Value Collection 382-0421 Swiss-pattern Needle File Cut 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0421 is a Swiss-pattern needle file designed for fine, precise material removal in tight spaces and detailed work. With a round cross-section and a Cut 2 tooth pattern, this file is suited for smoothing, deburring, and shaping metal, plastic, or similar materials where control and accuracy matter. The overall length is 4 inches, with a 2-inch length of cut, making it compact enough for intricate filing tasks. It includes a handle for secure grip during use. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians commonly reach for files like this when standard files are too coarse or too large for the job.

This needle file is intended for precision hand-filing applications in shop, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The Swiss-pattern designation indicates a finer, more consistent tooth geometry compared to American-pattern files, making it well suited for finishing passes on close-tolerance workpieces. It is typically used in metalworking, watchmaking, jewelry work, mold and die finishing, and general bench work where a high level of precision is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for general precision hand-filing applications across metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance trades.

Installation Notes

Files of this type are hand tools requiring no power or special installation. Always inspect the handle for cracks or looseness before use, and ensure the tang is fully seated. Use appropriate eye protection when filing metal, as fine chips and particles can be ejected during use. Store separately or with edge guards to protect the tooth geometry and prevent injury.
