Do Wedge Groove Sharpeners Really Work?

[Chicago Seminole]

Has anyone ever tried to use one of these tools on their wedges. I only see them in the back of golf magazines, so I assume they don't really work. My wedges have slapped alot of rocks at the driving range, and I was wondering if sharpening will add more spin. Thanks?

I've never used the square ended ones where you do each groove individually - those would probably really sharpen up the grooves! The one I have is like a comb - a sharp pointy comb of death, but you get the idea. It has to fit your wedge. For example, it fits like a glove in my old Mizuno and MacGregor grooves, but not at all in a couple of others.

It cleaned up the grooves enough for me to get another season or two out of them.

Never used them but I'd be curious if they'd make the grooves illegal after use.
