Gearwrench 82821H American Bastard File Set 6 Piece

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 82821H is a 6-piece American bastard file set designed for general metalworking, deburring, and material shaping tasks. The set includes six file shapes: flat, half round, knife, round, square, and triangular, covering the most common profiling and finishing needs in a shop or field environment. Each file features an ergonomic built-in handle for secure grip during extended use. With a 3-inch length of cut, these files are suited for precision work on metals, plastics, and composite materials. The set weighs 0.89 pounds, making it easy to transport in a tool bag or service van.

This file set is suited for machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who need to clean burrs from cut pipe, dress threads, fit panels, or shape material on the job. The six included profiles handle flat surfaces, curved contours, tight angles, and round bores. Bastard cut grade makes these files appropriate for faster material removal before finishing with a finer cut. The set is a practical addition to any service kit where hand filing is part of routine work.

Installation Notes

No power tools or codes are required for use of hand files. Always wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when filing metal to protect against chips and sharp edges. Inspect file teeth before use and do not use a file as a pry bar or striking tool, as the hardened steel is brittle and can fracture. Store files individually or in a roll to prevent teeth from contacting each other and dulling prematurely.
