Nicholson 21503N Wood File Handle 4 in 6 in Files

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 21503N is a wood file handle designed for use with 4-inch and 6-inch files. It measures 4.125 inches long with a 1.0625-inch diameter and attaches via a push-on fit. The handle is fitted with a metal ferrule that reinforces the connection point and helps prevent splitting under repeated use. Machinists, toolmakers, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians use this handle to get a secure, comfortable grip on files during deburring, shaping, and finishing work. It is sold individually and is stocked for bench-shop and field applications.

This handle suits a wide range of file types and is a standard replacement or spare for shops and service vehicles that work with hand files regularly. Compatible file types include cantsaw, half round, knife, round, square, and warding profiles in 4-inch and 6-inch sizes. The push-on attachment means no additional hardware is needed for installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — push the file tang firmly into the handle until seated. Always inspect the ferrule for cracks before use and replace the handle if the ferrule is loose or the wood is split. Remove the file from the handle before storing to reduce stress on the push-on fit. Handle replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by any trade professional working with hand files.
