Great product, durable and high quality.
Great tool
Very effective at removing those metal shards on various implements. Great tool to have in my toolbox.
Great purchase
I needed a file that would fit in a small opening that would make the opening just a coyple of millimeters wider. This one worked perfectly.
Deadbolt Guide Widener
I have some smart locks that were brushing the inner guide of the deadbolt. I used this tool to file off some material so the deadbolt swings freely and it worked great. Can’t even tell it was used. Not that it’s packaging was annoying and I wish it came with the handle.

Fair priced and easy to use file
Easy to use filer for most metals and reasonably priced. Has multiple file grades that make it simpler to file various types of metals. Only thing I did not like is the grip - it’s not the easiest to grasp

Decent file. Cut not aggressive enough.
Decent file, but the cut wasn't aggressive enough despite the back of the package saying it was the highest end of aggressive. It worked, it just took me longer to hog away material than I would have liked. Time will tell if it has any durability.
Nice little file
Worked better than I expected
