Apex 37842 Flat Needle File Cut 2 6.25 Inch Steel

Product Description

The APEX 37842 is a flat needle file designed for precision filing and deburring work in tight spaces and on detailed surfaces. Manufactured from steel with a hard-stamped marking style, this file features a Cut 2 edge profile, which delivers a medium-fine cut suited for smoothing, shaping, and finishing metal components. At 6.25 inches in file length with an overall length of 6.3 inches, it is sized for controlled hand work where standard files are too large. The flat profile and narrow 0.21-inch width allow access to slots, keyways, and close-tolerance areas common in mechanical and HVAC equipment repair.

This needle file is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pipefitters who routinely need to clean up burrs on cut pipe ends, filed contacts, bracket slots, and metal fabrication work. It is sold individually and suits both shop bench work and field service kits where a compact, precise filing tool is needed for light material removal and surface finishing on steel and similar metals.

Installation Notes

Needle files are hand tools and require no power source or code-specific installation procedure. Always wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against debris. Apply light, even strokes in one direction to extend file life and maintain a consistent cut. Inspect the tang and handle connection before use to ensure secure grip during operation.
