Round file broke coming out of package.
Would Not RecommendWhile taking files out of package, the round 1 snaps. These files are help in by plastic. There is no reason a steel file should snap when removing from a plastic package. They should have made these files out of plastic, maybe it wouldn't have broke. Seems their plastic packaging is stronger than their steel files. It's not like I was trying to force it from the package either. There would be much more pressure applied to this file during usage than the force I applied to remove from package. ...
the packaging
Would Not Recommendis like a sick joke on whoever buys this. An otherwise great set, but holy smokes the way these are packaged is crazy...the files are wrapped tightly in what seems like packing tape.

Good quality set
Would RecommendIncluded in this set is a sharpening and finishing mill file, a round file for circular or concave areas and a half round file for quick filing. I was needed a flexible file set for sharpening a variety of tools and this fills the bill. The file set is good quality with comfortable handles and they do the job well. Most importantly, these have a lifetime warranty, but in reality, should last a lifetime. I am happy with the set. 5 stars
