Nicholson 21494N Push-on Wood File Handle 6 8 10 in

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 21494N is a push-on wood file handle designed to fit standard 6, 8, and 10 inch files. Measuring 4.5 inches in length and 1.1875 inches in diameter, it provides a comfortable, secure grip during filing operations. The handle is constructed from wood with a metal ferrule at the tang end to prevent splitting under load. It is a replacement or add-on handle used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance tradespeople who work with hand files across a range of material types.

This handle is suited for workshop, job site, and maintenance environments where hand files are used for deburring, shaping, or finishing metal, wood, and other materials. The push-on attachment type allows straightforward installation onto file tangs without additional hardware. It is compatible with multiple file profiles, making it a practical single-SKU stocking item for tool cribs and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require tools beyond the file itself. Align the file tang with the handle socket and press firmly until the tang is fully seated.

No power shutoff is required, but eye protection is recommended when working with hand files.
