Scratch-Free Rectangular Files
Rigid
Flexible
Curved
Curved rows of teeth on both faces clear chips and create a scratch-free finish. The edges don’t have teeth, protecting adjacent surfaces when filing. Also known as auto-body and milled-tooth files. They do not include a handle.
Rigid files have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Flexible files bend to access hard-to-reach spots. They don’t have a tang and can be used with a two-hand holder (sold separately).
