Apex 37947 Three Square Needle File 6.25 Inch Steel

Product Description

The APEX 37947 is a three square needle file designed for precise material removal in tight, hard-to-reach areas. Its triangular cross-section creates three cutting edges along its length, making it well suited for filing slots, notches, and interior angles. Constructed from steel with cut-edge teeth, this file delivers consistent stock removal on metals and other hard materials. The overall length measures 6.3 inches with a working length of 6.25 inches and a width of 0.16 inches, keeping the profile slim enough for detailed hand-filing tasks. The part number is hard-stamped onto the tool for lasting identification. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople keep needle files like this in their kits for deburring fittings, dressing threads, and opening keyways.

This needle file is appropriate for bench work and field use wherever a small, precise file is required. Common applications include deburring copper pipe ends, dressing electrical knockout edges, cleaning up burrs on conduit fittings, and refining slots or grooves on mechanical components. Its compact profile allows access to recessed areas that larger files cannot reach. The file is sold individually and is well suited for professional tool kits and shop benches across electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades.
