Pferd 14000167 Adjustable Body File Holder 12 Inch

Product Description

The PFERD 14000167 is an adjustable body file holder designed to grip and secure 12-inch auto body files during metal finishing and panel shaping work. The aluminum handle body provides a lightweight, rigid platform that allows the technician to adjust flex and tension across the file blade for controlled material removal. At 12 inches in overall working length and 2 inches in diameter, this holder is sized for standard flat and curved body filing operations. It uses a push-on attachment type, making blade changes fast and consistent on the shop floor. Body shop technicians and metal fabricators are the primary users of this tool.

This file holder is built for auto body repair and metal finishing applications where precise surface control is required. It is used in collision repair shops, custom fabrication shops, and production metalworking environments. The adjustable design lets the technician bow or flatten the file blade to match the contour of the panel being worked. It is compatible with 12-inch auto body files used in flat, low-crown, and high-crown finishing passes.

Key Features

• Adjustable tension allows the file blade to be bowed or kept flat to match panel contour
• Push-on attachment for fast, secure blade changes without additional hardware
• Aluminum handle material keeps weight low while maintaining structural rigidity
• Sized for 12-inch auto body files — the standard length for panel finishing work
• 2-inch diameter grip provides solid hand control during long filing passes

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12-inch auto body files with push-on attachment compatibility. Consult file blade specifications to confirm push-on mount fitment before use.

Installation Notes

No power source or electrical shutoff is required for this hand tool. Secure the file blade fully onto the holder before applying pressure to ensure the push-on connection is seated. Adjust the tensioning bow to the desired file curvature before beginning each pass. Inspect the aluminum body and blade attachment point regularly for wear or deformation that could affect blade retention.
