Best File Handles
Do not try to file hardened steel with a (hardened steel) file; you will quickly ruin the file. HEAVY CROSS FILING: for course work, grab the handle of the file handle with one hand and place the palm of the other hand on the end of the file. LIGHT CROSS FILING: for detail work, grab the handle of the file with the dominant hand and place the fingers of the other hand on the end of the file. Orienting the file so that it points away from you, press down firmly (so that the file digs in and cuts the metal) and make long, slow strokes away from your body, removing downward pressure on the return stroke to prevent dulling the file. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

First I used one to carefully smooth down some rough edges on cut surfaces of glass wine bottles. The soft metal and plastic Christmas ornaments also had lovely smooth edges when I was finished."
"I chose these for my husband as I sat in the garage and realized we have a drawer filled with very old files!"
"very nice file set they will work out great for what I have them planned for."
"Works perfect and have one extra handle, very considerate!!"
"These are working great for some beginner whittling/carving projects."
"I am no expert but I can tell you that these files were the only thing I was able to use to put a dent in a hardened tool steel rod."
