Value Collection SC00572537 Square File 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC00572537 is a 10-inch American-pattern square file designed for deburring, shaping, and finishing metal, wood, and plastic surfaces. It features a double-cut tooth pattern, which removes material faster than single-cut files and leaves a smoother surface than a bastard or second-cut grade. The smooth-cut coarseness makes it well suited for finishing passes where surface quality matters. A tang is included for use with a compatible file handle. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and general maintenance technicians who need precise hand-filing in square slots, keyways, or grooved workpieces.

This file is appropriate for both residential and commercial trade applications wherever hand filing is part of the workflow. Common uses include cleaning up burrs on pipe ends, squaring out notches in sheet metal, fitting metal components, and refining edges on fabricated parts. The square profile allows access to internal corners and slots that flat or round files cannot reach. It is a single-unit tool packaged individually, making it easy to add to a service van or shop toolbox.

Key Features

• 10-inch cut length provides substantial filing surface for medium to large workpieces
• Square profile accesses internal corners, keyways, and grooved slots
• Double-cut tooth pattern for efficient material removal with a smooth-cut finish
• Smooth-cut coarseness leaves a cleaner surface finish than coarser file grades
• Tang design accepts standard file handles for improved grip and control
• Rigid construction — not flexible — maintains consistent contact across the full file length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose American-pattern square file compatible with standard file handles sized for 10-inch files across residential, commercial, and industrial hand-tool applications.

Installation Notes

Always attach a properly fitted file handle to the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang point. File in one direction — on the forward stroke — and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve tooth sharpness. Wear appropriate eye protection when filing metal to guard against flying chips and debris. Store files individually or with blade guards to prevent tooth damage and contact with other metal tools.
