Value Collection SC70575436 Hand File 8 in Double Cut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SC70575436 is an 8-inch American-pattern hand file designed for deburring, smoothing, and shaping metal surfaces in trade and maintenance applications. It features a double-cut tooth pattern and a smooth-cut coarseness grade, which removes material efficiently while leaving a refined surface finish. The file measures 25/32 inches wide and 7/32 inches thick, with the full 8-inch length serving as the cutting surface. It is fitted with a tang for use with a standard file handle. Weighing 0.65 pounds, it is sized for single-hand control on bench work and field jobs alike.

This hand file is suited for metalworking tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. Common applications include cleaning pipe threads, smoothing burrs on conduit cuts, fitting sheet metal edges, and dressing brackets or hardware. The double-cut pattern and smooth-cut grade make it appropriate for finish work where a finer surface is required after rougher stock removal. It is sold individually and works with standard aftermarket file handles available separately.

Installation Notes

Always fit a proper handle onto the tang before use to prevent hand injury from the exposed tang end. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and reduce fatigue. Apply consistent, forward-stroke pressure and lift the file on the return stroke to extend tooth life. Wear eye protection when filing to guard against metal filings.
