Only Good for Finishing - Not Metal Removal

Would Not Recommend

The surfaces are very smooth meaning they can only be used to final finish (file) already course filed surfaces. Youneed a different file to meaningfully remove metal or smooth out fough edges of cutouts / sheet metal edges. Nicely built but they don't work for most metal working challenges.

The files seem sturdy, I used them to file a door strike plate, and they easily grinded through the metal.
