Surface Tension Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Blaker55, thanks. I had to go about the repair differently. It worked and it didn't take take a huge amount of material off the edge so the blade has a lot of life left in it.Thanks Again,Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've said it before, Frank does top notch work. He is extremley dedicated to quality service. I have seen him work on blades. He never cuts corners and strives towards perfection. Heck, he had to cancel our planned fishing trip last Friday because he was having issues trying to get a blade done "right". Old school craftsman. Not many around like him anymore. BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJMOEN Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got my auger blade back, very quickly at that...havnt gotten to use it yet but it must be REALLY sharp because there looks to be a little blood on the card Frank left in the box. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicstix Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Frank, do you sell replacment rubber straps for the Nils cover? How much and do you have 2? I'll be sending a blade up to you this week. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No I don't sell the straps but chances are if your blade cover shows up missing the strap I'll make one out of an old inter tube and put it on your cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stark Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 sent my blades to frank on a saturday. got them back razor sharp on monday.thanks frank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullies Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I didn't know that Nils blade are different so I sent my StrikeMaster Laser Mag blades to him thinking he would service them too, of course he does and it came back a day later in top notch and sharp like new again. The good thing about Frank is that he doesn't charge a handful for SM blades. Cheaper than the Nils blade. Thanks for a wonderful job well done Frank. I would rank his service an A+.

live4chrome Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 How much are they charging to get an 8"nulls blade sharpened. Thinking about picking one up but scared of the price of new blades nvm 20 $ is a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Tension Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The Cold Snap covers for Nils are a fairly and not non widely available but a Google search will show you the way.live4chrome, new Nils 8" blades range from $90-$100 depending on the powerpoint or non PP.Take care of them and they can be sharpened many times over.

mallardnwalleye Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can you sharpen Nils Ice saws or offer advice on how to? I have a Nils Ice saw I use for spear holes that has gotten dull this winter from sitting in in the back of my truck with partially ripped open bags of concrete.

Surface Tension Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I haven't sharpened Nils saws. Maybe you've seen this ThreadI'm sure they would do your Nils saw. If not get a hold of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Holy Moly Frank!I put the Nils head in the mail Tuesday afternoon and it was on my front step tonight when I got home. That's unbelievably fast service! If I knew it was going to be back that soon I wouldn't have even put on my back up drill head.Thanks again.
