Williams Comfort Products 1-170-08-1-2 3-square File 8 in

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-170-08-1-2 is a 3-square (triangular) hand file measuring 8 inches in length with a bastard cut and 25 teeth per inch (TPI). This file is used to shape, smooth, and deburr metal surfaces, including sharpening saw teeth, filing notches, and working in tight corners where flat files cannot reach. The triangular cross-section allows work on internal angles of 60 degrees or less. It is a standard hand tool used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals during fabrication and service work.

This 3-square file is suited for general metalworking tasks encountered during trade installations and repairs. The bastard cut provides a medium-aggressive material removal rate, making it appropriate for stock removal on ferrous metals, conduit edges, pipe ends, and sheet metal. It is sold individually and is a practical addition to a field technician's hand tool kit.

Installation Notes

This file is a hand tool and does not require installation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when using hand files to protect against sharp edges and metal filings. Secure the workpiece in a vise before filing to maintain control and accuracy. Do not use a file without a properly fitted handle, as an exposed tang presents a laceration hazard.
