Value Collection 382-0622 Swiss-pattern Half Round File Cut 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 382-0622 is a Swiss-pattern half round needle file designed for precision metalworking, deburring, and fine finishing tasks. With an overall length of 6.25 inches and a 3-inch length of cut, this file delivers controlled material removal in tight spaces where larger files cannot reach. The Cut 2 designation indicates a medium-fine tooth pattern suited for smoothing and shaping metal, plastic, or composite surfaces without aggressive stock removal. The half round profile gives the technician two working faces: a flat side for flat and convex surfaces and a curved side for concave profiles, slots, and rounded recesses. A handle is included for immediate use out of the package.

This file is suited for bench work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades where fitting, deburring pipe ends, cleaning burrs from conduit, or fine-fitting metal components is part of the workflow. Its needle-file precision class makes it a go-to tool for detail work on brackets, fittings, keyways, and similar small features that require careful hand filing rather than power tool removal.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides both flat and curved cutting faces in a single tool
• Cut 2 tooth pattern delivers medium-fine stock removal for smoothing and shaping
• Needle-precision class for controlled work in tight or detailed areas
• 3-inch length of cut maximizes usable filing surface relative to overall length
• Handle included for secure grip and immediate use
• Compact 6.25-inch overall length suits toolbox and service-van storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Swiss-pattern needle file for general trade and bench use across metalworking, mechanical service, and light fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Hand files require no power source, but eye protection should always be worn when filing metal to guard against chips and filings. File in one direction with controlled strokes and lift on the return pass to preserve tooth life. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent metal loading, which reduces cutting efficiency. This tool does not require calibration or special trade licensing but is typically used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and millwrights as part of standard bench and field service work.
