Nicholson 22040NNN 5-piece American File Set with Pouch

Product Description

The NICHOLSON 22040NNN is a 5-piece American-pattern file set designed for metal filing, deburring, and shaping tasks common in trade and maintenance work. The set includes a half-round file, a mill file, and a slim taper file in both bastard and smooth cuts, covering a range of material removal rates and finishing requirements. The files ship with a storage pouch, keeping the set organized and protecting cutting surfaces between uses. At 1.7 pounds, the kit is compact enough for a tool bag without sacrificing a versatile file selection. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals use American-pattern files daily for fitting, sharpening, and surface preparation work.

This file set suits residential and light commercial maintenance environments where a technician needs multiple file profiles on a single call. HVAC techs, plumbers, and general maintenance trades reach for this kit when cutting, deburring pipe ends, fitting sheet metal, or sharpening blades. The half-round profile handles both flat and curved surfaces, the mill file works well on flat stock and saw teeth, and the slim taper file fits into tight slots and notches. The included pouch keeps all five pieces ready and protected in a tool bag or service van.

Installation Notes

Files are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Store files separated or sheathed to prevent teeth from contacting each other, which dulls cutting edges prematurely. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling file sets and ensure workpieces are securely clamped before filing. Inspect file teeth before use and replace any file showing broken or heavily worn teeth to maintain safe and effective material removal.
