About Files
Files, also known as American-pattern and machinists' files, are used to remove material quickly.
Precision files, also known as Swiss-pattern files, are made to exacting measurements to ensure smoothness and are useful for finishing delicate and intricate parts.

Files for Plastics, Laminates, and Fiberglass
Extra-sharp teeth cut quickly. These files do not include a handle but do have a tang that fits into a handle. Length does not include the tang.
Single Cut—Surface has one set of diagonal teeth and is often used with light pressure to slowly remove material.
Rapid Cut—Diamond-shaped teeth quickly remove material.

Digital Durometer Hardness Testers
Measure the hardness of flat materials, such as plastic, rubber, and laminate. For more information about durometer scales, please see the bottom of About Rubber.
These testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they’ve passed a test for accuracy. A maximum-reading indicator holds the highest reading until reset. Use the USB/RS-232 port for direct connection to your PC.

Durometer Hardness Testers
Measure the hardness of flat materials, such as plastic, rubber, and laminate. For more information about durometer scales, please see the bottom of About Rubber.
Style 1 testers can be held in your hand or mounted to a stand with the included knob.
Style 2 testers have a narrow base for access to confined areas. They can be held in your hand or mounted to a stand with the included knob.
Style 3 testers come with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST that states they've passed a test for accuracy.
Testers with maximum-reading indicator hold the highest reading until reset.
