Apex 21524N Metal Ferruled Wooden File Handle No. 2

Product Description

The APEX 21524N is a No. 2 wooden file handle with a metal ferrule, designed to accept standard file tangs in workshop, maintenance, and trade applications. Measuring 4.5 inches in overall length, it is constructed from wood with a metal ferrule at the tang end to prevent splitting under load. This handle is a replacement or spare component for files and rasps, installed by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals who need a secure, comfortable grip on hand files.

The 21524N suits residential and commercial maintenance environments where standard file handles are needed. It fits Type C file handle applications and is appropriate for use with files requiring a No. 2 size handle. The metal ferrule makes it suitable for repeated use in higher-torque filing tasks where an unferruled handle would crack or loosen over time.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the file tang into the handle bore and seating it firmly, typically by tapping the handle end on a solid surface or using a mallet. No power tools are required. Inspect the ferrule for secure seating before use to ensure the handle does not split under load. Always point the file tip away from the body when attaching or detaching the handle.
