Pferd 11801541 American File Set 5 Piece Bastard Grade

Product Description

The PFERD 11801541 is a 5-piece American-pattern file set designed for material removal, shaping, and finishing work across metal, wood, and composite surfaces. The set includes five file shapes — hand, round, square, tapered half-round, and three-square — each cut to a bastard grade with a 9.25-inch length of cut. Each file features an ergonomic built-in handle for better grip and control during extended use. A roll-up pouch keeps all five files organized and protected between jobs. This set is used by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance tradespeople who need a versatile hand-filing kit on the job site or in the shop.

This file set is suited for bench work and field applications where multiple file profiles are needed in a single kit. The bastard cut is a general-purpose grade that handles both aggressive stock removal and moderate finishing passes, making it appropriate for deburring cut pipe, fitting metal components, cleaning threads, and dressing weld seams. The combination of five distinct shapes covers most common hand-filing tasks without carrying individual files separately. The included roll-up pouch supports organized tool storage in a service van, toolbox, or shop cabinet.

Installation Notes

Hand files require no power source or special tooling. Keep file teeth clear of debris by using a file card or brush regularly during use to prevent pinning, which can scratch workpiece surfaces. Files are hardened tools — avoid dropping or striking them against hard surfaces, as the blade can chip or fracture. Store in the included roll-up pouch to protect cutting teeth and prevent contact with other tools.
