Review on Sharpen Your Tools With HTS 101I0 6Pc 180Mm / 40-600 Grit Diamond Flat File Set by Jason Hill

Revainrating 5 out of 5

About time I bought a new file.

I’ve had a small fine flat file that has been my favorite for forty years. Yes, really.I have bought other fine work file sets, but they always have just one flat file and other shaped ones I rarely have a need for.These are all flat, which is much more useful.They are also a little larger than my 40 year old and subsequently purchased kits.I am not sure how to select the right coarseness in the file kit for specific applications but will figure it out.I was using a mid grit file and it was becoming clogged. I tried a wire brush on it. No good. I then tried washing it. No good.In the end I used a length of duck tape. Stuck it down in the file surface a few times and repeatedly ripped it off. The tape held on to most of the clogging debris and the file was ready to go again!

Pros
  • They are smaller than I expected but were fine to do the job for which I needed them. Worked well.
Cons
  • Holding the file may be difficult for those with mobility issues
