Apex Tool Group Llc 21745N 8 Inch Half Round Bastard Cut File

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC 21745N is an 8-inch half round bastard cut file designed for material removal and surface shaping in trade and maintenance applications. One face is flat and the opposite side is rounded, giving the technician two working profiles in a single tool. The double-cut tooth pattern removes material quickly and suits rough shaping, deburring, and fitting work on metal, pipe ends, and similar surfaces. This file is sold individually and packaged on a card for easy point-of-use storage.

This file is suited for plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades who need to deburr pipe ends, dress fittings, or shape metal components in the field or shop. The 8-inch length provides adequate leverage for most bench and hand-fitting tasks. The combination of a flat and a rounded profile makes it practical for working both flat stock and curved or concave surfaces without switching tools.

Installation Notes

Files should be fitted with a proper handle before use to prevent injury from the tang.
