Rolson 24779 16 pc File Set with Pouch

Always wanted a set of files and these are perfect good range of sizes good quality and good price

By any reckoning this is superb value for money. The files look well made and are certainly fit for general purpose use. The handles are securely fitted and look good too. Obviously no file is indestructible and will wear out quickly if (ab)used on very hard material. It is too early for me to say what these files might or might not withstand. I have used some of the files on hard plastic filler and they worked efficiently giving a smooth finish and did not clog unduly.The pouch is an important bonus as I do not really want files rattling about loose in my tool box, as they damage other tools not to mention each other. The pouch is well made of tough nylon with a freely running zip around 3 edges. It's neither a fault nor any problem, but a little care is needed when inserting or removing the files as they are otherwise inclined to abrade the elastic securing loops, as files do.

This is a good set of files, but the smaller ones don't seem to have the bite required and feel as though they are going to break when used. They even have trouble with hard plastic.

Bought on Amazon 12 years ago. I don't use these files a lot, but when I do, they are all there together in their handy and durable case. There is a good variety of file shapes and sizes, so whenever I turn to these files I find just the thing for the job. They work well, they last well, an excellent addition to the tool cupboards. If I lost them I would have to buy the same again without a doubt.

I was desperately trying to find a file set that came with a case. I can't be the only person who doesn't want all their other tools (and hands) to be scratched to pieces?! But unfortunately, most companies seem to do files on their own and you're left with either incredibly cheap or incredibly expensive ones if you want them in a case. I was going to buy the Draper ones, but I saw in the reviews that someone had suggested that these were exactly the same price but quite a bit cheaper and I'm pretty sure that they are the same too.Anyway, I bought these and so far so good. They're comfortable to hold and did the job well, which was to file a hole in my shed to make it a bit bigger so I could fit a grommet in it.You're not getting insane quality, but I think if you're like me and just want it for jobs round the home without breaking the bank, then I think you'll be happy with these.

A really good range of files both large and small but really good quality. I’m an old timer when it comes to my saws and have a Diston Philadelphia which doesn’t like files , most of which bounce of the teeth and don’t touch it due to the hardening, but not so with these they sharpened right from the first stroke and other projects. No worries

Whilst the files appear to be ok, I selected this product because of the case to keep the files together and tidy. Unfortunately the zip is of very poor quality. The item comes in it's packaging flat and not zipped up. The first attempt to close it was extremely difficult on the second attempt the zipper (not just the tag, the whole zipper) detached itself. Elastic bands now need to secure it. I would not buy this product again

Have been in my roller toolbox for a couple years now and i use them every day as a fitter/machinist.
