Value Collection PB--20564-8 Half Round Double File 8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PB--20564-8 is an 8-inch American-pattern half round file with a double cut and bastard coarseness. It features a flat face and a curved face, giving technicians and tradespeople two working surfaces in a single tool. The file measures 3/4 inch wide and 7/32 inch thick, with a tang end designed for use with a separate file handle. The double-cut pattern removes material faster than a single-cut file and is well suited for roughing work on metal, plastic, and similar materials. At 8 inches in length, it fits comfortably in standard file-and-rasp applications across a wide range of trade and shop tasks.

This half round bastard file is a standard shop and field tool used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople for deburring, shaping, and fitting pipe ends, brackets, sheet metal edges, and conduit. It is equally at home on a shop bench or in a service vehicle tool kit. The compact 8-inch size makes it easy to work in tighter spaces where a longer file would be awkward to handle.

Key Features

• Half round profile provides a flat face for flat surfaces and a curved face for concave or rounded surfaces
• Double-cut tooth pattern for faster material removal on roughing passes
• Bastard coarseness rating for aggressive stock removal while leaving a workable finish
• 8-inch file length suitable for general bench and field use
• Tang end accepts a standard file handle for a secure grip during use
• 3/4 inch wide by 7/32 inch thick cross section for good rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard American-pattern half round bastard cut file suitable for general metalworking, pipe fitting, sheet metal, and maintenance applications across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or experienced technician should always mount the tang into a properly sized file handle before use to prevent hand injury. File only in the forward stroke direction and lift on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Keep the file clean with a file card or brush to prevent tooth loading. Files should not be used on rotating workpieces unless specifically designed for that purpose.
