  1. Has anyone experienced any issues fitting the new Powerfly holders into a Blackstone Tri Lie holder? I just bought the new Hyperlite 2 skates - size 6.5 - 254 holder. There does not seem to be enough room on my holder to enable the blade to sit where I can clamp it. I knew from looking at it it could be an issue, but assumed there would be enough play. I just wanted to see if others with manual sharpeners had experienced this as well. I would prefer to not constantly have to take the steel out.
  2. I have both the Wissota and the Tri-Lie for my Blademaster Portable (SPB 850). I am in the same position as you, sharpen about 3 pairs per week for me and the kids. I originally bought the Wissota due to the price difference. I stepped up to the heavy-duty Tri-Lie after about 1 year, due to the quality difference. The Tri-Lie is definitely more sturdy and the clamp is much better and faster (even that speed is not an issue for my volume). Honestly, I think that the Wissota was fine and actually a better fit for the youth skates. If you are going to be sharpening larger adult skates more often, I would say the Tri-Lie. But for youth/junior skates and smaller sized senior skates, I think the Wissota is a great value and should be a good choice. Again just my personal experience.
  3. I had the same experience as dkmiller. Labral repair and impingement in the hip socket. Doctor said 6 months before I was back to normal, but it was actually closer to 1 full year before I was 100%. I still experienced a lot of soreness at the 3-6 month mark, but that eventually went away.
  4. Can anybody tell me if the PlayRite sticks in the 20 and 25 flex, have the slightly larger shaft and blade dimensions like Raven sticks. None of my local dealers have these in stock yet and wanted to see if it worth waiting for. Thank you.
