How Route Service Works

Unlike on-site sharpening services, Thad collects your shears during his scheduled route, completes the sharpening and tune-up process in his workshop, and returns them the following day. Loaner shears are available while your tools are being serviced, helping minimize downtime.

This process allows for a more thorough sharpening and inspection than quick on-site services can typically provide.

Schedule Your Stop

If you're located along one of the June routes, don't wait until your shears become difficult to work with. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your investment and keeps your cutting performance consistent.

Contact Thad today to be added to an upcoming route stop and keep your shears cutting like new all summer long.
