Sparx Skate Sharpener - At home sharpener
IPv6Freely replied to tamtamg's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Just ordered my dust cover, and two grinding rings I got for free from people using my referral code :) I chose my standard 1/2" radius and also got a 3/8" radius to give that a shot. I've been meaning to try something with a bit more bite for stronger pushes. Funny side note - they never considered that somebody might have more than one referral code at a time, so I had to have them add the second ring to the order manually! LOL -
Same, the best was Staples but MLG was a close #2 (and Honda being a distant #3) and there's just nothing like pro ice. It's like glass! Also, am I the only one that pictures mini chocolate cakes every time somebody mentions Joe Louis?

The reward is the product and whatever other perks depending on how much you pledge. -

I just wanted to mention real quick - there is no such thing as ‘Kickstarter escrow’. When you back something on Kickstarter you aren’t buying a product, you are investing in an idea. Sometimes the product never happens and your money is gone. If they offer refunds, that’s their choice. They certainly aren’t required to. I just wanted to mention that because I often see comments on delayed projects that day things like “it’s been 6 months, I want my money back” from people who clearly don’t understand Kickstarter and it drives me bananas. -

He’s also an engineer, making suggestions or criticisms “as an engineer” pretty meaningless. That said, the fact that Russ was a MSH member is probably 60% of the reason I backed the project on Kickstarter in the first place. -

Hey @GregHenn19 looks like you tried to use photobucket. Don’t. It’s junk. Stick to imgur.com -

Is there an actual point you’re trying to make? It just seems like we’re beating a dead horse here. -

I’m not giving somebody business who messes up my skates. The Sparx does a great job so I’ll stick to that. -

I have edge protechs but they aren’t permitted during games. I had been using them for pickups until I had my own sharpener ;) Yes but you keep posting about a manual sharpener being better. We get it. For those doing high volume they might want to try the commercial version. I understand that not everyone is going to be in the market for a Sparx and prefer to do it manually. That’s fine. But this thread is for questions and discussion about Sparx and not the merits of manual vs Sparx sharpening. -

Okay, we get it. You think your sharpener is better. Let’s go ahead and leave this thread to discussion about the Sparx. -

Definitely nothing to do with dialect. -

For putting them on, I use a shoe horn. Taking them off I fully unlace 3 eyelets. I also warmed them up, stuck a softball in the opening and tossed them in the freezer. That opened them up just a bit. -

As a goalie, with the amount of damage I do from hitting the posts, I'm always interested/amused by how much noise it makes when it hits those spots! -

Why the sour taste? What should they have done if you were concerned about the warranty? -

Truth. I used to have to pull to get my skates tight. Now my laces are pretty much just snug enough that there's no slack. That's correct. You can't get Tuuks from True so they leave off the heel cup. -

Gotcha. Just a word I’ve heard a million times but had no idea what it meant. Thanks. -
