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

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-170-08-2-2 is an 8-inch second-cut 3-square file rated at 36 teeth per inch (TPI). Three-square files feature a triangular cross-section with three flat faces, each carrying precision-cut teeth. The second-cut tooth pattern sits between bastard and smooth cuts, removing material efficiently while leaving a surface finish suitable for deburring, sharpening, and fitting metal components. This file is a hand tool used by trades professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as hard plastics.

This 3-square file is well suited for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades where technicians regularly need to deburr pipe ends, clean up threads, dress valve seats, or fit sheet metal components. At 8 inches in length, it is a practical mid-size file that fits standard file handles and provides good leverage for bench or field work. The 36 TPI second-cut configuration makes it appropriate for general material removal tasks that require more control than a coarse bastard cut.

Installation Notes
