Pferd 12616113 Plastic File Handle 5.78 in

Product Description

The PFERD 12616113 is a push-on plastic file handle designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip on hand files used in metalworking, fabrication, and general trade applications. Measuring 5.78 inches in overall length, it fits files sized 12, 14, and 16 inches, making it a versatile replacement or spare for shops and field technicians who work with multiple file sizes. The push-on attachment style allows for fast installation without tools. At 0.108 pounds, the handle adds minimal weight while improving control and reducing hand fatigue during extended filing work. Machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This handle is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and field maintenance settings where hand files are used to dress metal edges, fit parts, or remove burrs. It is compatible with 12-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch files, covering the most common file lengths found in trade toolboxes. The plastic construction resists moisture and common shop fluids, making it appropriate for wet or oily work environments where a wooden handle would swell or crack over time.

Installation Notes

A licensed or experienced tradesperson can install this handle by aligning the handle socket over the file tang and pressing firmly until seated. No tools are required for standard push-on installation. Inspect the tang and handle socket for cracks or deformation before seating to ensure a secure fit. Replace the handle if it becomes loose, cracked, or difficult to grip, as a loose handle during filing can cause injury.
