Value Collection 382-0042 Swiss Needle File Set 12 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0042 is a 12-piece Swiss-pattern needle file set designed for precision hand filing in tight tolerances and detailed workspaces. Each file features a built-in round handle, eliminating the need for separate handle installation. The set is Grade 2 cut, placing it in the medium-fine range suitable for refining metal surfaces, deburring, and fitting components. Trades working with copper fittings, electrical panel knockouts, conduit edges, or mechanical assemblies will find this set covers the full range of profile shapes needed for accurate finish work.

This set is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where hand tool access is required for deburring, shaping, or cleaning up cut edges on metal, plastic, or soft alloy components. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly use needle files for dressing burrs on tubing, fitting slots, and conduit edges. The 12 included profiles cover flat, round, square, half round, three square, knife, barrette, crossing, equalling, round edge joint, and slitting geometries, giving a technician the full range of shapes without carrying multiple sets.

Installation Notes

Needle files are hand tools requiring no power source or special installation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves, when filing metal edges. Keep files clean and dry to prevent corrosion of the file teeth. Store individually or in the provided set to avoid contact between file surfaces, which can dull cutting teeth prematurely.
