Williams Comfort Products 1-170-08-3-0 3-square File

Product Description

The WILLIAMS COMFORT PRODUCTS 1-170-08-3-0 is an 8-inch 3-square file designed for precision filing work in trade and mechanical service environments. The smooth cut profile delivers 46 teeth per inch, making it well suited for fine finishing, deburring, and sharpening tasks on metal components. Triangular in cross-section, this file shape accesses internal angles, slots, and saw teeth that flat or round files cannot reach. It is a hand tool used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople who need controlled material removal on tight or angled surfaces.

This 3-square file is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service applications. It is commonly used when cleaning up burrs on pipe ends, refining threads, sharpening hand saw blades, or fitting metal parts during installation or repair work. The 8-inch length provides a comfortable working reach for most bench and field tasks. Its smooth cut rating makes it the right choice when a fine finish is required and aggressive stock removal is not the priority.

Installation Notes

This file is a non-powered hand tool requiring no electrical connection or system shutdown for use. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling exposed file teeth. Secure the workpiece in a vise or clamp before filing to maintain control and avoid injury. Use a file card or brush to clear metal filings from the teeth during use to maintain cutting performance.
