With some of the other file sets that we have tried one of the main complaints is that the weight is not properly balanced between the handle and the actual file.
When these aren't properly balanced it takes more work to keep the pressure of the file even on what ever you are using it to clean up or smooth.
It can result in over working the file; causing uneven wear, poor performance and even actual damage to the integrity of the file.
These files are comfortable to hold and use.
Each of the tools is well made with the handles and the files being carefully assembled/connected.
Their effectiveness in creating a finer finish is consistent after using several times on both wood and appropriate metals
16 assorted files give you almost all the variety you need for hand finishing your projects.
The handy little brush enclosed provides a gentle, yet effective, cleaning for each and all of the tools and should be used right after each use; before storing.
Design of the case is both practical and attractive.
It is a very simple and well constructed, zippered storage case.
Each file has its' own small pocked for the tool point to slip into and there is an wide elastic band by which each of the handles is secured.
This means that there is no risk of the file burrs rubbing against each other and prematurely wearing down.
At a current retail value of around $35 this excellent little set is well within Fair Market Value.
