Apex 21485N Metal Ferruled Wooden File Handle

Product Description

The APEX 21485N is a Number 1 size metal ferruled wooden handle designed for use with hand files and rasps in trade and shop environments. Constructed from wood with a metal ferrule that reinforces the collar and prevents splitting under torque, this handle provides a secure grip during material removal work. At 4.875 inches in overall length and weighing 0.11 pounds, it is sized for smaller files commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians who require precise control during filing operations.

This handle is suited for light-duty filing applications in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance settings. It fits Number 1 size tang files and is a standard replacement or spare handle for technicians who work with hand files across metalworking, plumbing rough-in, and general fabrication tasks. The compact length suits detail work and confined-area filing where a longer handle would be impractical.

Key Features

• Metal ferrule reinforces the handle collar and resists splitting during use
• Wood construction provides a natural grip and dampens vibration
• Number 1 handle size fits standard small-tang hand files and rasps
• Compact 4.875-inch length suited for detail and close-quarters filing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Number 1 size replacement wooden file handle compatible with hand files and rasps that accept a Number 1 tang fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool users and maintenance trades without specialized tools. To seat the handle, insert the file tang into the handle socket and tap the handle butt firmly against a solid surface to drive the tang in securely. Never strike the file blade directly. Inspect the ferrule for cracks before use and replace the handle if the wood shows splitting or looseness around the tang.
