Preciva File Set (3PCS Set)

Nice item, fast delivery, Should work great.

Product as described, works well and handles feel good in your hand.

These work well for minor wood removal. I would not recommend that for hand making things like axe handles.

These files have great balance and ergonomic handles, extremely sharp

As described.

Inexpensive tools are just Inexpensive. You get what you pay for. I would not buy them again because I use them often but for general use they are OK

For years I have been using Nicholson files without any issues on the files themselves, but occasionally I would break a handle on them here-and-there and decided to see if this set was any better. I’m keeping them in my garage workshop for use with my garden tools.Upon receiving these files, I noticed a few issues that I don’t have with my Nicholsons.- The metal finishing is comparatively rough and the texturing somewhat uneven.- There was a lot of machine oil coating the files, which I assume is for corrosion resistance during transport, but it was much more than needed.- The listing says that the file teeth are deeply hardened. Apparently, the manufacturer and I have a difference of opinion as to what that means, because with mild use the teeth are already wearing down substantially.Despite my issues, fortunately, the files are a decent thickness, the file patterns are even, and the handles are not crooked. These are just basic no-frills files for the occasional DIYer. If you want something that lasts, however, go for a more well-known brand.

I generally have not used rasps before but have been doing more work where one would make things easier so I figured this set would be a good entry point. It seems to work but it really hogs off material. I managed to round over the end of a piece but even glancing an unsupported edge caused a ton of tear out. I suppose much of the function comes down to technique but this does seem incredibly aggressive and not overly consistent. I guess rasps are much like files where you get finer ones and course ones so this is for sure a course set. I refined some of the rounding with a regular file and it seemed to clean up nicely and even better after some sanding.Pretty good set but extremely rough.
