Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21715 is an 8-inch round bastard cut file designed for material removal and surface finishing on metals, plastics, and wood. The bastard cut refers to a medium tooth coarseness, making it well suited for fast stock removal before moving to finer finishing steps. The round profile allows filing inside curved surfaces, pipes, and circular openings. It ships with a red handle installed, giving the technician a secure grip during use. At 1.56 pounds, the file has solid heft without causing fatigue during extended work.

This file is a standard hand tool used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. It is commonly used to deburr conduit ends, enlarge knockout holes, smooth pipe fittings, clean up brazed joints, and dress metal edges before assembly. The 8-inch length is a versatile shop and field size that fits standard tool pouches and rolls. It is sold individually as a single unit.
