The files in these sets have small tips for precise work in tight spots. They stand up to frequent use. All are Swiss pattern, so they’re made to exacting measurements to give you control over how much material you remove. They produce more consistent finishes than American-pattern files. File length does not include the length of the tang or handle.

Files without handles have a tang, so you can choose your own handle. Files with rubber-coated plastic handles are cushioned and comfortable to hold. Each handle has a hole so you can hang the file.

All sets include double-cut files, which have two sets of diagonal teeth. They remove material more quickly than single-cut files, but you’ll need to use heavier pressure. Some sets also include single-cut files, which are often used with light pressure to slowly remove material and sharpen tool-cutting surfaces.

Bend these files to conform to your workpiece and they will hold the shape until you bend them again. They can be bent more than 100 times without breaking. The small tip allows precise work in tight spots. These files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.

Keep different shapes of needle files on hand to remove material from stainless steel. The files in these sets almost never clog. Their small tip is ideal for work in slots, grooves, and other tight spots on intricate parts. With a Swiss cut pattern, they’ll leave a consistent finish—they’re made to more exact measurements than files with an American cut pattern. Since they’re double cut with two sets of diagonal teeth, you can put more pressure on them than single-cut files for quicker filing. All files resist corrosion.
