Ratings & Reviews for Project Source 9-in Multi-cut Coarse Tooth Set Flat Half round Knife Round Square Triangle File

they are alright

The carry case is nothing like the picture. All the pockets are about an inch big. Aka just the tip of the file fits into it, then the rest of the file velcros on so it stays put.. not that bad of a file set for the price, ive been using them for about a week now and they havent caused me much trouble, they kinda fall out of the handles a lot but thats about all... i havent touched the tiny files though cuz im afraid they will snap first use, very flimsy... but the big ones are good for the pric...

Different case

On 7/13/2017 I went to my local Lowe's and thought I was buying the set pictured above. But the set came with a different tool roll. Instead of a long sleeve for each file there is only a short pocket to put the end of the file in and a velcro strip to hold down the handle end. The velcro doesn't push down very well between each file and they tend to move together when rolled up. Not sure how the tool roll is supposed to stay closed. It comes with a 30" piece of light weight cord but it's not at...

Don't get sooooo emotional.

It's a heck of a bargain for ~$20. If you are a professional woodworker or carpenter, this set probably isn't for you. If you're into small projects, tinkering around, and in my case, needing to assist my son with a Pinewood Derby Car then I highly recommend. It's a modular set and the files could fit better into the handles. It's a "Project Source" product, not Porsche. Well worth the money and they held up for all of my small projects.

Adequate set

I bought the set a few years ago under name Taskforce. Work fine to shape wood and deburr and smooth edges of metal. Just did some final shaping of 1/8" aluminum with the flat files without problem. I plan to pick up one or two name brand files now that I know which I use the most. Then I can compare. A set for $20 is a good deal. My canvas case is a little different than shown, but while the fit of files was tight at first they did loosen up and are ok now. Have to be careful wrapping it so the...

Files are fine, case? Not so much

The files are fine. Plenty sharp. If it had come with the case shown in the picture, it would have been really cool. But it is not that case. Mine as pockets about an inch long on the bottom and a Velcro strap about halfway up that does not align with the holes. Pretty useless. I just through the files in a drawer of my toolbox and threw the case away. Files (what I bought it for) were fine, though.

Great set for the price!

Great set for the price, with a carrying/storage case included! Can't ask for more.

Worst Lowe's purchase ever

These files are such terrible quality, they could not survive a couple hours of use. I had to go back the next day and return these to buy a better set. I only needed to file the inside of my kitchen cabinets to get clearance for a new coat of paint and they didn't even survive the bottom cabinets (6 total). Do not waste your time or money on these.

Project Source 23 piece file set

I bought the set because of the value, but now I see why it was so cheap. I was unable to insert the files into either handle, making it useless. I am returning today and will buy a quality set.

CHEAP

Quality of Files is average. The carrier/pouch what ever is very poor quality the "slots" are to small and hard to insert the files into. I needed the files so I could finish my project or I would have returned to Lowes.

garbage

Files don't fit in the carrying case and the handles are worthless. Spend more money and get a better set.

Large selection at reasonable cost

Picked up the file set because I needed a single flat file to sharpen garden tools. Price for the set made buying the set competitive with buying a single file. Not clear how files are intended to be pocketed in the included canvas roll, but nice to have a place to keep all the files nonetheless.
