Pro-Tip

Extend the Life of Your File: Never use a file without a handle, as the exposed tang can be a safety hazard. To prevent "pinning" (where metal shavings get stuck in the teeth), use a file card or a stiff wire brush frequently to clean the grooves during use. Additionally, avoid stacking your files on top of each other in a drawer; hanging them or storing them in a dedicated roll will prevent the teeth from rubbing together and dulling prematurely!
