Apex Tool Group Llc 21524N Wood File Handle Size 2

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21524N is a size 2 wood file handle designed for use with Type C files. Machined from close-grain hardwood with a wax finish, it provides a firm, comfortable grip during filing work. A nickel-plated metal ferrule reinforces the neck of the handle, preventing splitting when the file tang is driven in and extending service life under regular shop use. This handle is a straightforward replacement or spare component for professional machinists, metalworkers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who rely on hand files daily.

This handle is suited for light to medium hand-filing applications in trade and industrial settings. It fits size 2 Type C files, making it a common choice for maintaining file sets in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical shops where hand files are used to deburr, shape, or clean metal edges and fittings. The wax finish reduces moisture absorption and keeps the wood from cracking in varied shop environments.

• Close-grain hardwood construction for strength and durability

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without power tools. Secure the file handle in one hand, align the file tang with the ferrule opening, and seat the tang firmly by tapping the butt of the handle on a solid surface or bench. Never strike the file blade directly. Inspect the ferrule for cracking before use to ensure the handle will not split under load.
