Value Collection 382-0522 Swiss-pattern Half Round File

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0522 is a Swiss-pattern half round needle file designed for precision metal finishing, deburring, and detail work in tight tolerances. With a Cut 2 classification, this file delivers a medium-fine tooth pattern suited for controlled material removal and surface smoothing. The half round profile gives the technician two working surfaces — a flat face for flat or convex work and a curved face for concave surfaces and round openings. Overall length is 5.5 inches, with a 2.5-inch length of cut. It ships with a handle installed and is built for hand tool use by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance trades.

This needle file is appropriate for shop and field use where small-scale precision filing is required — deburring threaded fittings, fitting valve seats, cleaning up machined ports, or fine-fitting mechanical assemblies. The compact 5.5-inch overall length makes it practical in confined spaces. The included handle improves control during precision strokes. Suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and similar hard materials in both residential and light industrial maintenance applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Swiss-pattern needle file suitable for hand filing applications across maintenance, mechanical, and trade shop environments.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool and requires no power or special installation. Apply consistent, controlled stroke pressure to avoid tooth loading and premature wear. Use a file card or wire brush to clear metal filings from the teeth during use. Keep the file dry and stored separately from other tools to protect the cutting teeth.
