What Customers Are Saying

The 8-inch file is a versatile tool that can be used for sharpening and filing a variety of items, including lawn mower blades, axes, and gardening tools. It has both single-cut and double-cut sides, allowing for precise control over material removal. The file works well for smoothing metal edges, though some found it less aggressive than expected, particularly on harder woods. Overall, it appears to be a good value for basic sharpening and filing needs.

I bought this to sharpen a few shovels. I had never sharpened a shovel before, but I watched some videos online, bought this file and gave it a shot. It seemed to work well.

Good flat tool with second and course cuts

Would Recommend

Used for filing frets on a guitar neck, nice and flat and uniform when filing each section of the neck to remove material needed to lower the action and reset uniform spacing with a crowning file.
