Here are a few suggestions for tools that you should keep in your fencing bag to perform some of the regular maintenance and testing.
Every fencer needs a small toolkit for equipment maintenance. The following tools and supplies are essential:
- precision screwdrivers for point maintenance and assembly; also handy for body wire repair.
- pliers for tightening points; wire cutters are also useful, and are incorporated into many pliers.
- Allen wrench, screwdriver, or socket wrench for pommel nuts.
- quick-drying (eg. cyanoacrylate) glue for emergency wire repairs.

One of the most popular pieces of equipment for sharpening is the grinders. It must be noted that the shop grinders are not for using on woodworking tools in their original state. They need some modifications done to them first. You will need to remove the original wheel that comes on the shop grinder and replace it with one of the wheels that is designed specifically for sharpening wood working tools. The original blade that came on your grinder is designed for sharpening items such as the blades of your lawnmower or for grinding in general.
Another part that also needs to be changed is the tool rest. You will find the tool rest that comes on the grinder difficult to adjust because it’s so small. This makes it most difficult for any type of control of your grinding. Doing your grinding up grades won’t be difficult to do because they are readily available on the market.
Once you have purchased your grinder and completed the necessary changes to it then you will be ready to start getting your woodworking tools back in shape where they can do a great job just like they were designed to do. Often novices to woodworking tools will blame the inferior job they are doing on the quality of the tool not realizing it’s because of a dull blade. Then there are some that will attempt to just change the blade instead of sharpening the one they have.
