Your right not to think of using anything powered as that could take too much off and ruin the blade.
Have a look at fine diamond stones by Darlac but ceramic stones do give a nice hard edge.
Felco ceramic sharpening stones are an eye watering price now but when we bought our first ones they came with them.

I just use a standard £10 sharpening stone I bought from a DIY shop -- has two sides to it each with a different grade.
Sharpen my shears, secateurs, etc. with it several times a year and coat them in oil when not in use. Can't get on YouTube at work but there's an excellent guide by a bloke in his shed on sharpening blades.

Thank you for the replies. Much obliged. One more ? on sharpening.
I have a brand new set of Irwin Marples Chisels, how do I go about keeping these sharp? I bought one of the diamond sharpeners, link above, but I am guessing I need something flatter, perhaps a stone but have no idea what are good ones and ones to avoid. I saw the ceramic ones but at £60+ it's a little too expensive for me. Thanks again, I do appreciate it

Something like this will probably help you, but if your chisels are notched or really poor they will have to be ground periodically using a bench grinder.
Sharpening stones like the one above need much practice to get the best out of them....I prefer the traditional carborundum or whetstone type.

Agree with burnerman. One of these or similar will help to maintain the angle.
