For everyone that uses a file...

Thanks for the advice @PeterT

they cost more because they are better

I don’t mind spending more if they really are better. I’ve read that Nicholson files (for example) were good until their manufacture was moved to more a profitable country and now they’re iffy.

The trick is working out what’s better, even for lowly files…

So 2 or 3 dull sh*tty files don't equal one good one.

Dang that's my problem! I've never been very good at math.

Ordered two yesterday. Arrived today. Very nice. Shipping was 1/4 of what the fuel would have been and I have them in hand the next day!

THANK YOU @Dabbler !
