Product Description

The PFERD 12616109 is a push-on plastic file handle designed for use with hand files in a shop, maintenance, or trade environment. Measuring 3.5 inches in overall length, it attaches to file tangs via a simple push-on fit, providing a secure, comfortable grip during filing operations. The handle is constructed from plastic and is compatible with 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch files. It is a standard replacement or spare handle suitable for machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance technicians who regularly use hand files on the job.

This handle is used in both residential and commercial maintenance settings wherever hand filing is required. Typical applications include deburring pipe ends, shaping metal stock, fitting conduit knockouts, and general bench work.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — align the file tang with the handle opening and press firmly until fully seated. Inspect the handle for cracks before each use; a damaged handle can split under load and cause injury. When removing a file from the handle, tap the ferrule end gently against a solid surface rather than pulling on the blade. This handle is intended for hand-file use only and should not be used with power tools or rotary files.
