The Pro-Packs are conveniently bundled sets of sharpeners and accessories that will allow you to put different types of finishes on your blades. One isnt necessarily better than the others but one might fit your use case better than the others. You can check out this video to see which one is right for you.
Each sharpeners comes with a Depth Key and Alignment Guide. These Repeatability Tools allow you to record the specific mounting position for each knife. By recording these settings, you can reclamp your blades in the exact same position when its time for a touch up, allowing you to restore your edge in as little as 30 seconds.
