Stanley 22-098 Single Cut Round Bastard File 8 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 22-098 is an 8-inch single cut round bastard file designed for shaping, smoothing, and deburring metal, plastic, and wood surfaces. The round profile allows the file to work inside curved cuts, pipes, conduit openings, and circular openings where flat files cannot reach. A single cut tooth pattern removes material at a controlled rate and leaves a relatively smooth finish, making it a common hand tool on HVAC, plumbing, and electrical job sites. Technicians and tradespeople use this file for cleaning up rough cuts, fitting conduit knockouts, and dressing metal edges before assembly.

The 22-098 suits a wide range of trade applications including deburring copper pipe and conduit ends, smoothing sheet metal edges, opening conduit knockouts to exact size, and general-purpose metal fitting work. Its round taper profile is well suited to enlarging or cleaning up circular holes in enclosures, panels, and fittings. The 8-inch length provides enough working surface for controlled stock removal on medium-scale tasks in both residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Files are used without power; no lockout or shutoff is required, though personal protective equipment including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection is recommended when filing metal. Secure the workpiece firmly before filing to maintain control and prevent injury. Inspect the file tang and handle condition before use; a loose or missing handle is a puncture hazard. Follow applicable job-site safety requirements for hand tool use.
