*very* sharp :-)

I'm not an expert - I could be wrong.
