Why Multi-Tool Blades Go Blunt So Quickly..
if you use an oscillating multi-tool regularly, you already know how quickly blades become blunt — especially when cutting hardwood, screws, nails, or metal. Replacing blades again and again gets expensive fast.
Most multi-tool blades are made from relatively mild steel with a thin heat-treated or coated cutting edge — sometimes with a few brazed carbide tips. The hardened layer is only microns deep, so once the teeth wear or overheat, that hardness is gone.
When the steel turns blue, it’s a clear sign the temper has been lost and the material has softened back to its base state. After that, you’re essentially cutting with low-carbon steel that dulls almost immediately.
“Carbide-tipped” blades can be misleading — once those tips are gone, performance drops rapidly. That’s why multi-tool blades are notorious for short life spans.
A multi-tool blade sharpener gives you a smarter option. Instead of throwing blades away, you can restore the cutting edge and get more life from every blade you own.
That’s exactly what the Revivablade sharpening system is designed to do.
Can You Sharpen Multi-Tool Blades?
Yes — and most people are surprised how effective it is.
Most oscillating multi-tool blades are made from relatively mild steel with a thin hardened cutting edge. Once that edge wears or overheats, the blade loses its ability to cut efficiently. But the blade body still has plenty of usable material left.
A purpose-built multi-tool blade sharpener reshapes a new cutting edge so the blade can cut again. Instead of relying on the original factory edge, you create a fresh mechanical edge that restores performance for several more uses.
Why Use a Multi-Tool Blade Sharpener?
Using a sharpener instead of constantly buying new blades helps you:
✔ Save money on replacement blades
✔ Reduce waste on site or in the workshop
✔ Keep working without running out of sharp blades
✔ Get more value from every blade you buy
For tradespeople and serious DIY users, a sharpener quickly pays for itself.
How the Revivablade Sharpener Works
The Revivablade system uses precision abrasive technology to re-profile the teeth of worn oscillating multi-tool blades. Powered by a cordless drill, it creates a consistent, sharp edge along the blade.
Instead of guessing with hand files or makeshift methods, you get a controlled and repeatable sharpening process designed specifically for multi-tool blades.
This makes it ideal for:
Plunge cutting blades
Wood and metal blades
Blades that have become dull or slightly uneven
Compatible with Most Oscillating Multi-Tool Blades
Revivablade sharpeners are designed to work with a wide range of oscillating multi-tool blades used by tradespeople and DIYers. Whether you’re cutting timber, plasterboard, or metal fixings, sharpening worn blades can extend their usable life and restore cutting efficiency.
Stop Replacing. Start Sharpening.
If you’re searching for a multi-tool blade sharpener, it’s likely because you’re fed up with how quickly blades wear out.
