Williams Comfort Products 1-160-10-1-2 Square File 10 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-160-10-1-2 is a 10-inch square file with a bastard cut and 23 teeth per inch (TPI). Square files are single-purpose hand tools used to enlarge or true up square and rectangular openings, deburr metal edges, and dress slots in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 0.467 pounds, this file is lightweight enough for extended hand use without fatigue. The bastard cut sits between second-cut and rough-cut grades, making it well suited for moderate stock removal on mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials encountered in trade work.

This square file is appropriate for use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where metal components require fitting, deburring, or slot dressing. It is a practical addition to any field technician's or shop technician's hand tool kit. The 10-inch length provides good reach and leverage for work on panels, brackets, enclosures, and structural metal components without requiring a bench vise setup in most applications.

Installation Notes

Hand files should be fitted with a proper handle before use to prevent injury from an exposed tang. Always secure the workpiece in a vise or with appropriate clamping before filing. File in the forward stroke only and lift on the return stroke to preserve cutting teeth. Dispose of worn files according to local shop safety practices and never use a file as a pry bar or striking tool.
