Williams Comfort Products 1-160-08-1-0 Square File 8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-160-08-1-0 is an 8-inch square file with a bastard cut profile and 25 teeth per inch (TPI). Square files are single-purpose hand tools used to enlarge or true up square and rectangular openings, keyways, slots, and internal corners. The bastard cut rating places this file between a coarse and second-cut, making it suited for aggressive stock removal on metal surfaces before finishing with a finer file. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians reach for this type of file when dressing burrs, fitting conduit knockouts, or cleaning up threads and edges on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This square file is intended for general trade use across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications. It is sold individually and is appropriate for bench work or field service where precise material removal in confined slots or corners is needed. The 8-inch length provides sufficient leverage for controlled hand filing without sacrificing maneuverability in tight spaces.

Key Features

• 8-inch length suits a wide range of hand-filing tasks in the field or at the bench
• Bastard cut at 25 TPI delivers efficient stock removal with moderate surface finish
• Square profile accesses internal corners, keyways, slots, and rectangular openings
• Sold as an individual unit for targeted replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose square bastard-cut hand file suitable for use on ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and similar materials in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Always ensure the file is fitted with a secure handle before use to protect the hand from the tang. File in one direction only — on the forward stroke — and lift the file on the return stroke to preserve the teeth. Secure the workpiece in a vise whenever possible to maintain control and avoid injury. Inspect the file regularly for clogging and use a file card or brush to clear metal filings from the teeth.
