| Hi
I always find with rifflers more than needle files that the cheap ones cut as well as the pricey ones just lack the comformity of shape. I have a set of true swiss needle files that are the shapes they should be half round three square square and flat. A cheaper set I have are perfect files just not true to the shapes. I have to say its no big problem just dosnt allow for accurate shapes to be filed. Im of the mind now that the cheap ones are perfectly ok for general work, i just keep the nice ones for valve gear and things like that.
One thing that climbs is the way tool stores pile files in boxes all banging against each other. I wont buy from boxes like that. Oh and plastic handles hate the things make my hands sore and the files hard to hold.
If im moaning il moan about the stores that sell conduit saws as hacksaws! hacksaws have straight handles conduit saws have pistol grips.
Im old I can be grumpy if I want.
